Finally....a White Christmas.

Prepare yourself.....pictures from Texas....with snow....on Christmas!

Signs of Christmas

As I sit here, with a supersize poster of Nick Jonas staring at me, I can't help but be excited about Christmas. Ok, not really, I still have approximately 100 of Becca's presents to wrap on Christmas Eve...it is our tradition after 15 years.

A Time To Give Thanks....

As I learned at the 3rd grade program, the 3rd grade is very thankful for Mashed Potatoes.....it was hysterical. RyRy not so much....she doesn't usually eat them. Here is her line.....

You Wanna Be What????

So Halloween rolled around this year, as normal. Usually RyRy is something sparkly, pretty, or pink. Here's a recap of the costumes over the years....

2001 Cat

2002 Tinkerbell

2003 Lilo

2004 Sleeping Beauty

2005 Pink Power Ranger

2006 Sleeping Beauty

2007 Ariel

2008 Camp Rock

So I casually ask her 'What do you want to be for Halloween this year?' She says "A vampire in a bloody dress." Hold up.....what? "A vampire in a bloody dress." she says again. At that point, I reallize that watching the Vampire Diaries and Twilight have caught up with me.....I have turned her to the dark side. She was insistant. So, off we go to look for the perfect Vampire in a Bloody Dress costume. After about 12 costumes stores with no luck....I gently say "Why don't you be Elle Woods from Legally Blonde? I will buy you some cool shoes to wear."

Done deal.....the $34.99 wedges did the trick, and I managed to steer her another direction.
