Ugly Sweater Party!!!

What a fun night we had. Complete with fake play-doh cookies (nice try Sam & Mo). Thank you Ashley for the heads up on those. I also found a sock in my purse at the end of the night. Our ornament exchange was great and of course the food was awesome, I love you girls!!!

The ugly sweater bunch ;)





Kitchen fun


We played a hilarious game of 'psychiatrist'. Melissa's Santa sweater won the most votes. Mostly due to the fact it had a massive hole in it. Right on Santa's mouth. ;)

What's missing? Willy Wonka

Oh my. Another box full of temptation just plopped itself next to my desk. Here at work we have officially overdone the 'goodies'. There's chocolate chip cookies, pretzels dipped in chocolate with sprinkles on them, brownies, dark chocolate covered espresso beans, gift baskets full of....yup...."chocolate-everything-you-can-imagine". I think I have managed to try each and every treat today. Well, I'll take that back and be honest. I've managed to oink out on all the treats today. Not to mention the Tricks company party was last night where again there was a whole table full of sugary goodness. If you haven't guessed it by now I am a dessert addict. Jeremy would totally not be surprised at my actions today. ;) I love all things chocolate. Heck I love all things dessert! Tonight is the ugly sweater party and I'm pretty sure there will be cookies there, and I will be taste testing them all in my ugly Christmas vest. ;) 

How Snowzilla was defeated

Frosty has met his match....a 22' tall snowzilla in Alaska! The creator brought in his neighbors and his own kids to help build the gigantic iceman. The only bummer is he'll never be put together again. ;( Read the story  HERE

That baby is a king?

Better believe it! My king. Listen HERE. 

Merry Christmas Everybody!!

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy 2009!!!



Every year I try to take a picture of the tree. Since we got Mimzy, she's been in the 'way' of those pictures. What a ham.

She also gets a Charlie Brown tree for herself. It keeps her out of our ornaments!!

You think I possibly scared this poor soldier? ;)

Snuggie, dance, & tea

I saw a commercial today for a 'snuggie. The blanket with sleeves'. you just stick your arms in this blanket and pull it up over your chest. Wouldn't that be considered a backwards robe? I thought it was the goofiest thing. What about the back side? It's like a heavy duty hospital gown.

Sorry, off my opinionated topic of nonsense. I'm pretty excited as today was my second day of training. I have never been so sore! Jumping, dancing, and stretching for almost 4 hours straight with a bunch of giggly 3-5 year olds will make you tough. We did a lot of technique but mostly it was all girly FUN! We got to do freeze dance (complete with cottonball snow), dress up, travel to the north pole, AND we created our very own frosty the snowman. Tomorrow.....I'm on my own. ;P eeks!

Tonight calls for a bath. If I had a snuggie it would just top off the evening. ;) Hey thanks to all of you who have been so super supportive of my recent post about the tea. I need to take more pictures and start doing tablescape tuesday! Thank you ladies...and to Myrna who boosted my self esteem. ;)
