{more joy} Happy Thanksgiving!

I know I'm a day late, but you didn't expect me to post on Thanksgiving did you? We had a great Thanksgiving with Rob's family yesterday and we're going for #2 tomorrow with my family!
I opted to shop online at midnight and sleep in this morning. Then I took the kids to two stores this afternoon and that was plenty for me--and for Squiggle. Since it is Black Friday, all digital scrapbooking stores are having sales and the designers I CT for had grab bags for only $3. So, I've been busy the last week scrapping LO's I couldn't post until today.
This is Lulu & Buddy portraying the nativity last APRIL--don't you just love kids?
Last year Lulu & Buddy loved sledding:
These are some pics of Squiggle on her first birthday in May. When she was a younger she always made the funniest faces. I caught a few of them on camera this day. I also did this LO for a monochromatic challenge.
Here are my cute kiddos. I love this picture because Lulu & Buddy wanted me to take the picture. They were cuddling with Squiggle and wanted me to take this picture. Can you feel the love?
This is yet another LO from our trip to Arizona. Our last day there we had a few hours to spare before Brenda's wedding reception, so we stopped at the Chinese Cultural Center in Phoenix and they had a Chinese Garden. Although it was about 110 degrees we still had a good time and the kids loved taking pics with the statues--I think because they were their size. This kit is from Simply Sweet Designs--one of my new CT's.
Here is Squiggle on Santa's lap last year at the Family Christmas Party. She wasn't too interested in him, but appreciated the doll he brought her.
Lastly, I made a LO of "Twilight" for a challenge to scrap the last movie you saw. Since there is so much fervor over this movie, I thought it would be fun to scrap my memory of seeing "Twilight" at midnight.
That's all from me! If you made it through this whole post I'm thankful for your patience and friendship!

{more joy} Life after Halloween

Well, our life  did continue on after Halloween--just not in the blogging world. 

We took Lulu & Buddy to "Disney on Ice" and had a great time.  Squiggle got to spent to the night at Grandma & Grandpa's house--so fun all around :)  We took TRAX to the show and Buddy was more excited to ride the train than he was to watch the show--and was not disappointed!  Lulu's favorite part was all the princesses dancing with their princes and Buddy's favorite part was Nemo.  The best part for me? After the show was over the kids weren't disappointed to leave because they realized they got to ride the train AGAIN! 

I also got to see "Twilight" at 12:15 AM.  I just read the books last month and wasn't sure I wanted to see the movie as I didn't approve of the cast (at first glance) and new disappointment was probable.  But when Ashley (my SIL) and her sisters had an extra ticket to the opening show I grabbed it and had a blast.  The movie was a pretty good adaptation and Edward won my heart as soon as he spoke and continued to impress throughout the movie.  Although there were a lot of staring/camera circling scenes, I think they did a great job overall.  Now I want to read the books again!  BTW, if you want some Twilight Flair, check out these by Ellie Lash (one of my fav digi designers).

I've also been busy scrapping this month (I'm sure that is a surprise).  I got accepted onto two more Creative Teams (CTs) and have accepted to be the CT Leader of Andilynn Designs.  We are hosting a blog train with some fun Thanksgiving freebies tomorrow.  The other CTs are Haynay Designs and Simply Sweet Designs--both of which are great designers.
