Grinch

“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons.
It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags.
And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before.
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store.
What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”

Last Saturday we crashed another wards Christmas Party; It was AMAZING!!! They made it into the town of Whoville, they had Cindy's Candy Shop and the Whoville Bakery but the best part was the GRINCH. The Grinch is one of my Mother in Law's friends, he was great I wish I would of videoed it!

Be Gratefull 4s

I had a Be Grateful 4 party a few weeks before Thanksgiving. We had Costco pot pie (Oh so Good) and Jeanie made her pies. Jeanie... Mrs. Norma Jean you make some classy pies. Pecan Pie oh how I love you.
I had everyone make a list of things we were grateful for... I wanted to know everything.... Michelle and I are grateful for DIET COKE.
I was sad because my Mr. Johnson forgot me.... really the months before I nursed you back to health.... I showered you... I have birthed your babies... All the TDY's I DON"T MAKE YOUR LIST!!!
This ended suddenly... Dave Fell... What... oh it's Dave... I know no one stronger... HE WILL BE FINE... he is doing what needs to be done... Healing... But my Michelle she is waiting. I instantly felt panic... panic for her... cuz I had been there or so I thought... weeks later our Dave died... what? so wrong??? I just don't understand... Nothing will be the same... not even a card game. I mourn him; I wish to have back all the opportunities we had to be together that we said no to... we were too busy... too hard with little ones....
Here are some of the pictures from my party:

Uncle David & Gerard's in Town!

I alway's look forward to seeing Bry's brother David! David and Gerard live in Florida so we see them once a year. During their few days here they are packed so I have never just stood still with them; I want to know what they are like together, how they spent their time together. I am curious to see if Dave is like Bry... Just so many question marks???
Anyways... on the last night they were here they gave the girls PILLOW PETS!!!! the #1's on both kids list. The next day I asked Ella if we could go see Santa..... "but he will ask me what I want.... I don't want anything..... well maybe I will just tell him I still want one and than I'd have two.... but Mom 2 won't fit on my bed"

Pray... Pray... Pray....
