Born a gamblin' man

Like father like son.

Christmas round one

For your viewing pleasure. And for the record there is simply nothing better than Christmas with Deacon.

Also I apologize, my voice is far more annoying than I imagined on film.

We have been sick

But we missed you. 

Girls night

Is good for my soul. 

Scenes from last night

I make dinner he does this. It is a nice arrangement we have going.

Bite me Edward......

No, bite me twilight. Worst movie this year, and I saw House Bunny.

Merry Christmas

AND A HAPPY YEAR END!

The Ronald Mcdonald House

BEFORE!!

AFTER!

I am full of warm fuzzy feelings today, how could I not be! We had so much fun redoing a room at the Ronald Mcdonald house. I can not say thankyou enough times to everyone who helped. We had a photographer, artist writer donut delivery girl, errand runner,furniture painter, expert wall fixture hanger. So many talented people! At the end of the day an old women who works at the house came to look at the room and she said "I have worked her for twenty years and I have never seen anything like this! It makes my heart swell!" We could not have had a better compliment. I wish I had a picture of all the girls who painted the night before so we could have a jump start on today! I can not wait to do this again next year! Find your own way to spread holiday cheer, it is well worth your time!

O Christmas tree!

Christmas is all around you. You know
I love Christmas I always will.

It is beginning to look A LOT like Christmas!

If you dont feel warm and cozy all over

yet then I do not know what is wrong with you!

This was a jerk of a Christmas tree, it fell, I cried we cut two feet

off. Looks pretty now.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.

Now come over and bask in the Christmas overload.

I can not help it I was born this crazy. Merry Christmas!

Now show me your Decor! I am dying to see!

Thanksgiving!

We had such a fun Thanksgiving this year. We hosted it at our house and amazingly my stress levels were at an all time low. It was the Leasure family Thanksgiving this year and it was a blast. Some highlights were:

1.Delicious turkey, if you have never tried a turkey bag before, it was amazing, the meat was falling off the bone!
2. My turkeys made out of candy craft kicking Kris' christmas ornament crafts butt! (notice there are no pictures of said craft? hmmmm.)
3. Curt dressing up for the occasion (see pictures)
4. John the pie king Leasure in attendance (again see pictures)
5. Lots of flavors of bubbly going around. I think pear was the group fav. but personally I vote for peach.
6. Me winning Curtis in an intense round of catch phrase, something I am sure has never happened before and never will again.
7. Deacon being high on life with two older cousins to play with.
8. Paula why do I not have a picture of you?
9. Mark trying to shove candied yams down Maxs' throat.
10. Early moring footbal with friends (Curtis certainly NOT me, I am a lady.)

Fun Thanksgiving all around! Christmas tree antics still to come! Visit me tomorrow!
