family, movies and snowmen!

HI girls!

hope everyone had a wonderful turkey day. we did. All of my kids were home. Little tony wasnt going to come home because he had to work the day after, but he came here and then went back to Itaca, only to come back again last night to stay for the weekend. Its about a 2 & 1/2 hour drive! but I was so glad he came home. I hated the thought of him being by himself on a holiday! We of course had way too much food.. but it was so good. I dont even think I had a bit of everything. couldnt fit it all on my plate! lets see, there was turkey, stuffing, mashed potatos, gravy, sweet potatos, squash, brocoli salad, shrimp cocktail, rolls, pickles, olives ,cranberry sauce and rolls. And of course, two pumpkin pies, apple pie and a mincemeat pie. Sooo much work! And now there are soo many left overs! I will be eating this stuff all weekend! Tried to get a picture of my Sweet adorable children, but there was not alot of cooperation! in fact one might think there is something wrong with the youngest one (in blue... I think you can tell which one I'm talking about... ) he and his brother kept making faces and throwing the finger and sticking their fingers in their noses!!! How old are they?? dont ask! but they are alot of fun!

(get that finger out of your nose young man!!!)

Yesterday for black friday.. where do you think I was?? out shopping of course?? My daughter and my sons girlfriend and I left at 7:00 am and didnt get home until 10:00 last night! We had a great day though. I was able to get a lot of the gifts I needed to get, Jennifer bought a lot of decorations and things she needed for her apartment. We did get pretty tired out I have to admit. We shopped until about 2:00 then we had a delicious lunch at Red Robbin, then we shopped some more! then we caught the 5:45 showing of AUSTRALIA at tinsel town.

Oh my gosh! what a movie! it was soo good! I want to see it again. Hugh Jackman is so freaken hot! eiy yie yie!! yie yie!! I was surprised by the length of the movie.. just under 3 hours. and a little concerned in the beginning.. as it starts out a bit oddly.. but it picks up and you follow along and get sucked right in. I do have to say I cried a few times. but in the end.. well, I wont tell you.. but I will say, I have no doubt that this movie will win oscars.. the little boy... omg! go see it for yourself! (dont drink anything so you wont have to miss a minute to go to the freaken bathroom!! ha!!)

OK what else? the snowman swap! How is everyone doing?? are you ready to mail? its that time! but dont forget to send me pictures of your snowman creations! I have pictures of 3 and there are 24 of us! so email those pics chicks!! (ha! i just kill me sometimes!) I really cant wait to see what youve all been making! mine will go into tomorrows mail!

OH! I have a craft room now! I moved in. but its not anywheres near what I want it to be.. so it will be a work in progress.. and someday... maybe I'll show you pics ! Well, thats where I'm off too soon.. first I need to make a cup of tea and go over my christmas list and finances and decide where to go shopping later today... I think today will be tractor supply! hubby needs some barny boots!

I'll be back! huggs!
