A Hard Day's Work

The voting is officially over and I wanted to thank to everyone who voted. Now, I have to add the results from the online poll, the email votes and the points from the "day of" voting. The winner will be announced at Christmas and the winners get to split the CASH prize.

I can finally show some photos from the contest. I can't show all the good photos, because I can't show everyone's outfits just yet. I had the hardest time finding one of Marcia and Delby working on their house without showing their outfit.

I had so much fun working on the houses and I know everyone else did to. We are already making plans for next year, especially to cut down on the amount of candy we had leftover. The best part is we sent the houses with Sharon to sell and all the proceeds are going to the Hayden Grace Memorial Fund.

Help Us Pick A Winner

I can't show you photos of us making the houses, because then you'll know who decorated what house. And I can't show you our "Outfits" just yet either.

And I can't announce the winner, because we need all of you to VOTE. Look at all the photos and then vote to the right of the screen. The voting ends Dec 6th at 11pm. You can only vote 1 time! Thanks for being our impartial judges (do not leave clues in the comment section team members-be good)! Make sure to click on the photos to see the details!

I can't even begin to tell you how much fun it was!

Thankful

What I'm Thankful for:
My sweet little angel that has changed my life and my heart forever. Because of Hayden Grace I find joy in all the small moments, I make sure to enjoy my life, surround myself with family and friends and take not a single day for granted.

Cooper and the Roll

Last Sunday I went to T*rget and when I came home, Cooper had such a lovely and sweet surprise waiting for me. He somehow managed to get a hold of the toilet paper roll and dragged it down the hallway and into the living room. He was so proud of his handy-work and thought I was trying to play when I was really trying to clean up. Here he is admiring his work.

Two Little Boys Hangin' With the Girls

As one of the "Unofficial Social Planners" I thought it would be fun to get a group together and eat pizza and then see the IMAX version of "A Christmas Carol." Holly brought her son Arlen and Heather brought her son Wilson. My sister Brittany and her BFF Ashlin joined me, Tiffy and Frankie with her friend Teresa. We had alot of fun eating and laughing. The movie was really good and poor Wilson fell asleep and missed the ending. Frankie is having a little girl in March and I couldn't resist rubbing her belly. I know I will be her favorite Auntie once she arrives!

Go Panthers!

My parents have tickets to the Panther games, and last week Nathan and I got to go with my Dad and his friend Dennis. We had fun at the game and I realized that I had not been in years! The Panthers lost, but it was still fun.

Teams are Determined

This past weekend, Brittany and I (the co-chairs of the Gingerbread Committe) drew names for the Gingerbread House Contest.

We have Team Gumdrop, Team Candy Cane, Team Elf, Team Peppermint and Team Snowflake.

We helped my Aunt Marcia decorate her house for Christmas. When we arrived bacon was frying-I was definitely in the right spot!
