Life in a twirlie car

Hello friends!

Yesterday, we went to check out a time share. We weren't going to buy it, but just for going we got a two night stay at the Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, TX! It looks AWESOME and even has an indoor water park-SCORE!

After that we headed for Grapevine Mills Mall...which is huge and has 9 million stores and a carousel with a twirlie car! Not a good combo when you've just eaten, I might add. But, fun nevertheless!This morning, we did our usual. Got up and went to garage sales and found nothing, but the doggies enjoyed the outing and I saw this cool sign! Ha!!Hope you have a great weekend! ROLL TIDE!!!

Getting ready

Hello friends!

Anderson and I finished decorating our house yesterday for Christmas. Yes, I'm aware that it is the 16th of November...but we love Christmas and can't get enough of it! We have been listening to Christmas music on Pandora.com .

Anderson loves the Christmas music and he goes around singing his favorite song "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer"..Ha!

This was A's contribution to decorating yesterdaypositioning his "snow horses" in my Christmas village! He cracks me up!

Things that we are looking forward to this holiday season:
1. Classic Christmas music ( I like the 1950's and 60's the best)

2. "It's Christmas, Charlie Brown" ahhhh....LOVE it! Anderson's great aunt, Juke, gave him that book last year. I love reading it to him, it has the push button that make the music that is in the movie. I think you can get it at Hallmark.

3. "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" movie!

4. "It's a Wonderful Life" and "White Christmas" with Bing Crosby(the movie) SO good!!

5. The house looks so nice...I love how the decorations add so much to the house!

I imagine our house looks like this at Christmas...my most favorite house of ALL time!! Click here to see the Home Alone house from Hooked on Houses blog. Do you read her? She's pretty awesome!

Mom will be here on Monday to spend Thanksgiving with us! Woo-Hoo!!!

Pretty funny

I did the Elf Yourself again this year...I love those. When you get to the page make sure you click on select Singing type of Dance...You can watch it here!

Oh yea...and there is a real post below this one. :)

It's beginning to look a lot like....

Hello friends!

Yesterday, it was 82 degrees. We had on shorts and flip flops and were listening to "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and decorating the Christmas tree. Anderson was loving all the Christmas music and we were dancing. Ha! This picture makes me think of New Kids on the Block's song here. Anderson and Annabelle were "helping" me decorate the tree. Anderson's favorite tree so far is our dog tree that Adam decorated. I can't keep him out of the guest bedroom. He keeps trying to get ornaments off and play with them!

Today, I'm working on our Alabama Christmas tree...ROLL TIDE!And then,I will start on Anderson's new Disney tree.

I will post pictures when I'm all done. I know...I know, I'm early, but it's just so fun!

Halloween

Hello friends!

Our zoo in Ft. Worth had a "Boo in the Zoo" this past weekend and it was a lot of fun. It was a lot like a fall carnival with animals thrown in there.
Anderson looked just like he "worked" there! Haha!! He was a zoo keeper. Adam and I dressed up to match Anderson. Sorry, mom...he just wouldn't wear the hat. This was the only pic I could get with him in it. And as you can see...he doesn't like it, at all!In fact, it was quite the feat to get him to put his costume on tonight. I swear, I chased him all around the house and finally tackled him and he shrieked "I'm scared the whole time". Awesome.

We trick or treated with our friends and neighbors. We had a lot of fun(but we missed you Dada...he had to work:(
I think Anderson FINALLY got the hang of the whole trick or treating deal. Although, when I would say to him "what do you say"? He would tell the people "thank you" instead of trick or treat. And then he started feeling super comfortable with the whole idea of it, that when people would open their door...he would help himself to whatever was in there candy bowl.

The kiddos Bekah, Samantha, Anderson, Castin, Danna and Jaycie. They are all getting too big!Justin (Casey's husband) is too crazy!...but easy to spot in the dark!The witch around the corner and boy does she have a loud witchy laugh!Hilarious, Clara pulling Anderson...she's only 4 ft 9!The neighbor's down the street house. Their theme was Pirates of the Carribean! So cool!!Anderson and Castin enjoyed being pulled around too!Hope you had a Happy Halloween too!

Day 4 and 5 at Disney!

Hello friends!

I hate to leave things unfinished and I had not posted all of the Disney pictures yet. So, I'm posting our day at Hollywood Studios and the last day at Magic Kingdom. So fun! I'm already plotting and planning when our next trip will be to Disney World...so sad! What an addict! I guess it's better to be addicted to Disney than anything else! Ha!I wasn't sure if Anderson would even care one thing about meeting characters. Boy, was I wrong....he loved them!This cracked me up so much. We didn't know how much A loved Winnie the Pooh until we rode the ride at Magic Kingdom, but he is in LOVE! He kept asking Winnie the Pooh "what's in your door"? So, Winnie and Anderson knocked on the door and kept trying to open it. Anderson LOVED that so much!!We had breakfast at Chef Mickey's. I HIGHLY recommend this...it was SO much fun!! One day my dream is to stay at the Contemporary Resort...so nice!!Last year, I took this picture of A by this wooden Indian in Frontier Land and think he's grown quite a bit since then. I will take one every time we go(hopefully, every year:) and one day he will tower over this guy!
At Magic Kingdom, we took a little break from the crowds at Tom Sawyer's Island and explored the cave and let the kiddos play on the playground there. They loved it!
Had to add this picture in...look at Adam's face on Splash Mountain! Haha!!Did we have a magical time? The answer will always be YES!!!
