My Nap, AKA My Turkey Induced Coma

Here it is...my nap. Yes, that would be my foot laying across my husband on my Mom's couch. Buried beneath a pile of dogs. {I guess this might be what they call a "dog pile".} My brother took some great shots of my dogs snuggling up with me on the couch after the awesome and massive thanksgiving dinner that we ate on Friday! And it was sooooo worth it!

Evidence that it is indeed me-minus the glasses. It was very comfy. Sorry about leaving you with the dishes, Mom...Happy After-Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving greetings from Bryan & Elizabeth. I couldn't have said it better myself. Have a great holiday!

{At least her brothers made the list ahead of the dogs.}

Thankful-Nov 24

I am thankful for any and all chances to take a nap and relax.

Happy Wednesday! May everyone have an opportunity to rest and relax before Turkey day!

Thankful-Nov 23

Thankful that one of my kids enjoys playing an instrument. And he goes to his lessons. and he is doing really well. I hope he sticks with it.

Bryan is pretty excited that he gets to borrow a new school trumpet :)

Happy Tuesday!

Thankful-November 22

Thankful for my husband and all that he does for us everyday.
The love is overflowing in our house this time of year. My husband wrote this on the sliding door on Friday morning when I was leaving for work. I asked him to take a photo for me. (He is so sweet :)

I found this heart-shape in the mudroom just a couple days before that. I ran to take a photo!

I would be really thankful if the Bears could win tonight.

We shall see....

Happy Monday!

Scraplift-November

Scraplift: Ali Edwards from page 91 of Creating Keepsakes. I happened to have the divided 12x12 protector because it was on the supply list for her Yesterday an Today class. I already had the "August" month brush and the "today" journaling card from Ali Edwards for designerdigitals.com.

I was sort of a scrapbooking maniac Friday night and Saturday. It was quiet and I actually got the computer without anyone else asking me to use it. It was very relaxing and fun.

The journaling is written in list form and reads:

1. A family tradition. Every year we play golf for Jakey's birthday. Every year Butch wins. Every single year. 2. This year I joined a league at work. I played several times (maybe 6) over the course of the summer. He still kicked my ass. But my putts were better this year :) 3. We have fun anyway. 4. Every year our photos get better. 5. I LOVE spending time with my brother and sister. 6. I love celebrating Jake's birthday every year. 7. Sometimes we let people play through. 8. I hate the dog leg on the 8th hole. 9. I love playing for 9 holes. 18 holes....not so much. 10. Every year we get sunburned. 11. We started driving together a couple of years ago. 12. We all play a pretty close game...except for Butch...who always wins. 13. I can't think of any other way that I would like to spend a Saturday in August!

This page was super easy to put together. I used photos that were sitting on my kitchen table that I had gotten from Mom, and only printed out one other photo. Have a great day-Happy Scrapping!

I am so thankful for all of the people who made me and my husband and children who they are today. Thank you for making the choices you made. Happy Friday-have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Happy Birthday, Mom! I loaded the photos backwards because I was in a hurry to load them before work. Haste makes waste...

Anyway-I love you Mom! Hope you have a great day. I had a great weekend-wish we could have stayed longer. Happy Tuesday!
