P-Town Light show

I just took Lilly and Sophia to see the rockin' light show we discovered a few blocks away. I got some pretty good video but it's better in person. It's crazy because you just turn your radio to 99.9 and the lights go along with the music.

It's pretty good. It definitely made our cute little house look pretty dismal. Here's a few pics from the last week. For FHE we made our own Jaredite barges with things that we build our foundation on. I thought they turned out pretty good.We also had a fabulous Thanksgiving. Lilly enjoyed the Sweet Potatoes. We were able to celebrate Lilly's birthday with the Wilkins'. Brian and Katie gave her this baby and she immediately fell in love with it. I couldn't believe that she immediately figured out how to feed the baby it's bottle. This little girl never ceases to amaze me.

After a fun morning shopping at IKEA and Cabella's for Black Friday we headed down to Wales with some good friends in our ward. The girls had a great time wearing each other out. We had a lot of fun and it was relaxing and nice to get away!

You Don't Know me but I'm Famous...

Okay so I really should be doing a post dedicated to my sweet husband on this day where we are celebrating 5 years of wedding bliss. If you want to read a post like that, go here. Instead, I've decided to write about a fun thing I did last week. If you want to read more about that, go here. That's right, my cooking has made me famous. I haven't seen the print version yet but they took plenty of pictures of me cooking last week so if you're bored and have a copy of the Daily Herald lying around, check it out. The rolls truly are delicious. Thanks again mom and grandma for the fabulous recipe!

Accomplishments

We had a great weekend and a great week last week. Our first big accomplishment is that Sophia has finally decided she can go potty in the potty. She did so great last week and today is her first day in Dora panties. We've been telling her it hurts Dora if she goes potty on her so here's hoping for no accidents. We are so proud of her and can't believe how fast she's growing up. Her little friend Will asks her if she still wears diapers everytime he sees her and so we figured it was time so that she wouldn't have to face any more embarassment or to continue to dissapoint Will. Another accomplishment we experienced this week is that Doug made a 5 pound burger. After hearing about this big burger on the Rachel Ray show he decided he had to go for something big. We made this for the big dissapointing football game this season. It was really fun.

Finally, we made these cutest turkey's at Activity Days last week. It was so fun! The girls did a great job. We hope you all have a great Turkey Day and have fun eating lots of food!P.S. Happy Anniversary tomorrow Dougie! I love you!

Projects!

Okay, so as usual, I've taken on way too much and this Christmas is no exception. I've been working on many projects and have finally got a few of them completed (most of the way). The first is family stockings. I've always wanted family stockings and thanks to Martha, Erin, and felt, I found these cute patters and have decided to make them. So far I only have Sophia and Doug's completed. I thought they turned out pretty cute. The pinecones were a pain to make and Martha's website definitely does not provide good or clear instructions.
I also decided this year to make Sophia a quiet book. Don't ask me why. It took way longer than I thought and it was a total pain. Some of the pages turned out okay and I think she'll like it. When all was said and done though, I should have just forked out the $30 bucks and bought the cute one I saw at Quilted Bear. Lissa, I know you said you wanted one for Josh but it really was more of a pain than I thought and Liza said she has a bunch she's willing to send you.

Finally, here's what I did with the Christmas vinyl I got from that warehouse sale. The board turned out a little darker than I'd expected and so I had to outline the smaller words. I think it still turned out okay.
