Painters "R" Us

This past fall my sister and I were utilized as painters by our Grandparents. We spent 6 or so days painting different rooms in their new home. I was able to get a hold of some random pics. Even with all the work, it was fun. ☺

(Don't mind my "fancy" painting attire, my old scrubs are great as paintin' clothes.)

Buh-bye icky mural!!

Uh oh...someone missed a hole ☺

We were SOOO glad to cover up that "pink".

I was caught makin' graffiti ☺

Christmas ♥

We started out our Christmas at Beepa's house, this was just some of the presents awaiting us all.

It didn't take us long to dig right in, after Dad started playing Santa...

Ohh, the chaos ☺

"I wake up like this!" haha...ok, not really ☺

Everyone seemed to love their handmade gifts this year ♥

 

Mom demonstrating how the elderly might use her new "garden kneel-er thing-a-ma-jig" as a walker.

She was later shocked.....yup, Dad got her an iPad ☺ (She was literally the only one in the room that didn't already know about it, we are good at keepin' secrets.)

Snowmen ☺

She liked it ☺

And thennn...there was the Moose! The brainstorm of some of our family up north, and Grampa made it a reality. They loved it! ☺ Big hit Auntie Liz and Uncle Scott, and Grampa! ♥

I was asked to take a video of my parents finding their moose, so here it is:

Gifts were followed by way too much food, games, talk, and Lots of laughing ☺

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I know I did. A HUGE thank you to Mom, Dad, Beepa, Gramma, Grampa, Kathy, Jason, Cortney, and Jerry!

I ♥ my family!

Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving this year was extra special. I remember holidays as a kid and just how enormous our family get togethers were. The kids table alone would fill up most of my grandparents living room. This year we saw some of that enormity back on Thanksgiving.

Our cousins from out of state were able to make a surprise (only a surprise to some people) trip, loved having them here!! They brought along some extra cuteness! ☺

Yay for long tables again! (Most everyone)

Alot of...passing along....

And what holiday isn't complete without dozens of family photos...

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! ♥
