More Dolly Pics

There was a time, that my parents left this doll out all the time, in a little kids rocking chair, up in their TV room. EVERY SINGLE time I walk into that room, the doll would freak me out. Look at the size of its head!

Doll

Bailey lets me take funny pictures of her. Mom, this is the creepiest doll EVER.

Happy Thanksgiving

Although the day was dreary and the kids didn't make it for dinner. Stephen wasn't feeling well and joined us at my folks late in the evening. Emma had plans to go out with Stephenie for some hot Black Friday deals. The food was AWESOME, everyone seemed to enjoy the sweet potato casserole with carmel cayenne glazed pecans. MMMMMMmmmmm.

Smashing Success

The first few blows chipped the glass, then a crack, then the above.

Check out the thickness of the glass! It's about three-fourths of an inch thick.

Then Emma went to work on the back, I had to call it at that point. Hitting a capacitor on a TV this size, even with the TV off, might have been a shocking revelation! Safety first.

Thanks To The Kids

To all that attended, both young, and "grown": thanks for coming out, following instructions, and remaining safe! Hope you all had fun!

Emma's 12th

Emma's Birthday Party was a smashing success! Thanks to little touches like the cake Oma and Opa had made using the picture from Emma's invitation. The best thing about it... no leftovers.

Special thanks to my Mother for the delicious Pumpkin Cheesecake. Bailey and Emma made a smoothly out of the last two pieces. I secretly wanted to eat all of the leftovers.

Almost Alone

Almost alone at the bowling ally.
