Attack of the Pumpkin Pie!

The day after Thanksgiving dad Livingstone was getting something out of the fridge. Reecy and Eric were getting ready to head back home to Vegas. While dad was in the fridge he knocked over a can of pumpkin that had a spoon sticking out of it because mom was too tired to put it away in a container the night she made the pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. Reecy was right next to the fridge and was the lucky winner who got covered!!! She was laughing her head off. What a good sport! It even hit the ceiling, but not dad!

This is for you Ross!

Turkey Day!!!

I started out Turkey Day bright and early to run the 5K Turkey Trot with my sisters Reecy and Mindy. We had great weather and it worked out fabulously since we had TWO turkey dinners, well a lunch and dinner! So yummy!!!

We had Thankmas this year...Christmas at Thanksgiving! All of our family was together for thanksgiving and won't be for Christmas so we had our family gift giving! There are 40 of us when we are all together so we reserve the church and do it over there. The kids loved it! They got their presents from Grandma & Grandpa Livingstone. The girls got webkinz, build-a-bear, and Twilight perifinallia!

This year the Henwoods had our family so they got the older girls shirts and another present that the girls can't open until Christmas or else it would give away one of the gifts they're getting from us!

Berkley got a fun cereal container and some bathtub crayons that she is going to love!

Thank you mom and dad and Henwoods for the gifts. It was so much fun to get together as a family and spend time with eachother! We love you all!

(Yes, Brackon was there! I don't know how he managed to dodge getting his photo taken! Sorry handsome!)

A Little Vaca to St. George

The weekend before Thanksgiving we headed out to visit the family in St. George. We hadn't been out since mom's surgery so we want to visit and give mom an early Christmas present. Since we aren't able to be there all the time we wanted mom to know that we love her and are thinking of her all the time. We wanted her to feel our hugs even when we weren't there so I made her a quilt embroidered with the words 'Autumn Leaves'.

Brackon wrote an earlier post titled 'Autumn Leaves' that talked all about mom and what a special and strong person she is. It was beautiful and we wanted her to remember that so we put it on her blanket.
Of course we couldn't be in St. George and not hit IN-N-OUT! You can NEVER get enough IN-N-OUT!!!! YUMMY!!

We had so much fun visiting with mom and dad and the rest of the family. Just before we left to come home we had mom get in a picture with all the grandbabies! We love our grandma!!!

Berkley's LOVE of Television!

Berkley has discovered TV! Here she stands in the playroom watching one of her favorite shows. As of late she has been glued to the television watching Barbie's Princess and the Pauper. She loves the cats in it. Whenever she wants to watch it she will ask for "muuw."

Nice that I allow her to watch TV 24/7! I'm sure that I will get winner mother of the year!

TWILIGHT!!!

Kennedy and I were enthralled with the Twilight series, like most people were, after reading Twilight! All the women and girls in my family waited on pins and needles once we caught wind that Twilight was being made into a movie! We, of course, all had our opinions on the cast. We were anxious to see how the movie would be and got on line and bought our tickets for the midnight showing when we found out they were available. Kennedy and I, mom, Jeannie, Cassi, Patti, Mindy and Micki all went.

Here we are waiting outside the theater at 10pm!

We were able to sit all together up towards the top of the theater. While we waited we ate lots of popcorn and candy and talked and talked and talked!!!

Here's Cassi, Kennedy and Maddie (Kennedy's friend.)

Me and Kennedy at 2:30am after the movie!
Kenner's won't be very excited about this pic!!

I know that there were mixed reviews about the show, but I LOVED it!!! I can hardly wait to see it again. We'll see if I can drag Brackon to it this time!!!
