this was suppose to be a relaxing weekend......

Thanksgiving Day.....
(Nov 27, 2008)

We were all well rested and when i woke i made a batch of blueberry pancakes & eggs. Some stuck together so i made cyclops snowman pancakes. That was a Cameron Pearl request. While making the pancakes Cameron found the worlds biggest blueberry. It took over her face.
then on to the yummy breakfast.
The girls then made Kevin pretty.
Then for whatever reason Cameron got upset. I think she is sick of getting her pictures taken. Little does she know that the day is early for me and my special camera friend....
After breakfast we were all so full that i decided that we needed a 30 min. break and rest. So while i did that Kevin cleaned up the huge mess that cameron spilled all over the kitchen floor.
I tried to get some cute ones of Emery and i but that didn't work out. After i was out of the picture literally she kind of warmed up to the camera After the girls made there beds Kevin and i surprised them with some thanksgiving day dresses.
After my 30 min. rest I went back into the kitchen to finish up the cake i started the day before. This cake is turning out to be a pain! But I had high hopes for the best cake in the world. (keep in mind when i finished the baking part the day before i was on my 3rd hour of making this cake.) So the ingredients called for mixing the egg whites and sugar in a double boiler. I read it to mix egg whites, sugar and butter. So i thought i was going to have to start all over. Kevin and Emery came to the rescue. while cameron continued decorating for the holiday!
So all together the cake took 6 hours!!!!! but it was so worth it! ,
We were having Thanksgiving with the Keo's. They said to be there by 4p and we actually made it there on time. AMAZING! I did arts and crafts with all the kids while everyone finished the feast! When it was time to eat; kevin made a Tola sized plate for himself. But when Emery saw the turkey leg she swiped it and really went to town. I guess she is not exactly like me... hahaa After the kiddos played for a bit and Akython beat Ryu with the paper towel holder Sochann put the Polar Express on for everyone.
Leila fell asleep.
That night i slept at the Keo's so I could go to Walmart for Black Friday at 2a and stalk the $88 jeep. So Lexie, Leila, Ame and I hung out at Walmart from 230-7a and it was crazy!

Friday morning we invited our family over for breakfast. Nana, Jason, Grandma Lynette, Amy and Mindy were able to make it. I still hadn't slept so I was on a no sleep high acting all crazy. Kevin made breakfast while I entertained. HAHAHA
I took some cute pictures of Amy and Mindy (kevin's little sisters)
finally Mindy looked normal..... hahaa

After I napped for a bit we went to dinner at the Tuckers. Cameron wanted to have a play date with a little girl from her school (Isabella). So Kevin and her dad Scott made arrangements so we could meet and check each other out. We had allot of fun with them. We had fish tacos and our yummy cake. The kids all played really good together. Scott and Gloria are caring for there neighbors chickens so after dinner he took us over there so feed them and collect the eggs



That night uncle jason slept over so he could help kevin bring wood up to out land in Wyoming.

In the morning we had french toast.
Right after breakfast Emery and I went to Erik Elgans 5th birthday party. Cameron went with the boys to Wyoming. We had fun at the birthday party. They played bingo, pin the flag on the board thing, pop balloon race and ate yummy puck cakes.

After the party Emery and I went to Lakeshore learning center for the Saturday craft. Making a family tree. I was more into it then Emery. After we went and played at the Wagners house. Came home by 430p and Nana took Emery out shopping for Xmas. They had lots of fun!. They got back home around the same time as Cameron and the boys. I made cafe rio burrito and salads for everyone. Cameron and Emery kept telling secrets to everyone.

Cameron played dead. The girls passed out fast and Kevin and I watched a movie.

November 30th

Sunday morning I had to run to the store and get paper cupcake holders. Kevin took Emery to help at Nana's and Cameron and I made 2 batch's of cupcakes for her birthday tomorrow! We had fun!
I cant believe I have a 6 yr old!
When Emery, Nina and Kevin got home we went downtown to Memory Grove take Christmas pictures of the Keo family. We got some fun ones of the kids


By the time we got home we were all super tired. But the night was still young for Kevin and I. The Chocolate cupcakes i made... Nina ate all but 4 of them. UGH!! I guess I left them to close to the edge of the counter. I was so irritated! But we got to stay up to make another batch and frost them...!!! BLAHHHH
