Happy Valentines Week

For the past several years I have been wanting to have a Valentines Party.

Well I finally came out of my comfort zone and did it.

I wish I would have taken more pictures.

 The men had a little to much fun putting on their nylons. 

The women had to guess which husbands leg was theirs. Some put a few

candies and carrots in the nylon to try to fool them.

 Here's to a Romantic Week.

Good luck ladies!

While Eric was away on business in Vegas, I decided to do a few

things I had been wanting to do. My friend Shelly gave me these cute

candles for Christmas and I decided to paint palm trees on them.

Then it was on to the bathroom. My house is really turning into my own

personal beach since I can't live near one. It was just my bedroom, but now

the whole house is pretty much beach themed. I am having fun with it though.

Devin has promised me when he is rich he will buy me a beach house.

Eric told me that once too, but I haven't moved into one yet.

Until then I will just have to settle.

The Mitchell gang went to Laguna Beach. It was a nice 70 degree day.

 Our wonderful host and hostess. We love them so much.

 I have many more where this came from.

 Off to Mimi and Poppies for Christmas Day.

It was such a great Christmas Season. I am so sad it is all over, but feel so blessed to be able to have spent such great times with family and friends. We made so many more wonderful memories.

Allison's Baptism

 December 17, 2011
Allison Schoffner was baptised.
Allie is Trevor's girlfriend.

 Thank you for sharing your special day with us Allie.

 Jannica is her to visit! We did a little baking today.

Tomorrow is Allie's baptism, so we are having a little get together at our home afterwards.

 Off to the Burton's for some fun times.

Rocklin is a fun place to be at Christmas time. We have a neighborhood that 

almost every house is decorated in some kind of Disney theme.

Tonight we had a bonfire and BBQ.

 Even Santa roasted marshmellows.

 We were even on the channel 13 news.

This is Hal and Audrey's neighbors light display this year.

Every year we can't wait to see what they come up with.

EXHAUSTED! FROM LACK OF SLEEP DUE TO MY MIND NOT SHUTTING DOWN AT NIGHT. I AM IN CHARGE OF THE WARD CHRISTMAS PARTY AND IT WILL BE OVER ON SATURDAY. ...... I LOOK FORWARD TO SLEEP.
