Freeze Frame!

Today Emily & I went to the mall to meet Michelle & Laura for our picture. We had it taken to give to Jim's parents and Grandma for Christmas.

We had fun playing and then we went to McDonalds for lunch.

Disney on Ice ~ Princess Wishes

We took Emily to see Disney on Ice ~ Princess Wishes.

She had such a good time. She got to see ALL the Princesses...Ariel, Belle, Jasmin, Mulan, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty & Cinderella. Even Mickey, Minnie, Goofy & Tinkerbell were there!

Everytime a new Princess came out Emily got all excited and started calling their name! What a fun time we all had!

On Thanksgiving Day, all over America, families sit down to dinner at the same moment - halftime.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Today, we all went up to Michelle & Tony's to celebrate Thanksgiving. As usual, Michelle had a full house! In addition to Michelle, Tony, Laura, Jim, Emily & I, there was my parents, Jim's parents, Tony's brother Gary and his daughter Leigh.

There was great food and conversation.

We all had such a wonderful time...despite an ice storm that snuck up on us!

But, thankfully, we all made it home safely.

Fountains of Wayne Caverns

Today we took Emily to see the Christmas Caverns. Jim & I love going and it was special to take Emily too. It was nice to see all the beautiful decorations and displays. We all had a nice time!

The Christmas Caverns are animated displays decorated for Christmas. I had been going since I was a kid. When Jim & I started dating, we kept going. I can't think of too many years that I missed seeing the beautiful decorations.

There used to be two of them, but unfortuntely one flooded and never recovered. They are actually trying to sell the building that it was in.

One of the stores is Fountains of Wayne. It is "the" store that the group Fountains of Wayne, known for the song Stacy's Mom, named themselves after.

There was also a scene in an episode of the HBO hit series, The Soprano's shot here.

Open Up your heart and let the FunShine in!

Today we took Emily to the mall to meet a Care Bear, Cheer Bear!

Emily just loves the Care Bears and did so good. Actually, she was petting the Care Bear. She sat like a good girl and had the picture taken!
