SNOW!

It started snowing yesterday, and we woke up tonight with LOTS!
(ok, well, not LOTS but maybe 2-3 inches. lol)

Emma wanted to go out and play in it (yes, I am a HORRIBLE mother who hasn't even bought her snow pants and stuff yet! I didn't think I would see snow until later this month!) I bundled her up into her old clothes, pajama pants, sweats, and old jeans. I also made her wear last years coat lol.
Here are some pics!


All bundled up!!

Smiling for the cam!


Running, and making snowprint paths




Playing with her uncle!

It was such a blessing to receive snow! We have been hoping for it!!
Hopefully it will snow some more tonight so she can wake up to another winter wonderland!

Here are two short videos:

She got it while we were at Disney.

We had a great thanksgiving, and LOTS to be thankful for. I can't wait til Monday, because it is back to life. We have had one lazy weekend, and I am itching to get out of the house! I have been working on xmas cards, and hope to mail them out tomorrow... I also have to go to Lexington so I can get a new Missouri license plate.

Today in Lexington

We had lunch at The Victorian Peddler...
(this is showing the opposite side of the street lol Me and Alex went to that Riley's pub for lunch) I tried hunting a pic down of the Victorian Peddler Tea Room Restaurant, but I couldn't find one.

I wanted to take my camera but I was already almost there when I remembered that I left it at home.

I had a grilled chicken breast on marble rye (open faced sandwich) avocado slices, tomato slices, and American Swiss.

It was amazing

Cant Sleep.

And this is partly whats on my mind.

Not the song... but what lies underneath of course.


We were both young when I first saw you
I closed my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, please don't go
And I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes
So, I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
Oh oh
Cause you were Romeo, I was the scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
But you were my everything to me
I was begging you, please don't go
And I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes
Romeo, save me
They try to tell me how I feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes
Oh oh
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said
Romeo, save me
I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head
I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said
Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad
Go pick out a white dress
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

Ohhh Yes.

I am so stoked. Gap sent me a 20% off coupon for being a card holder, so I went online shopping tonight, and spent like 200 and something dollars on clothes and coats for Emma. Well... little did I know If you use your gap cc you get an ADDITIONAL 20% off!

So I got 40 percent off!!! My total was like 140 dollars!!! I am so happy!!

Here is what I got her!















I just love the outfit I got her!! I want to get some cute navy converse shoes to wear with it! Plus her pearls that she loves wearing will go soooo nicely with this outfit! :)

I'm happy lol

Xmas Shopping!!

Here is a list of the people I am completely done shopping for!!

• Andrew
• Alexa
• My dad

And the people who I am ALMOST finished with:

• My Mom (me and my sister are buying the gift together, I picked it out, all I need is the ok with her tomorrow, and then I can just buy it!
• My sister- I have to pick up her gift. I know what I am getting her, I just need to get it.
• Alex- I got two gifts already, I am not sure If I am done or not.
• Emma- I have gotten her alot already but of course still have TONS more to get so shes my main concern at this point lol

This year has been by far the Less stressed Xmas season. I have tried to get things early on, that way its not such a huge hit during December. lol

I can't wait til Christmas morning!

Sad.

My grandfather's brother died lastnight :(

I am not sure if my grandfather, aunt, and cousin will be coming for thanksgiving, becuase I think they are going to plan the funeral to be on Wednesday. My older sister has been MIA the past week, so who knows if she is coming.

If they all don't come it will be me, my parents, Andrew, Lexi, Emma, and Amanda. John is flying in the day after, so we still have alot of people, but 8 people might not show up :(

We will see. I hope that everyone still gets to come, my grandfather especially.

LLLLLLove her.

Lauren's looks. I love all of them. I really want to try wearing this one sometime.


I have watched every single video shes ever put out. If you haven't seen her yet, check out her youtube channel!
