Giving Thanks

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We spent the day with the Smith side of the family. Fun was had by all! I'm so thankful for family!

Check it out- I got this award from one of my best friends, Sarah Hrebicek. I guess I'm supposed to tell you 7 things about myself that you may not know, and then nominate 7 people. So here goes:
1. I never left the house without makeup... until my first child. Now I rarely leave the house with makeup!
2. I am afraid of getting my hair cut. I used to cry every time! Now I just wince.
3. I prefer older cars to new cars- new cars drive funny.
4. I secretly pride myself on how much I can eat... sad, I know.
5. I wish I could be more like all the crafty bloggers whose sites I obsess over.
6. As much as I like to think that I am a crafter, I tend to be a craft collector- as in I have all the stuff to craft, but I don't use it nearly as often as I shop for it.
7. Since Brook was born, I have yet to spend a night away from her.

Okay, now for my nominees:
1. Whitney Smith
2. Rachael Smith
3. Jolene Monteath
4. Hailey Frogley
5. Emily Merkley
6. Randi Williamson
7. Meg Capson

But I'm cheating and not doing any of the rest of the requirements! Sorry!

Ellie Rose Douglass

This is all I have for now- taken just a few minutes after Ellie was delivered! She came so fast, it was quite a shock! We were at the hospital less than a half hour before she was born! We are all doing well- I will post more pictures later this week.

Cookies!

I have such a serious sweet tooth right now, that even though I get so tired and don't want to cook, I bake like a maniac! We just had to have some Halloween themed sugar cookies this year, so I whipped up a batch last night, waited for Dad to get home from class and then we decorated!
Excuse my lack of makeup!
Brook took the decorating VERY seriously....
And the taste tests even more serious!
Ben frosted all our pumpkins- he's a professional!
Here's our spread- Happy Halloween One And All!
