We've had quite the fun-filled busy weekend cooking and playing cards
and shopping at 3am on Black Friday!
and shopping at 3am on Black Friday!
Here's a few other things that went down:
1. Coolest Mom Ever Award.
Let me start off with a mini story...
I went to Foothill High School and our mascot: the Falcons
I was also in Student Council and one year for an assembly
we had to make "Falcon Pants".
we had to make "Falcon Pants".
I took some old jeans, cut them into capri's,
& glued felt feathers all over them.
Now the reason for that mini story...

Now the reason for that mini story...
So I get this e-mail from my mom last week & here's how the conversation went:
Mom: Hey, do you still have those Falcon pants from high school?
Me: Yeah.... why? (mind you, I've been out of high school for 6 years now)
Mom: Oh because they're having a Turkey/Pilgrim dress up
contest at work and I wanted to wear them!
Me: Brilliant. I'll see if I can find them.
Annnnnnd brilliant it was!
Here is the picture text I got from my mom that next morning...
She totally made the wings and the beak to complete the ensemble!
Hilarious. Coolest mom award for sure.
And PS.... she totally won.
2. 12k Turkey Trot
So I signed Grant & I up for a Turkey Trot Thanksgiving morning
just so I could eat extra pumpkin pie.
Annnnd I signed Grant up so that I could have a
running buddy... and who better for that job than my hubby?!
The race was through the 6 Tunnels by Lake Mead &
talk.about.freeeeeezing.
29 degrees to be exact. thankyouverymuch.
I literally had 4 layers of pants on...
it wasn't until the 2nd mile of the race that
I realized I wanted to friggin rip them off.
NOTE TO SELF:
Appppparently your body heats up A.LOT.
when you're running outside in the cold.
Here's a few pictures of the event:

One thing to note about this picture...
Candice (girl in blue) isn't wearing a bib #
She decided to jump in the race last minute
& just run it for fun.
It was hilarious watching her squeak past
the start line without a bib #
and then RIGHT at the end she ran off the trail
just before the finish line!
I love that girl. Too funny.
We got some pretty sweet metals for this race too...
How cute is this bad boy??
It even has a hole in the center of the tunnel.
Love it.
3. Cranberry Delight
So I totally wanted to contribute to our thanksgiving feast
so I made this special homemade cranberry sauce
when we had Thanksgiving with my mom.
It was so colorful I decided to share:
Now this isn't just your normal cranberry sauce...
It has fresh cranberries, sugar, orange rind,
and red wine. The alcohol cooks down
when you cook it- and everything together
tastes yummmmm.
4. Kitty Love
So the kitties are doing amazing...
Still as cute as ever.
