What Are You Thankful For?

Thanksgiving 2010 happened to be the best of all because...

I am thankful for becoming an Aunt to this lovely couple child:I hope and pray that Brett will follow the DO's that are in this book:

Thank the Lord I have these beauties to look up too:

I am proud to say that I am the only cool one out of this bunch:



Uncle Bob... I will not drink your martini:
(Not this time at least.)

Oh.. My family is just a great bunch! :)

I am SO thankful for them!

Love you all!

Minnesota Friends

Too many fun events.. One at a time. Let's start with the weekend before Thanksgiving.

I was gladly invited by my Etzel family to come over to see my favorite Minnesota family for the day on Saturday.

My day had started with chatting with Kristin&Emily while Ollie was napping and the guys doing guy things.

My Bud: After nap-time, play-time! Kristin & Emily went shopping with my mother while they left me in charge of Oliver, Brett and Corey.

Presents from Auntie LiLi:

The best of friends exchange Christmas presents.
Soon-Mommy-To-Be and Soon-Auntie-To-Be reading her "Friends" book from Em:

What a great day&night I had with my lovely Etzel and Brecht families!

I don't know what I'd do without these two families who light up my life.

Love you both! xoxo :)

November Already?!

Oh Boy! Is it really November already?! Well that's okay because lots is going on. (Including my Sweet 16 birthday in 4 months! :) I'm not that excited at all. Mom left for a short vacation with her good friend and will be back on Wednesday. One more full week of school, two days next week then, turkey break! School is slowly getting better. No new issues, but as I gather this weekend with the Etzels and Brechts I'm looking foward to a good night! For knowing my sister as good as I do and knowing Emily for a very long time and since Christmas is only 38 days, I'm guessing I will be hearing some Christmas music in the Etzel household? Oh..boy, but I think I'm used to it by now.
