I love Andes Mint baking chips by the way. I bought 6 packages last time I was at wal-mart (the only place I consistantly find them) I went to a cookie exchange party and I made 13 dozen of these cookies. Too bad I didn't get more pictures. I came home with 13 dozen different cookies and candies. We were going to give them out to friends and neighbors, but we only gave one big bag away and the kids and I ate all 10 dozed of the rest. I gained 7 lbs this month. YIKES!!!!!

First treat of the Christmas season. I bought a few disposable pans and there was a picture of a snowman cake on the packaging. Taylor was convinced there was to be a snowman cake no matter how many times I told him I was putting lasagna in it. Finally I whipped together a cake and some frosting and then left the project to Josh to finish with the boys while I was at Young Women's. This is how it turned out.

Whitney & Mandy, Sharon, Kelly, Sara, and Melinda I went to the Harry Potter opening, midnight show and some of my friends dressed up. People were coming up to them and taking pictures like they were characters at Disneyland. I didn't dress up, so I got to be the photographer. We actually got kicked out to take pictures; it's against the rules to take pictures anywhere in the building. But the officer totally stole a few camera phone shots of his own before we got kicked out.

This year we were able to go to Josh's brother Dan's house for Thanksgiving. Michelle had an awesome menu planned. Ohhh so good. We felt bad because Michelle was really sick the day before Thanksgiving, but somehow managed to be ready for us anyway. Thank you so much Michelle!!!

Caleb loved Karate this fall. He loved to be the best. During the mock tournaments he almost always won. To advance belts, among other requirements, you have to compete in a tournament. He wasn't able to compete in a real tournament because it was while Iverson's were visiting and we were in Corpus and the other tournament was on a Sunday. Caleb and I talked about it for a long time and Caleb decided that he would just wait until next year to advance belts. After the last class was over, Caleb went up to the instructor and said "Thank you. Oh, and if you keep having tournaments on Sunday (insert tears) I will never be able to advance." The instructor took pity on him and he counted the karate workshop he attended and then tested him on the spot. And for just $25 he got a yellow belt. hmmm. Anyway, he was very excited. We took all of these pictures when he got home that night.

Spending some time at Grandma Chardan and Grandpa Bruce's place

This big Spider hung out on our patio just after Halloween for about a week. It would spin a new web every night in a different location in our yard. We call bugs in our backyard patio pets so Taylor doesn't feel the need to squish them all. So every morning he would look for this big "patio pet" to see if she was still there.
