Bargain Hunters

"Listen closely Jillian".. "I don't get gifts from the Goblin under my tree.. you need to go over there to Santa and tell him I want a Diamond.. a BIG diamond for Christmas. He can leave it under my menorah. Thanks"..
Sofia and Jillian had their 1st Black Friday experience.. not so bad! Keep in mind that a busy day at my mall is a slow day at your mall..

Happy Thanksgiving..

Poor Baby Hannah wasn't feeling well all day.. COME BACK AGAIN SOON.. SOFIA WANTS TO PLAY!!!!
STOP taking my picture already!!!
Hannah looks like a new cast member of Strawberry Shortcake.. there's Apple Dumpling, Lemon Meringue and now Hannah Banana..!
Jake fell asleep in Sofia's room on her chair.. at least someone did! If I found Sofia asleep in this chair I would have to call 911.. the kid never sleeps..
The weather was so yucky, but Sofia, Max and their coach found time for some ball
Sofia is trying to explain to Max that deer droppings are all over the place b/c her daddy scares the poop out of them when he shoots his arrow.. Max will never play outside at my house again!

Oren gave his pinky some much needed rest while Andy took some not needed rest..
Uncle Jerry joined us for Thanksgiving.. too bad it was soooo cold. He's not used to it and said he isn't showering until he gets back to Florida..
Cutie Patootie

Sofia made some stuffing muffins in the morning.. she was such a big help
Sofia couldn't wait to show Max her new boots and Power Rangers PJ's

Play"date"

Sofia brought Matthew into the kitchen and said "we're getting married"... I said "who's idea was this?"... Matthew said (with fear in his eyes) "not mine"... as Sofia danced him away into the other room.

Yummy pre-show treats.. Hot cocoa and Christmas donuts.. delish!

Tick Tock-- Tick Tock

Uncle Gary comes to town

Sofia made brownies for Uncle Gary.. About 90% made it into the oven..
Sofia LOVED Storm (dog).. she wouldn't touch him, feed him, play with him or let him out of the car.. but loved him, none-the-less

Please invite us back again...

It was similar to when an old lady in Rome found Jesus in her casserole dish-- Sofia found a "Goblin" in her calamari.. hat and all..
What a great couple.. Dopey and Happy!
Did we have fun? What do you think.. (good burger)..
Drunk & Drunker..

Sofia's new super-duper stopwatch!

I timed Sofia going up and down the rocks-- only problem was that she had to sing 'Humpty Dumpty' every time she got to the top so I don't have an accurate reading..
The new watch came with a whistle.. what a great sound it makes (aspirin anyone?)
Sofia timed herself running to the far tree.. 29 seconds!
Practice...

Sofia and the girls (no, we didn't gain another cousin, that is Valerie's friend to the left)

Help me!
Danny helped Sofia up the ladder.. when she got to the top she said "I am faster than you, I am faster than everybody"..
