Mrs. Fields Cookies
I am ready for my very fancy cookie exchange party this afternoon, where it really doesn't matter what is inside the bag, as long as they are packaged cute.
Trust me I've learned this the hard way.
FYI-Zip lock bags are not cute, however they are the most practical.
Thank You Great Grandma Grace
For our birthday money so we could go to the toy store today and purchase our gifts! Your the best Great Grandma ever.

Monday
It is the most wonderful time of the year...
Oh yes, the big jolly guy himself came early this year.
True Story.
As I was sitting in my living room looking at the tree I noticed a present under it in the back. Thinking this was a present we forgot to open for Emmit.
It was in Christmas wrapping.
So with Emmit in his crib for a nice winter's nap ( OK he was crying at the top of his lungs, but he has a gate in his room so he can't get out) I went ahead and opened up the package.
Holy SH*T were my exact words.
There she was, what I've been wanting to buy myself for at least two years.
A Canon EOS Rebel T1i Camera.
I have a lot to learn about this new relationship with my camera and I am MORE then excited to begin a new digital journey with her.
So thank you Santa, clearly I've been a good girl this year and feel VERY loved by the big guy and his Miss.
P.S. Thanks Mom and Dad
Sunday
Party Time
We celebrated Emmit's 2nd birthday with a few of our friends and family last night. Boy was a good time had by all, some more then others (dad) but I will not mention any names.
Ok, I know that was a lot of football heads to look at.
Thanks to all who made the trip North and for those that just traveled over 41st street hill to come to Emmit's birthday celebration. Emmit for sure was surrounded by love!
