Thanksgiving, as seen by my iPhone

We had a very fun and relaxing Thanksgiving ~ The kids and I went t the zoo the day before
with Stella and her kids, plus Kelly's friend Bailey.
We watched the lemurs eat their Feast for the Beast and checked out the reindeer

and when we came home, with Paige's help, I made the Pumpkin Pies, Poppyseed Cake, the Sweet Potato Pie and helped watched Mike make fresh Cranberry Sauce.

On Thanksgiving Day, Mike made two 20 lb Turkeys that he had brined -- BBQed one, stuffed them both with his mom's Stuffing and did the Mashed Potatoes, Gravy and Spinach Souffle.

I did remember to take a few pictures with my 'real' camera (I'll post later), but since there were 4 of us with new iPhones, we were all taking pictures with them and sharing them with each other --

The 'big girls' helped the little ones make Thankful Cards and Hand Turkeys ~

The BBQed bird came out really pretty!

and then there was Football

Robyn Anne Aissa

As we mark the 5th anniversary of her death, we are reminded of the joy she had for life.
We miss her laughter daily and are filled with happiness when we see her face in her grandchildren.
She is loved and missed by all of us who knew her.

miss you every day {linky} WW

poor baby

Everyone has been sick.
DJ and Kelly both stayed home from school this week and I brought Mikey in to the doctors because he was a bit wheezy.
He is still not feeling well. High fever and crying. All he wants is for me to hold him. And cry. And sleep.
Did I say he was crying?

So, since I CAN type with one hand while holding him... even though it takes me forever, I am not really able to answer emails or comment on blogs without waking him -- I am able to post a cute picture of him from a year ago!

cupcakes galore

I did not make Mikey's cake for his birthday this year. We got him a Costco cake and wrote "gimme two" on it --
His middle name is Utah
From Point Break...
"Utah, gimme two"
and he turned two this year...
It was good. And then we just got him one of those individual cakes from Safeway with the little train on it for him to destroy on his actual birthday.

I did make Mike's cake for his 40th. I burnt one of the layers...
It was fine.
Not a fan of people using my baking pans for MEAT around here!
ugh
(I need to get new cookie sheets too)
The kids Mike frosted it and the kids decorated it. It looked awful, but tasted pretty yummy ~
daddy got a crockpot

The weekend before her birthday, Paige had a couple of friends over for a sleepover and they went to the House of Air
She requested Red Velvet Cupcakes and TEAL frosting --

I guess they were good.
I didn't even have one, the girls ate them ALL

I also made some for the next day -- we had friends come over, and we sang her Happy Birthday again!

THEN
I made cupcakes for Kelly's Halloween Carnival at school!

(she wore Paige's old Mummy Costume, because they can't have their faces painted at school or in masks)

I saw these Mummy Cupcakes online and couldn't wait
to make them! I made 48 -- they are super easy
to frost when you have a bunch to do.

but of course, I needed to make some of those cute mini cupcakes...
(the candy corn was Mike's idea)

Oh, I am D.O.N.E.

(for now)
