Thanksgiving

This year I decided to host Thanksgiving because my grandma is getting to tired and it makes her really stressed out and now I know why! First of all I had to clean my house from top to bottom the night before and then I got sick with the worst cold ever! On Thursday I woke up and thought I was going to die because I felt so sick and I had 25 people showing up to my house in 6 hours! So Ty and I got up and put our game faces on and did it anyways. Everything turned out so good and everyone loved the food but by the time we got everything cleaned up and back to normal I was out like a light! It was so good to get to see all the family that only come around once a year and I'm so grateful for all of you!

Naughty Dog!

Tuckie is obsessed with ripping the limbs off of any new toys I buy him! This is the hedgehog with a Santa hat that he got for waiting in the car for me in the Wal-Mart parking lot :) .. What a brat!

The eyes were ripped off within 5 minutes and it took about a half hour before the back was tore open and the squeaker was out!

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Last night I wanted to make some beef stew so I found a good recipe and was really excited about it! Well the recipe calls for 4 cloves of garlic but I didn't know that there are 4 cloves inside 1 button of garlic, so I added 4 whole buttons which equaled 16 cloves of garlic to my stew! I didn't figure out what had gone wrong when I was eating it till my friend Angie was asking about the garlic and then explained the 4 clove 1 button rule! I was so sad and let down so tonight I have decided to try baking something brand new that I have never made before and that happens to be.....PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE!! :)
