Bar time

Finally, after all the eating a few crazies wanted to go find some open bars Thursday night. I took them to downtown Encinitas and found a few open bars. We had a few drinks and played some pool. I lost every game, but I still had fun.

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day finally came and after cooking all day Wednesday I was finally ready for the onset of 30 of our closest family, friends and whoever wanted to eat with us. The morning started off with mimosas, shots of Yegarmister, then the delicious food. Everyone enjoys the food so much no one ate any of the pies until the next day. The favorite pie hands down had to be the German Chocolate Pecan Pie, recipe will be on my other blog soon.

Brother came to California

My brother Freddie came for Thanksgiving week. He moved to Las Vegas a few months ago and was not going home to Maine, so I invited him to come stay with us. I don't know him very well so this was a nice chance for my family to get to know him. Everyone really liked him and are looking forward to him coming out at Christmas.

Wyatt and Freddie have the same love of hats so naturally while in Seaport Village both of them had to buy a new hat. They look pretty cool.

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. I have been very busy this week, lots of company coming to visit. I have been cooking and baking a bunch. This year I am making a Tofurkey It takes 3 1/2 hours to cook it is crazy, but my vegans will be very happy. I will be posting lots of pictures and information soon. Have a wonderful and safe day.

Christmas Tag Class

Last night Gloria, Melanie and myself drove up to Irvine to a class run by Nora Griffin. We had such a good time she had all these sure cute kits made for us and we sat their for 2 1/2 hours making Christmas tags. I ended up with 25 complete tags and several items left to make more tags. They were super easy and a lot of fun to make.

New Blogspot

I decided that I don't have enough craziness in my life so I started a new blog site. It will be about great food and craft projects for kids or photography anything From the Heart, the name of my blog. You can click on blogs that I follow and get right to it. This Lemon Pecan Pie is my first post on it, this is a great pie.

Cutest Camp Project

I don't usually put much on my blog about my class but I had to put these ugly dolls we made this week during break camp. They were such a hit! Most of the kids had never sewn before, the boys especially liked making them. Each kid drew their own creature then I cut out both pieces of the felt, then we began to sew, some kids needing a lot more help than others. A few more were made and taken home, I hope to get a picture of them as well. I edited my pictures and added the others, they are so cute!
