Mom of the Year

This morning I had to call 911.

Terence went into work early for a meeting this morning.  I was the only one home.

I put Connor in his car seat and then turned on the engine to heat up the car.  I ran back into the house for something I had forgotten and came back out only to realize all the doors were locked!

We don’t have a spare key.

I was freaking out…..my only option was to have the fire dept come out and open the car. 

20 minutes later they arrived and rescued me.  Connor was fine and even gave the firemen a high five.

Embarrassing…..geesh.  This has NOT been a great week for me :/

Thank you nice firemen for rescuing us!!!!

Holiday Party Gals

Last night Kindra and I went to a Christmas shopping dinner with our office. It was a ton of fun and OMG the food was soooooooooooo good! There were some really fun things there…. I think I ate my weight at the dessert bar!  We were all saying how much we love party food, I better watch it or I’ll start looking like Santa with a belly full of jelly :/ 

We had a great time, here are some pictures Kindra took last night :

Kindra and I with our “White Russians”
They also served peppermint martinis, chocolate mint martinis, and candy cane punch!
My desserts…nobody touch my plate or I’ll get you!!!!
Cheers!
The ice sculptures were SO beautiful too!
I love Christmas parties! Yay!  This is why it’s my favorite time of year 🙂

We had a great Thanksgiving with Terence’s family.  I didn’t take a whole lot of pictures because I was too busy eating gorging and visiting.  The only thing I made was green bean casserole, I totally lucked out because that is not a complicated dish!  I did get to enjoy lots of good cooking though!
 Connor enjoyed playing with his cousins 🙂
 Here he is watching his favorite movie Cars…he really gets into it!
The Christmas cards are addressed and ready to send out.  I am so proud of myself!  I am usually so behind….but this year just call me “Super Momma!” Ha ha 
I got these cute Merry Christmas address labels from VistaPrint for about $4 bucks.  They turned out great!  Also-notice my new Merry Christmas Starbucks cold tumbler…it’s awesome!!!
 Tis the season to eat…..and take food to your co-workers so you don’t eat it all yourself!
 Starting to get presents wrapped and under the tree 🙂

The only Black Friday shopping I did was to swing by World Market before work for some advent calendar for my nieces and nephews.

I was one of the first 100 shoppers and got this cute Rin Tin Tin ornament and a free movie pass! SCORE!

 All the Starbucks ornaments are hung on the tree!
 This is the new one for 2011

I got this blue garland stuff to put on the fireplace to sort of blend in with everything else….what do you think?  I love glitter!!!!  The more glitter the better….I just keep swiffer sweeping and it will be okay!  Actually Connor loves to Swiffer so I just give it to him…fun chore for a two year old huh???

Let the CHRISTMAS SEASON begin!!!
Yay!!!
