Thankful #24

I am thankful for Thanksgiving.  What a wonderful day to spend time with family and express our thanks out loud.  And I am thankful that we have enough food to eat, and more to spare.  Hope you had a wonderful day!

Silk-Dyed Eggs

I know I posted this last year, but it was so close to Easter, so I thought I would repost it.  I am going to make a trip to my hubby's closet and see if I can't get rid of a few hideous ties!  LOL

Have fun!

Easter

I refuse to turn Easter into Christmas. We need one holiday that is Christ-centered. When I was growing up, we didn't even do the Easter bunny. But The Doctor did. So we compromised. We color eggs on Friday, the Easter Bunny comes on Saturday, and Sunday we focus on Christ.

I gave up buying new church clothes for the boys for Easter years ago because with all the hand-me-downs, The Chocoholic had several shirts and pants! So now I just buy a new dress for The Princess (or 3 like I did this year), and the boys get a new tie. They don't care because they are boys.

Go here before you color your eggs this year!

Silk-Dyed Eggs

This is the coolest thing! I am definitely going to try it next year. I can't this year because we did our eggs last night. The Easter bunny comes to our house on Saturday so we can focus on Christ on Sunday.

Ghost of Halloween Present - 2008

The Teenager was bummed again this year because we still wouldn't let him go trick or treating (12 years old is the cut off), but he discovered something even better. He sat out on the lawn and scared the kids as they went by him. He had strict instructions not to scare anyone under the age of 10, but he got the teenagers really good! He is already planning what he is going to do next year!

The Artist as Indiana Jones.

The Chocoholic as a girl...his idea, not mine! Oh, and the heels? They lasted to the house across the street and back to our house to put on tennis shoes! LOL

The Princess went as a married fairy. Married because of the "veil" she was wearing. It looks a lot like the one I wore for my wedding, and she has already tried that one on, so she was married. It was so cute!
