What Every Girl Needs

Is my girl really 12 years old today?? Where did time go? I can't believe she is old enough to do things like ask for a cell phone for her birthday.....
The Birthday Girl couldn't be happier with this gift!!

Our talented Aunt Jacci came through once again and made Camry an amazing cell phone cake. The best thing about Jacci's cakes...other than how cute they are....is that they taste even better!! Thanks Jax!! We love you!
Grandpa and Grandma took the whole family to Outback to celebrate Camry's birthday. This is how the birthday girl spent the entire meal....texting her BFF's...
Happy birthday to my sweet girl! We love you so much!

Pajama Party

For Camry's 12th Birthday Party we had 10 silly girls over for a pajama party complete with pizza making, game playing, cupcake eating, and movie watching.

Savanna, Katrina, Maddy, Emily, Tori, Shaylee, Camry, Megan, Alaina, and Laura

This is how they really act....

We played a fun hand game. The girls were cracking me up with how loud they would scream when someone would get out!
We played "memory" with things about Camry for the matches. Every time someone got a match they got to pick a treat...oh boy....more sugar!
What am I crazy??

The girls each made mini pizzas. This was pretty yummy....and messy!

Blowing out the candles. We were all covering our ears at the end of the Happy Birthday song thanks to Emily's LOUD rendition! (....oh and this is Aunt Bonnie being a trooper and helping me out! She had only had about 4 hours of sleep! Thanks Bonnie!!)
The girls getting ready to watch "Journey to the Center of the Earth"

Last but not least....our night owls. Camry's adopted cousins Tori and Laura spent the night with Camry after everyone else went home. They had a great time eating popcorn and giggling through the night....I have no idea what time they finally fell asleep but I know it was LATE!

Words Cannot Express

...how much I love my friends! Thanks to the amazing technological advances of today I get to stay in touch with my most favorite people in the world on a daily basis. Lisa was in town to visit Debbie for Thanksgiving....so thanks to email, blogging, and text messaging (this last one excludes Lisa) we organized our schedules and got together to have dinner. We had so much fun...duh! We always do!

Lisa, Autumn, Jenny, Debbie, and Kerrieleigh

We met for dinner at Gardner Village. Codi ended up being in town for meetings so we met her and two of her friends at the restaurant. It was so much fun to see her! After some yummy food the restaurant wanted to close so we headed over to Debbie's to chat for a while.

Love you guys! Can't wait until next time! Until then...see you on the blog!

I Need Therapy

....I have plenty of issues. I'll be the first one to admit it. If it isn't obvious one of those BIG issues is my blog. I am constantly getting bored with it and switching up the layout. The previous green polkas just weren't jumping out at me so I think I've finally found one I can live with.

BUT in my haste....I wasn't careful AGAIN and have accidentally erased all of my buddies off of my sidebar!! SCREAM!!! SO if you don't mind I would love an email from you giving me your blog address so that I can recover your sites and add them back on! Sorry I'm such a dork!! Happy Holidays!! ahalliday5@yahoo.com

Lesson Learned

It IS possible to put TOO much air into your beloved football!

Sad.....

Note to self-add football to Christmas list.

Thankful For....

Here is my little Pilgrim. Do you love how he decorated the front just like a guy from Star Wars...and the shiny gum wrapper he added to the hat after he got home from school...just to spice it up a bit! :)

At school Jace had to fill a Thanksgiving platter with the things he is thankful for. Here is his list:

• I am thankful for my EaSton
• I am thank ful for my SISDR
• I am thankful for my BeD
• I am thankful for My Dad
• I am thankful for MOMDad
• I am thankful for MY CaMRy
• I am thankful for my Jace
• I am thankful for my MoM
• I am thankful for my bed

I'm glad he loves his bed so much! :) I love this age when they are first learning to write. Today I'm thankful for Jace for making me smile...also for the other two who have been inadvertently left off the blog for a while....oops! :)
Happy Thanksgiving!

Midnight Twilight Premiere

Call us crazy...but we had CRAZY fun! A big thanks to Kristin who hooked us up with a lady selling tickets to the midnight premiere of Twilight at The Gateway. We had reserved seating which meant...no long lines....no standing out in the cold...no pushing and shoving! Wahoo!

Jodi, Jodi Jo, Cami, Susan, Amy, Natelli, Jacci, Laura, Autumn, Jenny

We split into different groups because the restaurants were overwhelmed with crazed Twilighters! Our group chose Chili's in downtown SLC.

Jenny, Jacci, myself, and Laura at the theater

Seated...11:30pm in our awesome seats!

Jodi, Amy, and Jodi Jo were right in front of us
Whoa! ..no..Cami and Jenny weren't bitten by Edward...we were given vampire teeth upon entering the theater.
Amy, Natelli, and Susan...these guys really were bitten by Edward!

Ha ha ha...that's all I have to say about this pic.
They did a drawing right before the movie started and OF COURSE Jacci's seat number was called! Lucky girl! She got a key chain, a book mark, and a pin. We actually had pretty good luck. Out of our group 3 people won things!

Overall...I thought the movie was...okay. I was entertained. Can't wait for New Moon! Thanks for the fun girls!
