Aspen is 10!

Aspen had her 10th b-day, and it's hard to think I've been a mom for 10 years now. WOW.
She wanted a pirate themed party. It was fun! She had some friends from school over. They decorated cookies, played Twister, and Clue. 2 girls got to spend the night. I wasn't about to relive last year's party; 16 girls spent the night. Holy Cow...that was intense!!!! hahahahahahha Needless to say the meager allowance this year. hahahahha

Aspen, I love you. I would not be the same without you. You have given me an amazing gift, the gift of motherhood. And so our song...

"Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
I can't see me loving nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me
Baby the skies will be blue, for all my life"

Christmas, Please Come Soon!

In my OCD state I have already:

Decorated...check, (which from the pictures is quite meager this year, I didn't put up much I'm trying to get rid of some of the stuff I've kept for way too long, a couple things were from a favorite boyfriend from High School, well, my first love which is why I probably hung on to them so long.) Dallas hung lights outside though, and they're beautiful!

Bought and wrapped presents...check

Sent out Christmas Cards...check

and here I sit twiddling my thumbs, just waiting for Christmas Eve...

This weekend we're planning to watch two traditional movies, "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" and "The Christmas Story". I'm pulling out all the stops too! Treats, friends, and lot's of laughing! Tuesday we depart for Yakivegas...Yeehaw! I'm really excited to go home. Myself and the kiddies are going to start the festivities early and Dallas will come as soon as he can.
