Southern Maarsh Party Of Five: Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday 2014

Well holidays have come and gone, and my blogging time was interrupted by a computer down. Nothing worse than having a computer not working and being torn between an ipad or cell phone for internet usage. But momentarily we are up and running. Thanksgiving was nice this year. We try to do a little something different. Wake up, dress somewhat nice for the occasion and cheers with Mimosas. We enjoyed the good eats; crab legs, filet mignon, twice baked potatoes, sweet potato soufflé, green bean casserole and kinsleys favorite: canned cranberries. I attempted a pumpkin cheesecake but it was not my best to be honest. Most went in the trash. But I will find a better recipe for next year!!! Enjoyed the company of my 3 favorite midgets and hubby. Gotta love a good day of eats.

And then theres a little birthday celebration in between these holidays. Kinsleys birthday is one that's waited for all year. She decided to do a movie birthday with a few of her besties. Turned out to be a lot of fun. We did marble slab instead of a birthday cake and then enjoyed the Penguins of Madagascar movie. She had no clue, but Adam and I got her a new Iphone 5 and I think that's about all she really wanted. Happy number 11 to my sweet girl.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd Adam and I decided this was a good year to start a Holiday celebration. To get our friends and family together. So an Ugly Sweater Christmas Party it was. So many cute sweaters made, bought etc. Cant believe how cute it all turned out and to my surprise, my dad, brother and sister in law decided to make a trip from Fayetteville and surprise me. IT WAS A SUPRISE!!! Lots of good eats contributed by all and ofcourse Josh & Heather won the champagne prize for the best sweaters. Probably had something to do with Heathers massive silver bow and rocking Christmas boots.

Merry Christmas 2014

Very thankful for this year and all the people we have to share it with. Blessed with great friends and family. Welcoming in 2015 with lots to look forward to...
