Christmas Fun

Christmas has come and gone, but we are still celebrating. Jeremy and I were able to go to his sister, Laurie's home for Christmas. We were joined by Laurie and Micheal, Elizabeth and Joe(niece and boyfriend) Joe and Angie, Mikey, Alyssa, Deb, and Jen (brother and family). We had a great meal, as always prepared by Micheal. Enjoy the pictures!!!

Jen, showing her "Hello Kitty" Bag...what a model
What Elizabeth is holding is a hand carved chickadee her dad Micheal made. It was amazing. The details are amazing!! It looks real!!! What an awesome gift.
So, as a gift for the girls, Elizabeth got them something Jen told Santa to bring her!!! Her reaction is priceless.(Jen is in the red dress). Sorry about the quality, it is not the best..

We have one more Christmas celebration to do with my mom on New Years Day. Pictures will be coming aftet that day! Hope you had a Merry Christmas and got to spend time your loved one!!!!!

Tag.....

Because I must be one of the four people that reads Aimee's blog, I thought I better do this. Here are the rules.
1) Choose the 5th folder where you store your pictures on your computer.
2) Select the 5th picture in the folder.
3) Explain the picture.

This is a picture of the bear at Irvine Park in Chippewa Falls. We were there on a field trip for school. You can even see my reflection in the glass.

Rules for the next:

1) Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer.

2) Select the 4th picture in the folder.

3) Explain the picture.

This is Jeremy's sister, Laurie's cat.....and for the life of me I can't remember her name. She is one of the fattest cats I have ever seen!!!! What is amazing about this cat, is that she will stand on the edge of the couch and jump up to this spot. The couch is about 5 feet from the shelf and about 5 feet high.....she has no problem getting up there!!!! I am not a cat person, but she is a cutie!!!!!

Apparently, my pictures are not that exciting....sorry about this boring post!! More to come about my cooking/baking fun times!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!Enjoy the holiday!!!

My TEN Things!!

Ten things I love:

1. Holiday Baking....I started today and was so excited. 4 dozen Peanut Butter Bloosoms and Peanut Butter Brownie with Chocolate Frosting

2. My Family

3. The smiles and hugs I recieve everyday at school.

4. The change children have after a few months of school. I teach 4 and 5 year old, and almost all of my children can write their names, name at least 10 letters and their sounds. Those accomplishments mean so much too me!!!!

5. Christmas tree smell!!! Fresh pine is great!!

6. Fiesta Lime Chicken from Applebee's

7. Babies!!! I love the smell of new babies.....I love my nephew...he is my Lil' Buckaroo!!!

8. The beach

9. My wonderful friends---Aimee, Minda, Jodi, Jen, Liz, Julie, Andy & Stacey, Amy and a whole bunch more!!!

10. My WONDERFUL HUSBAND!!! Without him, I don't know where I would be today. He is my rock, my shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen. He gives me strength, courage and hope. The last thing Jeremy tells me at night is "I love you, sweetie". The first thing he says in the morning: "Good morning, love". I can't believe that God gave me someone so sweet and generous. I can complain, but deep down he loves me for me!!!

Tomorrow, I will shed light on the 10 things I hate!!!

11:00-12:00--Mindlessly internet surfing.....
12:00-3:00--Go shopping at Shopko, Target and Walmart
3:00--Eat lunch
3:15-5:00--Read and watch TV while mindlessly going online to do nothing

As you can see, I lead such an exciting life. Hopefully tomorrow I will have the energy to get the Christmas stuff from the basement and do a little house cleaning...if anyone wants to come and help, just let me know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a great night!!!!

It has been FOREVER!!!

Okay, I know that this post is long in coming.....I am sorry, Aimee!!!!!

We have a couple of crazy weeks here in Newlywed Land!!!


First of all, in October a bunch of friends got together to surprise Aimee and throw her a "Congrats, you are ENGAGED!!!!" Silly me, I didn't bring out my camera for the event. Take my word for it, we all had a great time! Aimee was totally surprised and I actually kept a secret for a very long time!!
A week or so I got a card in the mail from Aimee saying that my present was in the mail coming soon. I got it!!!! And was so excited that it contained this:

A new purse from my favorite new online store (thanks, Aimee)!!
The website is http://www.primopurses.com/ and I go there now on a regular basis!!! It is super cute and is big enough to hold all the things I need and YET lost things(like my phone). I guess I could be more organized, but who has time for that!!!

Jeremy is out in the woods, trying to get this:

It has not been successful yet. I will let you know if it is!!

Today was the craziest day at school. We had our Thanksgiving Lunch and we fed 88 people. 38 adults in small roooms, on small chairs, eating at small tables is quite a sight to see. Because of picture taking policies, I cant post any pictures of the children, but it was fun!!!

My brother Jacob is going to be taking our Christmas pictures on Thursday; hopefully we will get some good ones!!!

Alright, I am off to bed.....Have a great Thanksgiving!!! Travel Safely!!!

What happens when.....

....you let children color on coffee filters and then spray them with water?
Lovely, yes I know!!!!

Happy Birthday to Aimee Jo!!!

I just want to take this opportunity to wish a very special person "Happy Birthday"

Aimee Jo Hassafass Boobs McGee!!! (I think I got them all)

Last year at Aimee's Birthday Party

Aimee and I in 2006? at my house!!!

At a scrapbooking weekendAimee acting.....surprised??!!?!

Aimee has helped me through many situations in the last six years. People sometimes ask we if are sisters. I wish I was able to say "yes". She is the closest person to a sister I have ever had. It is hard to believe that our somophore year of college we lived 3 doors down in Grimm Hall and never really got to know each other. Then the next year, we had a class together and ended up sitting by each other. I remember on the day after her 21st birthday, she wasn't in class(anybody know why??). I told the professor that the night before was her 21st birthday and all he said was"Ahhhh"..... Then we ended up roommates the following year in Sheridan 2B. It was a great year and a half. Aimee has became my best friend.

After we graduated we went our seperate directions, her to Minnestoa, me to Wisconsin(the good state). We have probably talked 1,000,000 minutes on the phone and sent countless hours talking on the computer. Aimee has listened to me rabble, let me cry on her shoulder, and given me hours of advice with soooo many issues. I don't know what I am done without her. When I got engaged, it a no-brainer that she would stand next to me as I got married.

And now, as Aimee is planning for her special day, I am very excited. She is going to be a beautiful bride and a wonderful wife. So, Happy Birthday, Aimee!! I hope you have a wonderful day!!! Love, Cara
