The Holidays REALLY!!

Yes they are here! Time for turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, candy canes, fruit cakes, gingerbread cookies, egg nog, light, Santa and TRAFFIC!! I have never seen as much traffic on 380 as I so during the holiday season. So people if you live in the area cut up the tollway or go through Frisco let me get home at a reasonable time.

We are heading to Memphis Tennessee for Thanksgiving. We are looking forward to a nice time with family and friends. I am hoping to take Braden to see that Santa again at the mall there because it was not crowded at all when we went last time. I hear that Braden wrote his letter and is asking for a guitar, piano, and a flashlight. Lets hope Santa gets letter. We will be home for Christmas spending time with our family and friends here in Texas.

We will post and update when we have a free moment during the next few months. We wish you all a great Holiday Season!!!

Trick or Treat!!!

Friday night was a great night. The weather was good and our streets was full of witches, princess, fairies, hot dogs, and a BAT! Braden was going to go as Bob the Builder but it was to big this year. I did not want to get it fix because it is to cute the way it is. So maybe next year. Steve and Braden went out on the streets with Tyler, Oliver and parents Tasha and Jason. They cam back with a bucket full just one Brookridge. Braden was not done he wanted to go do some more. He had a great time and then when he was done he stayed at the house with me and helped me pass out candy. Our group of friends on street cam by with the kids and I must say we do have some of the cutest kids ever living on Brookridge. Braden slept good that night and we had to get ready for the next day. We had a neighborhood party/birthday party that started at 5 and then Clara's 5th year anniversary Halloween party at 7. Talk about a bust day.. We had a great time at Tyler's birthday and all the kids got along really well. We finally got to meet some the people we hear them talk about and that was really nice. Clara's party of course was family fun. We had everything from Dr.'s to witches, to Star Wars all in one house. The food was great the laughs were even better. We headed home and were in bed by 10:30 we were all 3 out!!!
We had a nice long weekend and everyone was safe and had a good time. Now we get ready to enter November. We will be heading to Memphis at the end of the month and we have a few family birthdays this month as well. We are looking forward to spending time with family and friends as we start the holiday season for 2008!!

Here are some pictures of the Bat that lives on Brookridge:
