5 things Friday.... Emily style

Em sent me a text asking where 5 Things Friday was, I told her I'm too busy today.  Here is her guest post!  hahaha

5 reasons why you need a baby bunny!
1.) They don't make any noise.  They are perfect city pets because they don't bark all night.
2.) They will teach your kids good eating habits.  They eat a lot of veggies and no sweets.... Ever hear the phrase "you eat like a rabbit"?
3.)  You don't have to let them outside.  I have never tried it but I am told you can litter train them.
4.) You can breed them and get new babies.  It's like the pet that keeps on giving.  If you play your cards right you could always have a bunny.
5.) They are just so cute!  Soft and fluffy and snuggle right up to you anytime of day.

5 Things Friday - 5 Things I love about December

5 Things I love about December

1.  Christmas Cards
I LOVE getting Christmas cards in the mail!  Its so fun to get something in the mail that isn't a bill.  And I love hearing from people I haven't talked to in a while.  I love seeing pictures of everyone.  Christmas Cards Rock!

2.  Shopping
Whether its all the hustle and bustle at the mall or ordering something online and getting the package delivered... I love the excitement of trying to find that special present for everyone on my list.  Yes, sometimes it gets stressful when I can't think of an idea or I have an idea and I can't find where to buy it.  But for the most part I really enjoy shopping for Christmas presents.

3.  Christmas Music
Its fun to get out that music that you only listen to in December!  And the radio stations that play the Christmas music 24/7.  Yes, it gets old after a while.  But for a couple of weeks I love it.  And Michael Buble.... oh Buble... I think he was born to sing Christmas songs.... 

4.  Eating/Drinking
I love to eat.  And I love to drink.  And December parties are the perfect excuse to do both of those things to an extreme that you would never do any other time of the year! 

5.  Christmas Lights
Its pretty amazing how Christmas lights can totally transform things and make everything seem magical!  And Lyla is so in to them this year already so that makes it even more fun!

Heard Around the House #19

Sitting on the couch with Lyla last night...

Me:  Hey, did you know Daddy's birthday is next week?

Lyla:  Yeah.

Me:  We should make him something, what do you think we should make him?

Lyla:  Meat.

Me:  Meat??  What kind of meat?

Lyla:  Yellow.

Me:  So, you want to make Daddy yellow meat for his birthday?

Lyla:  Yes.

Happy Thanksgiving!

What a busy weekend we have had.  Right now its early Sunday morning, Gary and Lyla are upstairs laying in bed watching cartoons and I'm just trying to catch up on my life for a minute!

For Thanksgiving on Thursday we went to my sister's house.  It was such a beautiful day weather-wise that it was really perfect that we ended up at her house out in the country!  We all ate too much food and just had a wonderful time! 

That evening we went down to my Aunt and Uncles and visited with all of my cousins.  Its always nice to catch up on what everyone has been up to. 

Then Gary came back home because he had to work all weekend.  Lyla and I stayed at my mom and dad's.  We love staying there!  We went shopping on Friday with mom and Em.  It was just really a lot of fun!  A bit exhausting, but fun!

Mom and Dad brought us home yesterday afternoon.  Dad and I thought it would be fun to surprise Gary so we dug out all the outside Christmas lights and put them up for when he got home from work.  He was surprised! 

SO thats a quick recap and here are some fun pictures!
