Garage door, DH's brakes and Doodling...

I need to be finishing up my Christmas cards but haven't had much time this past week.

Have had a garage door opener brake...DH found what he thought was the problem...we ordered the part...it came on Monday, and DH fixed it! Woo-hoo..just it time too...its too cold to park the vehicles outside! PLUS, its soooo convenient to unload groceries when its raining!

Then DH's brakes decided to sound out...so took it into the shop and got the bad news that he has to replace all the brakes, the hydraulics need replaced, too(and possibly the rotors). So, its Merry Christmas to DH and I AGAIN this year! LOL! I am greatful that we have the money to be able to afford the repairs! PTL!

At Craft Happy , I have been taking a FUN doodling class and at least have been doing something creative! Hope to get to some card making this weekend!

Hope to be problem free hopefully for the next month!

We had a wonderful time at our friends the Dixons. We have been taking turns hosting Thanksgiving for over 14 year now! It really was our turn to host, but Cindy and Tim insisted since our TV broke(last March, and there are no plans to replace it). Their were fifteen of us!
In our two families alone there are 13!
Here are a few pictures from our holiday....

Worry...I shouldn't have...

BUT, I am a mom and thats in my job title, right!?

Oldest wanted to go to a concert up in PA that was 2-1/2 hours away with his friend and at 19 yo ha a great driving record and I should let him right? Well, after much trepitation, we decided to let him go...thank goodness for cell phones! Its not that I didn't trust him...its always the other drivers that I worry about!

He called when he got there...he called when they left...what more could I ask! He got home safe and sound....whew....

He is a responsible kid and I love him...how do you learn to let go and let them fly on their own?? I feel its in baby steps and this was definitely a milestone this weekend. I will always worry about him, he is our son!

I am not alone am I??

Family Night

It was Family Night last night... with the fire place a blazing, we roasted marshmallows for s'mores...read abit with the kids. Now WHY didn't I think to take pictures, I don't know...I will next time!

Today is our DS's birthday!

He is our oldest...he turned 19 today!

He has been sleeping all morning(he works UPS nights)
and we finally woke him up because he has a college class at 12:30...fed him some Apple-Fritter bread hot out of the nuker. He loved it...now I need to find a recope how to make it homemade, since it was store bought!

He gets home soon from class, so I am in the process of making him his birthday cheesecake.
Funny thing...he loves the cheesecake from Jello...not the REAL stuff!

After dinner out between classes we plan to have our cheesecake before he heads back off to work at UPS(yes, he has class till 9pm and he has to be at work at 9:30pm!)

The cool news is last week after only being at his job since March he was prompted to a supervisor position...here he was last Thursday when he reported for his first night...
