then I ran across this picture and fell in LOVE!

just sayin'

This is one smart kid!
His name is Tanner, he's 7 yrs old~

He's made himself a "Christmas Wish List"
What a great idea! I wish I had thought of that~

Simple, go to Toys R Us and sign up, just like Tanner did~
Sure comes in handy when your a Grandma!!
(I hope Santa can see it too)

ToysRUs

We're having the ladies that we (Terri and I) Visiting Teach
over for a little Thanksgiving treat~
This is our lesson...."We're thankful for YOU!"
We love you Kendra, Jenny, Becky and Angie!

I had the most fun day..........
spent the day with my friend, SASSY!
She is so stinkin' talented~I can hardly stand it!!

She painted this door in my kitchen/breakfast room
it's a CHALKBOARD
and we found "liquid chalk" to write on it with!
Merry Christmas to me.......early!!

Look at this, would ya............

Now, when you come to my home I want you to leave me a note on the door!!

Thank you SASSY!!
I love ya girl!!

Especially for McKenzie ~

There's something about the holidays that brings out all the traditional recipes. This is one of my favorites~this is not your basic green bean casserole~this is "Over the TOP Green Bean & Corn Casserole"

Another "holiday favorite" recipe to come tomorrow (pecan pie)

Green Bean and Corn Casserole
1 can french cut green beans (I use 1 1/2 cans)
1 bag white baby corn (frozen)
Drain beans and put in greased 9 x 13 pan
Mix together: 1 chopped onion
1 can cream celery soup
1 C. sour cream
2 C. grated cheddar cheese
Spread mixture and cheese on top of corn and beans

In zip lock bag:
1 tube of Ritz crackers
1 bag sliced almonds
Toss together

Melt 1 stick of butter
Put butter in bag and shake well
Pour over casserole
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes
It will bubble on top and look yummy when done
