Anniversary!

David and I celebrated two years of marriage on Sunday. I can't believe it's been that long, didn't we just get married yesterday? (Reading back on old posts it sure feels like it was yesterday!) It was a great weekend, since it was on Sunday we did most of the celebrating on Saturday but Sunday was great too. :)

 My present to David.
 His present to me.
 He's the kind of guy that really makes you feel great when he's opening your present! (I know you can feel the sarcasm.)
Being the crafty lady that I am, I made his gift! The theme was cotton this year so I monogrammed W.B.H. on a t shirt and gym shorts (he lives in them, that's where I got the idea.) I thought W.B.H. would be somewhat obvious, but apparently not for David. (I won't tell you the ones he came up with.) It stands for World's Best Hubby!
 (Ok, I'm not much better, sue me.)
 David named him "Mr. Bear." (Creative, yes?) I love him, and I plan on sleeping with him whenever David is out of town.
 We also made gingerbread houses!
 Despite being from a box we still managed to screw them up pretty badly...
To finish off our day we had a typical dinner and movie date. We ate the Greystone grill.
I don't know why you think you'll ever escape pictures of food we eat, so just stop thinking about it! David got this cool wedge salad. It's a quarter of a head of iceberg lettuce with all the fixings on top! I thought it was so cool.
 He has a lot of fun eating it too. I totally want to do this for a fancy dinner in the future.
 Whenever we go out to eat it feels like David always orders ribs....
 And I always order a seafood dish. I guess when you like something you like something right?
 And now here we are, two years older and a heckavu lot wiser!
 On Sunday morning David made me Eggs Benedict! (My all time favorite breakfast, he ever gave me the special plate set!)
 We enjoyed eating breakfast together in the basement, spending quality time together and just enjoying each other's company.
 Did you notice what he wore? :)

And what celebration would be complete without sparkling cider??


And can you believe it?? He managed to find a bouquet with BOTH of my favorite flowers. I thought lilies and peach roses together would look funny but I love it!  Here's to two more years together, love you hubs!

Thanksgiving at MuggaPappap's

I haven't forgotten about this blog, I just get too lazy to write in it! Take Thanksgiving for example, super fun, took lots of pictures, but I know hours of blogging are ahead of me to post it all and then I just get lazy and don't do. Sorry. :( But I won't but it off any longer! (Though the post might be lacking in words, there are 52 pictures to make up for it. So that's....52,000 words! Win!) David and I headed up to my grandparent's house in PA for the holiday weekend! My cousin Courtney came down from NY, so it ended up being a big crowd.

Me and Al in our matching Turbie Twists that also matched out outfits!

Poor Jum Jum really wanting some turkey. :(

The girls and I all made jewelry, since that's my new favorite thing.

Courtney and I prepped the table, since we weren't allowed to help with cooking!

Paper plates aren't classy you say? HA! Mugga and Pappap don't have a dishwasher is what I say back to you!
I think we did a FINE job thankyouverymuch.

Doesn't Jellybean look sooo funny in this picture?? Hahahaaa, I love her so much!

 Hard at work to make the holidays memorable.
 Lazy butts doing nothing! This is basically what any down time looked like over the weekend, everyone at a laptop. Talk about family bonding!
 Mugga's famous stuffing!
And also famous cole slaw,



Yeah, you're jealous. I know.

 These are the faces of happy campers waiting to get food! Well, Allie is more like a "FOOD FOOD FOOD" face.
 It was a little cramped, but that just makes it easier to spread the love around!
 With Pappap's rotator cuff surgery, he had to do everything left handed. Of course he wouldn't let us help him at all.
 And Jellybean finally got some turkey. :)
I was trying to take a picture of how sweet is was of my dad to bring my mom happy face stuffing, and Allie had to go and PHOTOBOMB it! Although, I will admit, it's a pretty good photobomb.

Mugga will KILL me for posting this, but I thought this was the most adorable picture ever!! Isn't it?? We were all tired after dinner, there was a lot of this going on.

 The next day was Black Friday, so we went shopping for a while. Brandon and I went through a really cool antique shop. He liked the cool feather hat, amongst other things. I was sad I didn't get a picture of everything we saw!
 This just made us laugh. An outlet store for alcohol? How does that work??
 After shopping and seeing HP7.1 we took a traditional trip to CiCis. This is the traditional taking pictures of the remaining crusts! (With more traditional photobombing!)
 Non pizza eating Courtney only had olives behind, what a shame!

 And Allie the crust eater didn't have and crusts to show off.
 (See what I mean about photobombing??)


 We played so many games while we were there. Wii games, board games, word games, you name it, we played it! However, once David smashed the antique crystal lamp while playing Wii Dance we stopped playing. (Look at the lamp on the right. See how it doesn't have the dangly things like the one on the left? Yeah, David broke them.)
 Drinking lemonade through "Veggie straws," which surprisingly wasn't revolting!
 Courtney had a knack for winning all the games!
And David and Dad don't have a knack for making mad faces.

I caught Jellybean doing the "Ultimate Relaxation Pose!!" I was so excited!

Oh! And it snowed while we were there! Though it's hard to see, I promise it's there. It inspired us to make...

Snowflakes! My idea, of course. Everyone joined in the fun, we even had to improv with the scissors!

Yeah, they didn't work very well.






 Apparently Dad didn't know how to make snowflakes! I felt bad, he's missed out on so much in life!!
 Allie was good at making doilies.

 (Make sure you check out both snowflakes in this picture!)


 (See the creepy totem pole looking face in the middle??)
It was such a great trip, I was so sad to leave. On the way home I tried to get a picture of "Dad's favorite rocks" but I didn't do a very good job. Next time I'll get them!!
