Merry Christmas with MiLeS oF sMiLeS all around!

On December the 16th, Dan and Stephanie got married!
It was a gorgeous wedding. Melissa made both cakes, the bride's and groom's cake. Stephanie wore a beautiful dress that shimmered when she moved. it had a long train and stunning long veil, and her hair was done up prettily. Dan had to keep from making a smile that, if it could, would go a mile long. :-)
There were roses and baby's breath for decoration.
Melissa played a number of beautiful songs, Daddy preached from the Bible, and we took pictures.
In the very middle of this, although (very thankfully) not many people heard this, a long BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! was heard. Could you believe I forgot to empty my memory card?
Aside from that, everything was just so pretty.
We blew bubbles when they came out to go to the car, and then everyone headed to our home.
The chocolate eminence (the groom's cake) was so good, it was gone before a few of us got to taste it.
The butterscotch cake (the bride's cake) was so good as well, that the top two tiers disappeared.
(Look at Dan's smile!!!!) ------->
(if any of my pictures are blurry, please feel free to blame my camera.... heheh! :) )
Well, I was just updating my blog! I hope everyone has a very marvelous, very grand, and a very awesome Christmas!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS WITH MiLeS oF sMiLeS aLl ArOuNd!!!

Fishing in the Christmas Season

This is what Christmas Day looked like at our house last year. Crazy, am I right?

Well, as I've probably already said in my last post, after Thanksgiving dessert---no, let me rephrase that---as SOON as Thanksgiving dessert has been eaten, it Christmas season! I can still remember last year, when Christie and Joe argued over whether Christmas season was after dessert, or the day after Thanksgiving.

And tomorrow, I'm going fishing! I'm going with Me, Myself, and I. No, just kidding lol ;). I'm going with my mom, my dad, and my brother-in-law, Michael. and me.
But, take note, Michael said we're going 'catching, not fishing.'
We're getting up at 5:30 so we can get there for high tide, I think, I forgot. Sam wanted to go, but if I don't know him, he is NOT willing to get up at 5:30. He's the Night Owl, I'm the Early Bird. Not that Sam is grumpy or anything. Though I do find you're a lot chirpier if you go to sleep on time and get up early.

Well, a very Happy Thanksgiving to EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you all!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is just right around the corner! It's a rule in our house, that when dessert has been finished on Thanksgiving Day...night...it's Christmas season!!
Although you may think I am quite crazy, Thursday morning I wrapped the VERY LAST Christmas gift on my list for people. If you get what I mean. haha ;p. AND IT'S STILL NOVEMBER!!!!! I am over-the-top excited for Christmas Day to come so I can give my gifts out.
Yes, amigos, 'I am PREPARED!' that's a quote from 'Hoodwinked', said in a hillbilly accent.
Yo tengo una familia grande. That's Spanish for 'I have a large family.' Pointing out that I have to get a lot of gifts. Yeah, I am learning Spanish!

So, Sam and I are building a fort! yeah... another one.... but this time, it'll be even better! It's out of sight, unless you REALLY really look for it, and it's going to be---we're hoping it will be--- taller than our last fort!

Sam: What if the walls rot and the ceiling falls down...... and we're in it?!
Me: Sam, it won't.
Sam: It might!
Me: Whether or not it rots, there will be stakes holding them up. And we can re-build it.
Sam: .........I still think this is a bad idea.

but, other than that, Sam is working hard on it, despite his skepticism.
Well, I should go. I'm hearing sarcastic remarks about 'if you spend too much time on the computer, you will grow up to be really stupid and your brains will rot.'

Fall, Fall, Loverly Fall

Ahh, what a fantastic season! my velly favorite. Warm in the day, and very cool at night. You can wear your favorite sweaters to church in the morning, and in the day, it's just so perfectly warm! And it looks so pretty with the red leaves.
Once, I was doing something in the kitchen, and I just happened to glance out our window and see three birds on our porch. One was in the birdbath, and one was flying about, and the last one was hopping around on the porch. It actually made me feel like it was spring, because of all our greenery
left in the woods.
The only fault with fall is that we can't swim anymore!
But I suppose fall is also more of a baking season..... yum!

I end this post with awe at the beauty that surrounds me everywhere I go, Dear Reader, and I hope you leave this post feeling the same way.

Snowman Village! And Pictures!

Sweet Caroline
This is called....Grasshopper Pie. It tastes very good, though. It has chocolate, mint, and an Oreos crust. And lots of grasshoppers. Just kidding. :-)
Sam took this picture, actually. It is very hard to do, I suppose, although I KNOW it's hard to do with my camera. It's a sailboat. Just so you know.

Last night, Sam, Emmy and I slept on the trampoline! It was the perfect temperature, and the wrong place to sleep. I slept in the middle. And guess what. I had every elbow and knee sticking into my stomach and back. Oh joy. This morning, at, yes, Reader, 4:17 precisely, I went inside to get a sweater. Naturally, I presumed, since the lights were on, that Daddy was up, and it was 6:30. But, was I right? Oh, no, not nearly. It was Joe and Christie. They were playing Age of Empires with Dan. They had just finished, and were watching movies. Or episodes. I was squinting (since I didn't have my glasses or contact in, of course) at the clock, and had just made out what time it was, when Christie nearly scared me out of my wits.
"Good morning, Molly!" said Wide Awake Christie. Joe hardly glanced up. Yeah, busy, I presume, watching a movie?
Of course, I didn't express anything when she scared me. I told her "Good morning, it is very cold outside" and I zipped upstairs, back down, and was, with Very Warm Socks compared to the Very Cold Air, back, snuggled deep into my sleeping back.
-----Minutes later----oh, hours? Sorry. My bad. ---
7:30
"AAAAAHHHHH! No, STOP, NO NO NO! CHRISTIE!!! MOLLY, HELP ME!!!" Sam shrieked. I could hear him VERY clearly. And if I missed my mark, very VERY VERY clearly.
"No." That was my reply. "Good nigh-- CHRISTIE!!!!!!!!"
Now I knew what had happened to Sam.
"My feet are frreeezing!" Christie said.
"Yeah, so Sam and I NOTICED."
I am not looking forward to more "Molly, it's Friday! It's cool enough to go camping!" Alright, fine. I admit. I have the tiniest excitement.


So, recently, I decided I was going to make something out of beads. SOMETHING. But what?

Sam: It would be cool if you made a snowman out of some beads.
Me: Yeah, well, just what would I do with that? (snaps fingers) Yeah, thanks Sam!
Sam: ......You're welcome?

So, since I have my own camera!!! I can post my own pictures! Ever since Christie decided to save up for Annie, she promised me Sharpshooter. Oh, don't you like the name? :-

I've added more stuff to my Snowman Village, but I forgot to take pictures of it, and right now, I'm just too lazy to upload it anyways. Heheh. ;)


A few days ago, I went outside (when it was warm! imagine that!) and took some pictures.

Quotes

I decided I had some very funny quotes, so I thought you might enjoy them! Here you are, Dear Readers, read and have some laughs!

Molly: Sam, would you please go bring the phone here in case someone calls?
(phone rings right after she finishes)
Sam: Okay, I'll go get it.
(Later)
Molly: Oh, Sam! We forgot to bring the phone here. Bring it here, will you, in case it rings?
(phone rings right after she finishes)
Sam: Wow, perfect timing again!

Emmy: Molly! There is a frog in my shorts!
(Emmy is a nut. She changed her shorts, but there was nothing in her other pair.)

Emmy: Oh no! Molly! There's a caterpillar in my shirt!
(Again, nothing there. Emmy and her Emmy-isms.)

Emmy: My head aches. I'm tired. I might faint.

Sam: Rachel, what are Northern Lights?
Rachel: The Aurora Borealis. (Or Arboreal. Which one??)
---pause---
Sam: Well, what's the Aurora Borealis?
Rachel: The Northern Lights.

Molly: Hey Sam, will you please go empty the pool cleaner for Mama? I'm pretty sure it needs it.
Sam: I'm expecting dead lizards and such.

Me: So. Watcha gonna do with that can of chicken broth, play with it all day?
Sam: Yep.
Me: Your best friend, huh?
Sam: Yes. (walks away)
Me: Hmm. (looks at Sam suddenly) wait, what about ME??
Sam: What about you?

Mama: ...So what is Peter?
Emily: A boy.
Mama: That’s right. And Susie is a..?
Emily: A girl.
Mama: and Ken is a Barbie, that’s right.
Emily: No, Ken is a doll.

Scarrup: It suddenly seems very quiet.
Dockwood: That’ll be the absence of the ladies, then, sir. ----The Secret of Moonacre.

We went to get our checkups today, only to find out Emmy and I had to get shots! Emmy was very brave though. She made faces, but didn't make a sound. Me? What did I do? I didn't do anything. No, indeed. I was too busy playing the iPhone, so nothing could divert my attention.

Ooh, everyone is excited about Sam's upcoming birthday! We're having close friends over and then we're going to City Park in New Orleans. (I'm excited because I'm tall enough to ride the bumper cars!) Last time I went (I am the only one in our family that has gone) it was for a friend's birthday, and I was sadly too short to ride bumper cars. And they now have a Ferris wheel! Haven't been on one for years! (Yes, about eight years ago.)
Well, I must now go finish that thing for Sammy's birthday gift! I hope you have a blessed day, Dear Reader, and a good one at that.

"Yesterday was history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift. That is why it is called the Present."

Sunshine and Football! WHO DAT!

We are so happy that the rain has stopped! And we're so happy because the Saints play tonight! We know every day that they're going to play, and the day that they're not. Yeah, you don't think we like the Saints very much, do you? Lol. Christie is proudly still showing off her her Saints shirt, while I am proudly wearing mine, too. And when ever we go to our friends' house, or whenever we have our church over, I made sure I could locate my cup in seconds... Guess what it has written on it! "Saints' biggest fan" and an unexplainable messy Fleur-De-Lis--or what's supposed to be one, anyways. I've never attempted to draw another again.
And, for another upcoming event, I am thankful besides happy that the rain has stopped, for I am planning something very special for Sammy's birthday! It is on Tuesday, and he will be double digits! I would love to tell you all about it (if I haven't) but I am very much afraid Sam will come in and read my post, so I shall wait until later.
Well, Dear Readers, I would love to write more, but I need to go watch a certain game on television!
