Christmas Jammies!!

Every year on Christmas Eve I remember being soooo excited, Christmas was the next day and I couldn't wait! I remember begging my mom to open just 1 present on Christmas eve, and I felt as if I begged all day and then finally convinced her to let me open one, although her rule was that she got to pick out which one it was that we got to open! So finally before we went to bed we opened up our 1 present and it was Christmas Jammie's. Surprise surprise every year was Christmas Jammie's!! Now heres the kicker, this had gone on for many many many years and not once did I ever clue into her little trick! I honestly can say I didn't catch on till I was well into my teenage years. Mothers are so dang tricky! Well its my turn now! I just still cant believe she tricked my brother and I so well into her way of having us have fresh clean Jammie's for pictures the next morning! Once again my mother pulled it off! I loved the Christmases that Chase and I were matching but I sure did LOVE the year that I finally caught on and told my mom just the ones I wanted!! Well needless to say The tradition lives on with her and now my little man and husband and it will be the one Tradition that never goes away!!

Jelly bean Trail...!

I loved waking up every Easter morning because I knew that meant Easter baskets were there full of fun goodies. But the best part about it is that there would always be a trail leading from our room to our Easter baskets of Jelly beans. It was just another fun thing that my mom took time out to do for us kids! I am so grateful for those fun memories. My dad always called it Easter bunny poop and my mom always said it was just a trail the Easter bunny left for us to find our baskets!! I love how this was something so simple and that it is one of my Favorite memories! I am just itching at the chance for my kids to be old enough that they will start to notice these things and enjoy them! Thanks mom for the fun childhood and memories, they will ALWAYS be remembered!

Best Ice cubes in town!

I am craving these ice cubes so bad and I have tried and tried to recreate these Ice cubes but it can NOT happen! My grandma used to fill her ice cube trays with the bottled water that they had and they were always the best tasting/looking in the world! These Ice cubes were perfectly shaped and completely see threw! They were the best in a cold drink! They were like model Ice cubes, we should have taken a bunch of pictures! They looked so awesome in a glass with Pepsi! They were also so soft to chew for some reason! I really don't have alot to say about these Ice Cubes but the fact that they were fun, delicious, gorgeous, perfect and impossible to re due! The picture is exactly what they looked like!
