Nicky's 3rd Birthday

 On Dec. 27th Nicholas turned 3 years old

I made his cupcakes

His party was Star Wars themed. I got the light-sabers on amazon.com

Darth Vader (aka Daddy) made an appearance. Even though Nicky said Daddy he still didn't want his picture with Vader. So Allyssa did.

He had a really good time and enjoyed his party. His brother helped with a little cake on the nose.

I love this little guy. He is just so precious

He loved his cupcakes! lol

Nicky's Photo Shoot

This week I have been working on photo shoots for Nicky. Rosemary (his mama) wants Christmas cards made. These are the best two. My favorite is the top one. And wouldn't you know it, it was the last picture I took.

Lazy Day watching Cat Ballou

Well I should be out shopping for Christmas but no I had a lazy day in my PJ's. After watching the little man (Nicky) for three days I needed a rest. So I watched Cat Ballou and had a glass of wine. Cat Ballou is a favorite old movie of mine. I don't remember the first time I saw it but I think I fell in "kid love" with the character Clay. The only think that would make today better would be if my sisters where watching it with me!


                                             

Book Review and Prayer for my Mom

I just finished reading "V is for Vengeance". I loved this book. It makes my list of one of Sue Grafton's best. So if you are looking for a good book this is the one to choose!

On to more serious matters, my Mom found out today she has breast cancer. A lump was found last month in her routine mammogram exam. She had biopsy last Tuesday. Today she got the results it is cancer, it's real small about 4mm. She has a chose of having a lumpectomy or mastectomy. With chemo or radiations depending if its in her lymph nodes. I am asking prayer for her at this time and also for my dad since he is not in the best of health.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I've always have been fascinated by Bonnie & Clyde. My friend Theresa's husband got me this postcard while in Laughlin. Top car is Bonnie & Clyde's.The bottom one was Al Capone's then later restored by Dutch Schultz.

Acorns

I made these little acorns for my book club tomorrow night. The book we read had a grove of trees so I thought these would fit right it with the book.
I made a much smaller amount than recipe. I didn't need a bunch left over that I had to eat. lol
