ho, ho, ho, i'm hu-hu-hungry

sorry, but everytime christmas rolls around, i think of that fruity/cocoa pebbles commercial where fred flintstone and barney rubble are singing and whatnot. do they even still air that one? they should.

so it's christmas time. we didn't even make it until after thanksgiving before the christmas decorations went up.

please try to ignore the fact that mary is pantless. she refused to wear any with her awesome onesie, courtesy of Kara (that was gifted to mary over a year ago). it says: "dear santa, i've been good all year. just ask my mommy"

videos, as usual for me, are not uploading. so we'll try it again later.

that and pretty sure mary has croup. again. i can hear her coughing herself silly in her room *cries* my poor m&m. i must go and comfort her...

oh my goodness!!!!

WE'RE FAMOUS!
ok, so not really, but check us out on the gabbafriends.com site. scroll down a few pictures and you'll see us in all our YGG glory, including a little blurb i added in the email to the gabbafriends people. hehe

just an fyi

i've been trying to post videos on the blog for awhile. valerie gave me the tip of using windows live writer or some such thing that i'm trying to figure out. until then, brent and i have created a youtube account and i am uploading some there. here's the link, which i'm hoping works. go check it out if you have the time and inclination. i know we enjoy watching mary's antics. you might too.

spook tacular halloween

i count this year as mary's first "real" halloween because she was able to walk door to door and say "trick or treat" and "thank you" for all the candy she got. as far as first halloweens go, it was close to perfect.

despite mary not wanting to nap and being cranky for half of the day.

and when she refused to put on her foofa hat and let us take pictures of her.

or when she yelled and cried at the poor lady who tried to give her a bag of microwaveable popcorn instead of candy (seriously, she yelled and refused to thank her for something that was definitely not candy, despite her love of popcorn.).

or having bruises on my thigh from where the box rubbed against me (i think i bumped into something to create those tho...i did have to waddle a lot to move around).

here are many pictures to take a gander at. notice mary has two ba

gs with her. she refused to leave the house without both. i think she was hoping she'd get more candy that way. she was right. after hitting up great gma koz's house and getting half the bowl of candy, she needed the second bag. the first was too heavy to carry

brent felt a little awkward about being dressed up in the orange dj lance rock get up, but the following day, i was sent this:

i showed it to brent and now he feels better. in case you don't recognize him, that's brad pitt. and if the great brad pitt can suck it up and sport some fabulous orange wear, so can brent. plus mary loved it. a lot.
