Thanksgiving in North Carolina

I only took a few photos because Future Uncle Hubby and Aunt Marci were way too busy playing with Marissa and Hailee.

Enjoy the photos!

ANGIE WON MRS DELAWARE AMERICA!!!

Enjoy a few photos!

Susan does some finishing touches on Angie's makeup before the show.

One tired son and one great father and husband (you can't even imagine what pageant husbands go through for their wives :-) The Happy Family after Angie's big win!

The Jersey Connection and me. Susan, Mrs New Jersey United States, and some Mrs. New Jersey United States contestants (Danielle, Kimberly, and Mary) came to support Angela.

Another photo in front of the Christmas Tree!

Former Mrs. Delaware America 2005 (and now Director of Mrs. Delaware America) and Mrs. Delaware America 2007.

What a night! I am so tired and yet still so excited. The competition was very tight. All of the contestants did a wonderful job and the pageant was a pleasure to watch. It was organized and the emcees were terrific. Stage, lighting, and production were all wonderful.

More Christmas Preparations!

This is one of the Christmas gift baskets that I am creating. I was thrilled when I found the crystal ornament that matches the bow. Meanwhile, Soon-to-be-Hubby didn't quite understand why it took me four hours to go shopping at the Wal-Mart that is twenty minutes from the house :-)

AND - THE FINISHED PRODUCT - BEAUTIFUL!

You can see the Christmas Tree through the window even better than the previous photos.

Although my inside decorating is not yet complete, here are some photos of what Soon-to-be-Hubby did outside. You can also see the Christmas tree through the windows, which is lit up inside. The photo with me was taken last Saturday night. The second photo was taken tonight by me. Can you believe it is about 60 degrees here!!

DECORATING FOR CHRISTMAS

Tis the season.  Soon-to-be-Hubby did a terrific job - he purchased the outdoor decorations after we both consulted a few internet websites. As always, Target wins!!! We need to purchase a few more trees. So far though, at night, these pieces look wonderful. There are also icicle lights on the house, but we need to buy more to complete the entire house.

Below is our nine foot Christmas tree - just purchased today! It comes pre-lit (praise the Lord).  Soon-to-be-Hubby put it together, now it is my turn to start the fluffing and decorating process.
