I guess maybe a boy with baby number four someday. . .if we survive three that is. :) Poor Adam - he's getting more outnumbered every day!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

Gingerbread House Fun

On Sunday, almost all of Adam's family was in town, so we decided to do a gingerbread house contest. If you know the Grover's at all, EVERYTHING turns into a contest. It does make things a little more interesting at times. :) So we all had about 3 hours to decorate our gingerbread before a unbiased neighbor agreed to come over and be the judge.

Here's what we came up with:

Adam and I had so many troubles with our house! First it started with us accidently cutting windows on the roof of the house instead of on the side walls (they turned into dormer windows), and then our frosting was just plain too hard and nothing wanted to stick to it. Finally, after one wall caved in, we found a toy truck to put into the wall, put a fake tea light inside, and dubbed our house, "crash and burn." Surprisingly we took 3rd. Jandy (sister-in-law) took the gold and the grand prize. They were all really good though, but I'm not sure Adam's parents will volunteer their house next year to decorate in. We sure made a HUGE mess, but it was fun!!!

Heidi and Brad - We MISSED you guys! Maybe next year!?!?! And thanks Mardie for our super cute Christmas aprons you made us. They worked very well in this messy adventure.

12 Days

I promise you won't be disappointed if you watch this! It's laugh out loud funny! I stole it off of my sister-in-law's Megan's blog - forgive me Megan! :)

Mute my Christmas music at the bottom first!

First Snow

Yea! We woke up this morning to the first snow of the year. Though I don't enjoy the slick roads, I do enjoy snow - especially when Christmas is around the corner! (BUT when it's May and it's STILL snowing - I start getting really grumpy about it!) My girls were thrilled to say the least. They stared at it out the window for quite awhile this morning, and then made a run for it outside around 11:00. They were pretty mad at me when I dragged them back inside kicking and screaming because they weren't properly dressed. Time to go dig out their snow clothes!

Thanksgiving Pictures

Thanks so much to Adam's cousin CANDACE for the awesome dinner on Thanksgiving and all my family (and Mardie the turkey was perfect!) for putting together Thanksgiving the next day. Both dinners were fabulous! WE had a GREAT time! I could get used to having two Thanksgiving's every year!
