Happy New Year

I believe that New Years Eve is over-rated. I am not a big party person, so I decided to have my own party. I invited my friends over for a fun night of Fondue & playing on the Wii that Santa brought the fam. It was a great night! We stuffed our faces, played Mario Kart (I discovered I can't play this very well), and Guitar Hero World Tour. We rang the new year in with Martinelli's and freezing on my porch watching the fireworks all over the valley. I am grateful for my wonderful family and friends. It was the perfect way to bring in the new years...with the ones I care about!

Merry Christmas

The annual Alexander Christmas Party was at our house this year. It was a lot of fun seeing and catching up with everyone. I think my mom was excited that we have a house that everyone can fit in now, we just didn't have enough chairs. You had to be 40 or older to sit on a chair. We traded white elephant gifts this year. My dad got a great picture of Uncle Tim in his Uof U gear at a game. My mom got a Twilight poster. They were hot items among the family. Of course, Tim & Sheila won the hat contest. The kids got some fun gifts in the traditional fish pond game. I look forward to next years party. FYI: I just finished updating my entire Europe trip, so check out my England, France & Italy posts. (They are back-dated.)

Halloween

I have found my camera! After being lost for 6 weeks, I found it in my room, of all places. I hid it very well! So, here is my Halloween. I decided to make my costume this year, since it is so hard to find a modest one. I was a butterfly. Ashley & I made our skirts, wings and our attenae. I think we turned out pretty cute! I have to say, don't go to a singles dance with giant wings!!!

Here is my mom's costume. It came from her favorite place. Bailee was a cute kittie. Jen decided to be a butterfly as well. It was a bug theme this year.

This was Andrea, Ashley and I at Witches Night Out at Gardner Village. It was super fun and I would recommend going next year. We used our cute skirts and made hats. It was a cold and fun night!

FYI

So am I still updating and adding pictures from my Vietnam & Europe trips.I am back-dating them, so check my "old" posts if you want to see them. My camera is also missing at this moment in time, so I can't add anything new :(

TWILIGHT

I know there are many of you out there that love Twilight, so I know you won't think that I'm crazy for posting this. I absolutely loved reading the Twilight series. I love fantasy and romances, so you combine the two and I was in la la land. Not having a current love interest/crush I need to live vicariously through books & movies. So reading about Edward & Bella falling in love was a great getaway. It really reminds you of when you fell in love for the first time...aahhh memories.

I have to say the I wasn't in love with the cast when it was first announced. I was worried about the movie and wasn't sure I wanted to see it. I just have to say I LOVED IT! I am now in love with Robert Pattinson. He did such a good job! I want a guy to look at me the way he looked at Bella. And he can sing, play the piano, and play the guitar in real life- Yummy! I will end my silly post, but I had to add some pictures where Edward had some great facial expressions.

I am now selling Scentsy products. They are a wickless, smokeless, and flameless candle. They are heated with a 25 watt light bulb, so they are not a fire hazard. The wax does not get hot enough to burn children or pets. The wax also doesn't evaporate, so when the scent runs out you just dispose of the wax in your garbage. There are many different warmers and scents to choose from. The wax bar lasts 50-80 hours.

If you would like to host a party you can earn free and 1/2 off products. If you would like to have a "safe scent" party or sell this great product yourself, let me know. You can check out everything and order throught my website: www.scentsy.com/18118. If you would like to see a catalog or have questions, call me 910-9797.
