Some of My Favorite Things

Ok, for some reason there have been a few things that have come up within the last few weeks that have really made me super happy, so I thought I would share them with you all today.
Ok first of all has to be 103.7.  This radio station plays Christmas music 24/7!!!!  It is the best, and I have it on in my car every holiday season!
Second, I found the best ever pound cake recipe! It is a cream cheese pound cake and I ate this thing in two days!!!

Third, I found the most comfortable lounge pants in the whole world at Victoria's Secret.  Seriously, they fit perfectly and are so comfy that I may live in them all day!!!

So anyway, these things made me happy and I hope you find some joy in them too!

Trick Or Treat!!!!

So, Jackson's 3rd halloween proved to be the best one yet! (well if you're measuring it by the amount of candy consumed)  We had a great time watching quite a few Halloween specials on tv yesterday, not to mention practicing our  knock on the door and....'TRICK OR TREAT!
Let me give you a little back ground leading up to this spooktacular day.  First of all, we received the gorilla costume about three weeks ago and have been getting our money's worth out of it for sure!  We decided to let Jackson play with it and he has probably been in his costume nearly every day before the BIG day.  He loved it!  We also were wanting him to wear it because he used to be extremely afraid of gorillas and our fear was that he would be scared of it.  So, all that to say that he really loved his costume.  Well, as it started getting dark we told him it was almost time to go trick or treating so we had to get our costume on.  His reply was, 'No thank you. I don't want to be a gorilla today.'
WHAT!!!!  The ONE day that he is suppose to wear his costume, he doesn't feel like it.  Oh great.  Well, after reasoning with him, bribing him and trying everything, we eventually just put him in it kicking and screaming.  He refused to wear the head, but he at least was part of a gorilla.  We went around to a few houses in our neighborhood and then went over to my parent's neighborhood where we hit up a few more houses.  All in all it was a great halloween!  I also had to post some pictures of our halloween party the night before at my parent's house.  Thanks mom and dad for hosting a TERRORIFIC PARTY!  :)

Bahahaha! Darrell and Stephanie you guys rocked the gangsta fo sho!!!

 My mom and dad were cheap Rangers fans.  They had all the gear with all the tags on.  Hehe.

 And here we are.  I was Jess and Joey was me from our college basketball days.  Do you love Joey's wig?  I do want to say that I don't feel the beard really portrayed me in college, but whatever.

Hope you had as much fun with Halloween as we did.  Thanks for reading!!!
