If they were giving out prizes for the best screen scream, Janet Munro as Roberta in The Swiss Family Robinson would get my vote. A very close second would be Faye Wray in the original King Kong.

My life continues to be full of wonderful busy-ness this month. Good times with friends and family, decorating for Christmas, wishing for snow (finally got some again!), shipping Etsy orders, sipping hot cocoa, and crocheting while watching The Bishop's Wife, Christmas in Connecticut, and White Christmas (among other Christmas favorites - we haven't watched my very favorite yet, It's a Wonderful Life).
Life also includes looking for my first "real" job. I've never worked outside the home, and after much thought and prayer I've decided it would be beneficial for me to have the experience of "going to work" under my belt. Right now, at the suggestion of a friend, I'm looking into working at a florist shop. Doesn't that sound perfectly delightful?! It's so me, too. I love designing things and I love flowers. So, last Monday I drove downtown, took a deep breath, strolled into a shop and asked for a job. They don't have any openings right now, but they did give me an application to fill out and return. I'll admit to being ridiculously proud of myself for being so brave. That sounds rather pathetic, but it was a big deal for little, formerly homeschooled, shy me. And do you know what? It felt good. Being stretched beyond your comfort is a good thing sometimes.
:grin:
Enough talk though - here are a few pictures from our last Game Night, thanks to Kellie and Algy.
This was during our "snack time" when we sang Happy Birthday to Mandy and Matthew. Alex found this frankly awesome Incredible Hulk children's board book at the used bookstore. He thought it would be the perfect gift for Matthew. And it was. Especially when Alex started reading it aloud to him.
My brother is awesome.
Happy Trails, folks!
Question: What are some of your favorite games to play with your family or friends? Do you prefer board games or action games? I want to know!

| Kellie has this knack of taking candid pictures right as I'm "chewing" in my lip. I've got to break that habit...;) |
We had a marvelous evening playing Pictionary, a new game called George, and Balderdash.
The Lord has blessed me with so many wonderful friends. Each and every one of them are so special.
Happy Trails, folks!
