Merry Christmas! Ho Ho Ho






Hello January are you out there? You aren't here at Controlled Chaos because we are still in the Christmas season! I can't even say that I have made an effort to take a Blogging break to focus on those important moments in life. Nope - we have been just too plain busy. I made a pledge that I would read more so I am off to bed to read, but for now here are the pics of the tree decorating. It was the Boys turn to put the star on the tree and he was so excited and proud. Bella did a great job of placing similar ornaments on the same branch and the Hubby, well he was as silly as always. Christmas day to follow!

Thanksgiving and Twister


It was a nice Thanksgiving with family and cosmos! I like Thanks Giving since it does not require shopping in the mall. We had lots of yummy food as usual.









My sister-in-law told the Boy to get a game after dinner so they could play. I bet she didn't expect Twister. Poor thing, what a good sport, Twister after eating and wearing jeans. I bet she will pick the game next time!

Halloween in the Middle












Oh yeah we had Halloween in the middle of my Blogging vacation! We visited family and then we did the trunk or treat at church. They got tons of candy and had lots of fun. My little princess and vampire.

Hershey Park and Rudolph

We went to Hershey Park to see Santa and his reindeer and on the way home we collided with Rudolph on I-83. Needless to say the van won thanks to the hubby who is a much better driver than me. I would have swerved off the road - no doubt!


The most stressful part aside from the deer incident was trying to get a family photo! The Boy is a pro, the girl not so much.
He was trying really hard to coach her during this photo opportunity.
She loves to look somewhere in the distance when taking pictures.
She's pretty good with candid photos. There are buffalo in the background. They have a really big zoo at the park.

I went on this ride about 8 times in a row and Daddy watched.
It was super cold suspended above the park on this ride.

The Boy did not want to go on this ride, but he finally broke down and rode it. He had a blast. We are taking baby steps to get ready for Disney. I think we have a long way to go till we work him up to the Tower of Terror.

Here's the damage. Three Thousand Dollars. We even had a head imprint on the hood.

Pumpkin Antics


This is the first year that we carved our pumpkins early. Last year we put them in bed and quickly remembered that we forgot to carve the pumpkins so we pulled them out of bed and carved them in their PJs. This year was silly pumpkin carving. First they had fun making finger mustaches and then they squished all of the "pumpkin guts" between their fingers. Then the shirts came off and the kids decided the caveman carving of the pumpkins was more fun.

Blah, I mean Ho Ho Ho


I hate Blogger, I was suppose to be posting about the Boy's last soccer game, but alas I keep getting this stupid Bad Request page when I try to upload photos. So, here is my first pass at round 1 of Christmas Cookie baking - what do you think?

Festively decorated sugar cookies
Snicker doodles
Peanut butter cookies with a Hershey Kiss
Magic Bars/7-layer
Chocolate Chip
and some sort of mint cookie.

What is on your baking list? My hubby will have to answer because I am convinced that he is the only person (aside from Julie and Puna) that read this Blog (: Of course his brother is making bacon chocolate chip cookies for his work cookie exchange so we may not want to hear from that side.
