A Halloween Christmas...

Christmas is so close & we can hardly wait! We’ve had a busy weekend full of Christmas Fun!! Saturday we spent the day decorating Christmas houses and baking treats. Now…you may notice these aren’t your “typical” Christmas Gingerbread houses. These are actually Chocolate Cookie houses…and they may or may not be ment for Halloween décor. Once you throw out the ghost & bats and add in some colored icing and candy…who can really tell the difference? I’ll tell you who can’t…the Brandt kids ;) The kids seemed quite content to decorate & quality test the candy decorations. Gav didn’t want to decorate at first, but the girls were having a blast and tempted him to join in! He did steer clear of all baking activities though. Luckily Auntie Mikey came over to lend a hand. Let me just say…making rice krispie treats into shapes is WAY harder than it looks. I’ve scratched it from the list of activities I’ll do again…the cookies however, were definitely a hit!

Birthday Bash Numero Uno

Pretend It's January 5th, 2013 It's Birthday Season here at the Brandito Lair! Mr. Brandt heads back tomorrow and it's time for the annual triple treat birthday party for Mr. B, Uncle Danny and Annabelle. Katy made 2 delicious cakes for the event. The boys got their own green cake and Annabelle got her own special Mario Cake. We had some delicious food and the Birthday people got lots of special prizes! The UnBirthday Party was definitely a success!

Baby You're A Firework

One of these outfits was self chosen....the other was chosen by Mama...can you guess which is which? Happy 4th of July everyone!! It was a rainy 4th for us Floridians. But with the rain comes cooler temperatures, and I'll take a little wet over sweat any day. We started the 4th off by sleeping in (which of course still means we were up by 9...) and then cooked out with the Brandt/Simmons clan for lunch. We'd planned to go to the Riverwalk area too take part in the crafts and whatnot but once the girls heard Ava was already at Nana's house...they could not be persuaded to do anything that did not include being with her. Cousins It was overcast and cloudy all day, but we did manage to escape most of the rain. Until the fireworks that is. I'm talking lite...

Wackiness

It's wacky hat day at PRE today. Only Annabelle felt inclined to participate as it costs 2 feathers. Heaven said it was a "total waste of feathers" and Gavin said nothing as his only hat is a Seminole hat and he's gone rogue lately claiming suppot for Gators. My dear Annabelle made up for both of their lack of sense & style. She is both Fancy in my large sunhat and Fabulous in her FSU Friday decor. Doesn't get much better. Happy Friday!
