Wal-Mart - I have spoken poorly of Wal-Mart in the past, b/c it is such a monopolizing chain; however, the customer service at the one nearest where we live is very good; the produce and deli dept's are fresh; the selection is dependable throughout; and I don't spend an entire paycheck when I go (only about 1/2 of one :). Sunday Football "Tailgates" - Even if it is just our family of 4! Christmas day afternoon/evening we enjoyed a good 'ol tailgate, with family, and had a great time; however, it is also fun to do it, just the 4 of us! We snacked during yesterday's AFC/NFC Championship Games, and these are some of the good recipes I used: http://www.food.com/recipe/curried-crab-asparagus-cheesy-tofu-dip-64386 http://www.food.com/recipe/crock-pot-buffalo-chicken-dip-266810 http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/99/Black_Bean_and_Corn_Salsa19618.shtml SeaPak Popcorn Shrimp - Our kids love this. Avery, especially, since she has learned that her "pet" penguin Cocoa (this is a stuffed animal she received from her Gma and Gpa for Christmas, that is VERY loved :) "eats" Krill.

Urban Outfitters - such a unique clothing and home decor store. Brian had much patience, while I carefully inspected each item in it, this past weekend! The Buckle - Praise to you, as you are one of the only stores Brian seems to have success in finding the right size of pants, jeans, and shirts at (even though you are over- priced!) Lotion - Any good brand will do right now, and lots of it, as Bryton and my hands and lets get ridiculously dry - itchy legs, cracking hands - this time of year. Spaghetti Taco's - Our kids eat them ravenously - yes, it is spaghetti in a hard shelled taco, topped w/ cheese. Thank you, I-Carly! Radio Disney - Gets me To and Fro, with happy kiddo's who love music!

Happy 2012!

The kids went to a movie and then "Wii" partied w/ Grandma, while Brian and I went out in Madison with a big group of friends...so all in all, we had a great time ringing in the New Year! Cheers to the start of 2012 :) And make sure you make your New Year's Resolution(s) - or "Winter's Revolution" as Avery would call it (yes, I must start writing down Avery-ism's, b/c they pop out daily!)
