Cookie Lee Girl's Weekend!!

Last weekend, I went to CA for a Leadership Conference and the Product Launch of our new Spring/Summer line and it was so amazing!!! It was 70 degrees while we were there and needless to say, we all had so much fun - I was quite sleep deprived by the end of the weekend. I posted some pictures from when we were there. Every time a new catalog comes out, I always say Cookie can't make it any better, but really this time, the new line is just phenominal. Check it out and let me know what you think: www.cookielee.biz/lisaperkins

Snow, Snow and More Snow!

It seemed that there for awhile, we had SO MUCH SNOW that it just would not stop! It snowed a lot while the girls were off for Christmas break and they as well as the dogs really seemed to enjoy it. We did a lot of sledding and finally it has let up a little, but we still have a lot of snow on the ground.

Grammie Comes to Town!!!

It was so fun for the holidays as my Mom/Grammie came for Christmas and New Year's and we had so much fun!!! She was here for almost 2 weeks and the girls loved having her here. We enjoyed lots of 'Hallmark' movies and after Christmas shopping and just getting in some good relaxation and family time. We really missed my Dad and it just was not quite the same, but we made it through. The holidays were definitely a difficult time and I thought of my Dad so much - it really makes you appreciate each and every day you have with those you love. The girls were in 7th Heaven as Santa brought them a Wii with Rockbank and Santa brought me Wii Fit so we all enjoyed that! We got lots of snow while Mom was here as well and with snow drifts at times, we even had up to 3-4 feet - it was ridiculous. WE LOVE YOU MOM!!!

Gingerbread House

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to post all of this, but I wanted to update you. For the first time, we decided to do a Gingerbread House this year and the girls were very excited about it and I think it turned out great!!! It was VERY FUN...

TURKEY...

I really was not sure how to title this one. As many of you have probably seen, we have had turkey's for awhile and back in December they were eating so much and were SO BIG, we decided that it was time for "Christmas Dinner". I know...we never intended to keep them for good, but it was still very hard. It was quite the day as my Mom was here visiting and we made ourselves scarce and Mark had a few helpers and 'spectators' that decided to join in. The turkeys were huge ~ we had 2 'toms' and 1 'hen'. When all was said and done, each tom weighed in at 30-35 lbs and the hen was 25lbs. Quite an ordeal and one I'm not sure that Mark will ever undertake again, but it is definitely an experience that I'm sure he will NEVER forget!!!

FINALLY, my computer is fixed!

Hi everyone - I wanted to let you know that my computer is finally fixed and I will be working to get it updated - so much as happened in the past month. Stay tuned...
