Happy Thanksgiving! now onto Christmas!

This was Gaston's first ever Thanksgiving! Here he is feasting away..I think he likes this holiday!

As for us human folk, we went for something a little more upscale. I made this delicious 4 layer pumpkin cake and some two bite pumpkin pies. YUM! It was so pretty, I had to take a picture !

Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, it's time to start getting ready for Christmas- my other favorite holiday! I painted these whimsical ornaments for the tree at work. The shop colors are lime green and purple so these fit right in!

There they are nestled into our fun little tree. Who doesn't love decorating the tree, I want to know? With some sweet Duke Ellington Christmas tunes in the background, pretty garlands and well, I , might have been dancing around while I was decorating...guilty.

After all that turkey, Gaston needed a bath to get all the gross turkey grease off his little precious face. He did not approve of this idea to say the least..haha, too bad Gaston!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving full of family, friends, laughter, and love.

Super Easy No Bake Cake

I made the most amazing cake and I didn't even have to light the oven. You're gonna love this in the summer heat. All you need is a box of instant chocolate pudding (the bigger size box or two small sized boxes), milk, and graham crackers!

First, make the pudding according to the directions on the box and let it set in the fridge.
Meanwhile, lay out a single layer of graham crackers in a baking pan (I used 9x13 pan). When the pudding is ready, spread a layer of it on top of the crackers (approx. 1/8" thick). Put another layer of crackers and pudding. Keep layering until you run out of crackers and put the remaining pudding on top.

Stick the pan in the fridge for the night and tomorrow you'll have a moist, delicious treat! The pudding soaks into the crackers and makes them soft! It's really cool, try it!

As for movies, this week I saw Extraordinary Measures with Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser.  It was about a man trying to find a cure for his children's disorders before their time is up. This movie bored the pants off me. There is nothing more to say but: Thumbs down.
