Traditions....

Hello Superheroes!

The other day we were talking about traditions that take place in our household in December. 

Joe shared about his sister's birthdays.

Kylie shared about celebrating Hannukah.

We heard about bird nests in Christmas trees and other fun things we do in December to celebrate. 

Here are my two dogs, Tucker & Copper, in front of my tree last year! 

In my family we have a few December Traditions. We always have a big "Trim the Tree" Party where family and friends come over for dinner and then to help us decorate the Christmas Tree. We always get new Christmas Pajamas on Christmas Eve and stay in them ALL DAY LONG on Christmas Day! We also celebrate my brother, Dylan's birthday! This year we will be in Disney World on his birthday in his favorite park- Animal Kingdom. I can't wait!

Those are just a few of my December traditions! 

It got me wondering what Holidays do you celebrate in December and what are some of the traditions in your house?

Can't wait to hear about it!

Fall Blogging Challenge #3

Hello bloggers! 

Before I get started on this blogging challenge, let me remind you that responses should be thoughtful. Make sure to edit for spelling, capitals, and punctuation before publishing to the world. 

I hope you are enjoying your time off and are looking forward to getting back together after break. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys again! Today I started a new book and read "Entertainment Weekly". Entertainment weekly is one of my "easy reads"- it's a magazine all about movies and television shows. The magazine has stories about how many of the movies that are coming out shortly have been made. Most recently I read articles about " Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" (the new movie in the Harry Potter series), Dr. Strange (the newest movie in the Marvel universe) and the new live action Beauty and the Beast movie. 


It got me thinking- I LOVE the movies! I love sitting in a comfy chair with my popcorn, Pepsi, and some sort of gummy snack (either Swedish Fish, Sour Patch Kids, or Twizzlers) and entering the world brought to me by the movies. 

Here's my family and I getting ready to see the new Stars Wars Movie. 

I have many "favorite" movies. I have favorite musicals (West Side Story), favorite comedies (Clue), Favorite dramas (A Time to Kill), favorite Disney films (Little Mermaid, Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast), favorite old movies (Casablanca)...well, you get the picture. 

That got me wondering, what are some of your favorite movies and WHY? 

Fall Break Blogging Challenge #2

Hello friends, Remember me! 

Mrs. Dzugan and I enjoying the Magic at Walt Disney world this Summer!

It's time for our second Fall Break Blogging Challenge. Are you up for the challenge?  I can tell you are. 

For this blogging challenge I am wondering- 

What is something fun you've done so far over the break? 

OR

 What are looking forward to doing later in the break? 

My brother and I are going to NYC on Wednesday to see one of our favorite Broadway performers in a limited time show. I am definitely looking forward to this and can't wait for Wednesday to get here. Her name is Kristin Chenoweth and she is probably most famous for being in the Broadway show Wicked. Here she is singing with Idina Menzel (also from Wicked, but also Elsa from Frozen). 

I can't wait to hear from you guys- I miss ya!

Fall Break Blogging Challenge #1

Well hello my friends-

I hope that you have enjoyed the beginning of our fall break. I spent the first day of the break doing what my family calls a "Pajama Day". Basically I was in my pajamas all day! I read a little, cooked a little, watched some TV, and ended the day with a movie (or two-since I didn't have to get up early the next day). 

Today I was a bit more productive but spent a great deal of time reading. I was reading a book that was just getting so good that I couldn't stop. I kept telling myself "one more chapter" but as soon as I finished that "one more chapter" I HAD to read another one! Has that ever happened to you? When I finished the book I felt like I wanted to stay with the characters, in the story, a little longer. I had wished their was a sequel or a movie so that I could keep stay with the characters a little longer- similar to the way I felt when we finished Stone Fox. I was changed by this book and the characters just like we all were when we read the last chapter of Stone Fox. 

That got me wondering- What book are you currently reading? Are you enjoying it? What makes it a good book? 

Can't wait to check out your responses!
