graces room

i helped my buddy Debi with her baby's room - little Grace! Debi's husband Justin & Danny went to the Steelers game so got to do baby stuff!

Debi wanted a princess look BUT not scream princess. we went to jo-anns and got some sheer stuff and lots of ribbon. We also got the G R A C E letters, painted them white and put pink polka dots on them! way cute. they painted the room pale yellow with cherry furniture and the cutest pink/yellow animal/polka dot bedding with matching lamp and things. this really tied the room together.

We put the sheers also over a window on the other side of the room. anyhoo - not being a girly girl, i still think its cute - mission accomplished. ** click the pics to see them better PLUS the pics are off the blackberry so not that great **

a corrigan christmas

we had a great holiday this year. we had a super time at my moms annual xmas eve party. christmas morning we opened our gifts, then the brothers and mom came over for breakfast and more gifts. then as always, we head to my dads so again more gifts (hey im not complaining....) and dinner. we got cash from my dad instead of presents so can you say new flatscreen for the livingroom - heck ya! lots of food this year....that new wii fit is going to come in handy.

we hope our friends had a great holiday with their friends and family too!!! 2009 is around the corner.....

will 2009 bring one of these?

moms gingerbread man forgot his pants....

Jason got some light reading for "his office"

football and holiday cookies

Sunday was cookie day. Danny is a hardcore christmas cookie maker but this year was tame compared to past seasons. My mom got him an apron that looks like santas jacket and oh yes he wore it but would break my legs if i took a picture of him in it. But you know Id wear AND get a picture in it for sure! we made those marshmellow/cornflake wreaths, chocolate cookies with peanut butter chips, and loads of sugar cookies. thats all. we didnt send any out this year so we didnt buck wild but that just means next year GAME ON.

Parker was helping dad.

Its wouldnt be a Corrigan Christmas without sugar cookies in the shape of baseballs, duh!

Parker posed by the fire for us...what a good girl.

zoo light averted...

so we were supposed to go to dinner then the zoo for some animals, xmas lights and ice skating but the line to just get in the parking lot stretched for miles! Forget that! so we turned around and hit up a bar....drank entirely too much but had fun. wish we saw the zoo - maybe we'll give it another whirl when its not a saturday night :)



KIDS: do not drink in the back of the car....

Wii in the Workplace

Today I decided to throw Julie a Jul-Wii Birthday Party. We picked up Chipotle, I brought in a TV and we hooked up the Wii! What a stress reliver! I think we miht all pitch in and buy one for the studio!
