Scissors, Great Dalmuti, & Banana Pudding!

Yay!!! I am blogging again!! Ok, so I am a little behind, but a couple of weeks ago, we went to my aunt and uncle's house in Kennedale. It was going to be a fun weekend of scrapbooking, good family company, games, and of course, food, food, food. I had to share the pics from the weekend. We had a blast and can't wait to go back and do it again! Thank you David, Heather, and Trevor for letting us invade your space in a BIG way for a couple of days! I will explain the pictures as I go.

This is my aunt Heather in our scrapbooking room. As you can tell, we totally take over the room. What a mess!!

This was the horrible mess we made scrapbooking! When we scrapbook, we SCRAPBOOK!!!

The birthday cards I made for my cousin and James Burgess...

And the inside of the birthday cards from above.

A couple of "Thank You" cards I made to have on hand. I am pretty proud of my creations!

Now on to the festivities...

Ahhhh and on to The Great Dalmuti. It doesn't matter where you go, you can always pull this game out and have a good time. From left to right, we have my cousin's wife, Denise, my uncle, David, Chad, of course strategizing, and my aunt, Heather.

My cousin Trevor and his girlfriend Jessica and my other cousin Alan all sitting comfortably at the front of the pack!
My aunt Heather and me. Yes, that would be ME in the Great Dalmuti seat!!!! Woo-hoo!!

Alan had just had a birthday so I made banana pudding with Nutter Butters. It was a new recipe and I wanted to try it but Chad and I won't eat it by ourselves, so I took it so they could help us. Alan is blowing out the candles for his birthday with Chad intently eye-balling that pudding just waiting to dig in!!


I have also included two videos below. I am sorry about the first one because I apparently in all of my infinite wisdom recorded the video sideways, which my husband very quickly informed me was all wrong. That would have been nice to know BEFORE I was holding the camera! Oh well, maybe you will get the idea. Alan has what we like to call his "drunk dance." He wasn't drunk when he did it, but he humored us anyway because he was the lesser peon in the game and his father who was the Great Dalmuti ordered him to do his drunk dance. For any of you that have not played the game, the rules are that the Great Dalmuti can order the lesser peon to do things for them while they are shuffling the cards. If you don't mind looking like a dork at your computer and turn your head sideways, you can enjoy the full effect of Alan's infamous "drunk dance." The second video is Heather's own little version of the drunk dance. A tip to the wise: don't ever get in the lesser peon's seat with my family! They will make you dance! Enjoy...
