Hooray, It's Muffin Tin Monday!

Once again, it's Muffin Tin Monday and my girls are very happy about that! They seriously would eat every meal from a muffin tin, and why not! It's so much fun! You know, I eat my lunch from a muffin tin on Mondays too! So here it is, our muffin tin lunch!

Friend Making Monday

It's time once again for another edition of Friend Making Monday with Amber at {aefilkins}! I had so much fun doing this for the first time last week, so I though I would play along again. It's a great way to "make friends"! So, here we go!

1. Favorite website Well, I am a complete blog addict! So I would have to say my favorite is blogger, but I am also on Facebook quite a bit too!

2. Favorite color Green!

3. Facebook? {Post a link or share your name if you want some new Facebook friends!} I love Facebook and would love some new friends! Please join me here!

4. Favorite Christmas song? Silent Night! I cry every. single. time. I hear it!

5. Christmas tree: Real or fake? Real! We like the whole Griswald experience! Taking all the kids out with us to cut it down. They always look so much smaller in the field!

6. Hottest celebrity? I have to say that I have a slight crush on McDreamy!

7. Favorite restaurant? I don't really have a favorite! We don't eat out much, so any restaurant is good enough for me! LOL!

8. Favorite magazine? Family Fun! They have so many awesome things to do with your kids!

9. Favorite thing to drink around the holidays? Hot chocolate with a candy cane to stir it! Yum!

10. Favorite Christmas movie. I love the Polar Express! But the movie that always kicks off our Christmas season is National Lampoons Christmas Vacation! It still makes me laugh after all these years!

Now it's your turn! Head on over to {aefilkins} to make some new friends!

Wishing For You a Blessed Day!
