The 84th Academy Awards
As with any other holiday or festival I got dressed up and watched the Academy Awards. It's the superbowl to me. It's the one night where all the gorgeous people get dressed up and look fabulous. How could I not love it? I found some caviar in a small store here in Pennsylvania and decorated the whole house. Here are the pictures.
List of Oscar Best Picture winners I have seen as of February 2012
In January I had seen 39 of 83 Best Picture films. By the end of February I have seen 56 out of 84. I am proud to say that except for 3 I have seen all the Best Picture films up to 1960. As for those 3 I hope to see this week or next. The X's are the films I have seen and the O's are the films Briss has seen. He's seen quite a few more modern films. And I am delighted that The Artist won for Best Picture this year. It was absolutely amazing. Then again, it's just my kind of movie.

Grandma Maynards 80th birthday!
I haven't got all the pictures yet but I will update when I do. These are the pictures I took of Kaellyn playing with all her boy cousins. She's the only girl in her age group.

| Gorgeous cupcakes! |

 |
| Uncle Mike finally snagged some time with her |
 |
| Just because it was 29 degrees doesn't mean you have to lose out on fashion |
