My Kids Loved this! Who doesn't love the music of A Charlie Brown Christmas? It never gets old and from the first few notes you know exactly where it comes from. We listened to the whole thing and then they asked if we could put this on when we opened presents Christmas morning. We always play music for our present opening but usually just toss on the music on the cable holiday channel. I love that they thought about this and already have thoughts about what we will listen to Christmas morning.

The 411:
I sat down happily to review this collection of Don's shows including CPO Sharkey. Let me start by saying I am a huge Don Rickles fan. This is a wonderful collection of the best of Don! I know a lot of people know Don Rickles as the voice of Mr. Potato Head in Toy Story but I have been watching him from the past 43 of my 49 years at least.
From the very beginning with Don Rickles, Don Adams, Harvey Korman and that hot guy who I can't remember...It was so fun. Just a bunch of friends sitting in chairs chatting with an audience. It seemed very real, unscripted and funny. This is a great gift for anyone who loves Don or loves comedy. I loved CPO Sharkey. Don played a Navy Chief Petty Officer in charge of new recruits. The running jokes were usually about Don's height as opposed to his assistant Seaman Lester who was very tall. My sisters and I loved this show!

The FANTASTIC FOUR make a triumphant return with MARVEL’s next
generation of heroes — four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate
universe, their physical forms altered in shocking ways. Their lives
changed forever, Reed Richards (“MR. FANTASTIC”), Sue Storm (“INVISIBLE
WOMAN”), Johnny Storm (“THE HUMAN TORCH”) and Ben Grimm (“THE THING”)
must harness their incredible new powers and work together to save Earth
from a former friend turned enemy, the infamous DR. DOOM.
I cannot wait to see this movie. We are huge fans of the Fantastic 4 and while I am sad to see our beloved regulars are not in this one, I am excited to see the new generation.
While you wait for the movie to come out on Blu-ray you can watch it on Digital HD! If you want to wait, how about some activity sheets?
This is a great accessory for my drains especially in my kitchen sink and bathroom sink. My 10 year old has very long hair and has trouble washing it in the shower so I usually scrub her really good at the sink and before her shower. She never really gets all the shampoo and conditioner out on her own. My husband LOVES this product because since we started this kitchen sink thing he has had to unclog the drain over 3 times this month.
This traps the hair allowing none of it to go down AND my daughter says she loves looking at all the little white hearts as I wash her hair. We are using another in the bathroom sink for the same reason. This captures all my husband's hair when he shaves. It is amazing. I don't know if it is because of the heart shapes or because of the size of the heart shapes but if you never had to clean out the bathroom sink you know that hair gets down right gnarly when it is wet and trapped in a sink where everyone spits out their toothpaste. UGH...just the thought.
What we love most: The flexibility of this makes it easy to fit in all drain sizes. My bathroom sink drain is tiny! My kitchen sink drain is really wide and my tub drain is just a hole. It works for all of them.
I remember many years ago before my dear friends moved much further away, whenever I visited they always made French Press Coffee. It was always a good cup off coffee and it seemed that they put that little bit of extra effort into serving coffee. They didn't just toss some water and coffee into a drip pot and hope for the best. There was timing involved with the perfect cup and I felt special drinking it.
It isn't difficult at all as I learned today when I tried to make French Press Coffee for the first time.
You heat up some water not to the point of boiling.
Measure out the coffee grinds. Two tablespoon fulls for every 8 oz of coffee
Slowly poor the water into the press (the coffee grinds may float around but that is OK)
Stir. The coffee will settle
Percolate - Basically this means return the lid which has the plunger already attached. Wait about three minutes and the slowly depress the plunger to the bottom. This will trap all the coffee grinds.
Pour and enjoy!
It is super easy and the coffee tastes amazing.
I can't wait to serve this to friends.

This Moscow Mule Copper is a gorgeous of craftsmanship. I love
everything about it. Really impressed with the mug, the coaster and the
box which my daughter and I fought over.
The mug is a perfect 16 oz. The handle is attached to the outside of the mug securely.
As
if the mug wasn't enough, the packaging is incredible. The mug and a
coaster come in a wooden box with a wonderful clasp that makes it look
antique.
The box is wrapped in plastic and once you open it that
is where you will find the mug which is wrapped in paper, plastic and
then bubble wrap. The coaster is wrapped in paper. All is well protected
for shipping.
Honestly, this is a nice gift for just about
anyone. I am keeping this one for myself and getting my grandfather one
because I think he will love the whole idea of the packaging and the
beautiful 100% copper cup.
The box can be used to hold all kids
of things depending on who is using. I am keeping my Christmas money in
it but I believe Gramps will use his for his glasses.
I know it
seems like I am reviewing the box but it really adds to the presentation
of the mug which is quickly becoming a favorite in my house.

Handsome opened it for us and started reading
We had a blast opening the box and looking at the changes on the cereal boxes.
We LOVE the droids as has every kid that comes over. They will be asking their parents to get these cereals because they want their own collection!
We can't wait to see the movie when it comes out....but until then...May The Force Be With You.

The 411 by Maria:
With all honesty I truly loved this movie. It was everything that a feel good movie is supposed to be. The recipe has been done for ages.
Guy down on his luck needs that one person to make a ripple effect in his life that changes the current course and makes him a better person.
In Where Hope Grows our down on his luck guy Calvin is a single dad with a teenage daughter. I don't think we ever find out why he is a single dad. Did he get custody? Did his wife die?
He has checked out of the game because his baseball career was sidetracked so he isn't being the father his teenage daughter needs right now. She is spreading her wings and giving up on him. Her daddy issues are sending her into the arms of a creepy, older boy who is demanding too much of her.
One day while shopping our Calvin meets his life ripple effect guy Produce a guy with Down's who works in the Produce Department of a store. Produce loves giving hugs and putting smiles on shoppers faces. Calvin and Produce eventually become unlikely friends in the sweetest way. They are good for each other. With some bumps along the way, these two guys start living their best life.
The story line is great. The acting wonder. You will see a lot of familiar faces.
This movie teaches acceptance and compassion of others and that it is never too late to turn your life around.
The teenage daughter played by McKaley Miller stared in Scream Queens and Hart of Dixie.
Our lead guy Kristoffer Polaha was in Life Unexpected and Mad Men
Kerri Smith has a small role but you know him from Dawson Creek and he is still fine even though a silver fox.
Danica McKeller is from The Wonder Years
Brooke Burns is from Melrose Place and Bay Watch...she looks fabulous BTW
AND David SeSanctis who plays Produce is completely lovable in his film debut. This tiny powerhouse has the chops to hold his own with these sitcom titans.
I loved everything about this movie and the ending had me sitting up in my chair praying for all to be well!!!
Most of the movie is family friendly however there are three scenes where a boy is pressuring a girl for more and eventually tries to rape her. Use caution if watching with your children.
Produce: "Even when I am doing bad, I am doing good!"

Excavate your way to victory! Dinosaur bones are hidden just
underneath the surface, and it's your job to Draw 4 of the same type so
they can be assembled back into complete dinosaurs for your exhibit!
Will you go straight for the bones? Or will you risk digging up one of
the random action cards in the hopes of progressing your cause?
(Although it might cost you your turn - OR EVEN WORSE - your precious
dinosaur bones!).
Oddly enough it took us a moment to learn this game but once I got it...it was a snap...
Basically depending on how many people playing you create a playing field of cards. This will be your evacuation area. The goal is to see who gets the most completed dinosaurs on the dig.
The cards are all turned over to reveal either a question mark or some dino bones. The question mark cards are the action cards and the bone cards reveal a dinosaur on the other side. Each dinosaur is made up of four cards and like I said before the goal is to have the most dinosaurs.
Fun game that works on the following skills:
Social Play
Problem Solving
Visual Perception
Memory
