Turkey Madness.

I'm still slacking on my blogs a bit, no pictures to post...sorry. I'll get some tomorrow
when I'm not stuffing my face with food. Speaking of stuffing faces with food...
We went out to eat for Mom's Bday. We ended up going up by C.J. and Rachel.
Mom choose to eat at Red Robin so everyone met there and then the girls went
shopping at the mall and we stopped by hobby lobby (of course). I got these
cute little red bags with white polka dots. They're too sweet, they kinda flare out at
the top, not the usual square shape. I'm going use them to deliver Christmas
cookies to nearby friends. I can't believe in a few short days we will be in December.
Isn't that craziness!!?!?!

This year we're having Thanksgiving dinner over at my house. Jimmy's parents,
my parents and John and Susan will be here. My brother is going to Rachels families
house. It will be a little sad with out him. Thats the thing about getting married and
all that, you have to split up the holidays between each others families. A lot of times
the girl ends up winning out on more of the holidays with her family because we're
a little more emotional and sentimental about things like that (in a lot of cases).
But my brother has always been one to want to be with his family during the
holidays so it will be interesting to see how they decide to split up things so it's
fair for the two of them, ecspecially when children come along. Heehee...
I have heard some couples have Thanksgiving one year with one family then
the other gets Christmas for that year then the next year they switch. Jimmy has
a small family on his side so I haven't had to give up much on my families side. We
were skipping out on Christmas eve service at the church for years but last year we
went. I just missed it so much, I'd always gone growing up. I think we'll go again this
year if the weather is ok. It just makes for a later night but Kaylee and Nathan
are older now so it's not as big of a deal. I am really excited for the Holiday season
though! So anyhow, back to Tday... I hope I don't screw up anything. I'm in charge
of the Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatos and gravy. My mom is making a fruit salad,
a dessert, and green bean casserole, John and Susan are bringing home made rolls
and pudding and Jimmy's mom is bringing the pies! Yay for food! I'm going to
finish cleaning the house tonight and make a batch of chex mix. Then tomorrow
I'll stick Mr. Turkey in the oven around ten while watching the Thanksgiving
parade with Kaylee and Nathan which is something we've done every Thanksgiving
together since our Napier house. I'll post pictures and a blog about the happenings
at some time in the next few days. Then we're all set until the first weekend in
December when we'll be heading up North to the Great Wolf Lodge for some
family fun!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
