Thanksgiving !!!

What a great week it was although short. We spent Thanksgiving with my family on Thursday and I did all the cooking and Baking and the food was great however the turkey almost didn't make it when my fathers 50 yr old roaster finally retired, but alas my dad had another so we finished roasting in the stove and everything turned out great to the point that we all were stuffed. Even Ashtyn enjoyed it more this year. Then in the evening we went over to Todds Family's house to spend time with that side of the family and do a white elephant exchange which was fun and after we all ate and enjoyed the company of cousins, aunts, uncles,moms and dads. It was such a great time that by the time we got home that night we were tired. All in all it was a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Friday Black Friday what a fun day. We got up early and got ready to go shopping before we were supposed to get our christmas pics taken however instead I rescheduled and we just shopped and hung out since I was not feeling very well but by the late morning early afternoon I was doing better. We had so much fun shopping and went out for breakfast. The deals we got were great and we are enjoying our Christmas deals and my Shopping is almost done but I should be finished by the next weekend or so. I love this time of year and always look forward to Christmas and singing holiday carols and watching Rudolph, Frosty, and White Christmas a million times and since Ashtyn is into Rudolph this year I know she will have fun too. I also love decorating the tree and wrapping presents and of course Baking all of the goodies I am about to start on this month. If you have a request for chocolate cheese fudge or Rum cake or any other yummy goodies let me know. I also love to go with the Family to Temple Lights which we have done sunday and will be going again on Friday night and next sunday night. I enjoy walkin gthe Temple grounds it is so joyful and peaceful. We will also be doing Zoo Lights Saturday which is so much fun every year and in about a week or so we will be doing Christmas at Schnepff Farms which is a total blast. Wow so much going on and the joy of seeing Family. I love the Holidays!!
