It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!


Hey guys!
  Well Thanksgiving was awesome and I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday as well.  We had everyone over to our house and had a great dinner.  We had fried turkey, lemon roasted chicken, roasted asparagus, potatoes, and carrots, macaroni and cheese, cheesy potatoes, rolls, cranberry sauce and relish, deviled eggs, pumpkin, pecan, and cherry pie, and a triple layered chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream and a dark chocolate ganache. 
                                                                 
   

Yep.....need to work out! The best part was having our family together and having a wonderful time.  So we ate our lunch and everyone retreated home for a deserved nap.  That evening we decided to take down all the harvest/fall decorations and up came Christmas.  All we need to do is the outside, but cant yet until our new roof is up which hopefully will be this week.

So Friday night my mom, Artie, little brother, and his friend stayed the night.  The boys played playstation and we adults played some trivial pursuit....girls vs guys. You know who of course won......GIRLS!!  Saturday morning my mom and Artie took the kids to Chuck E Cheese while Jeff and I did some grocery shopping.  Jeff went to the doctor a few days prior for a sinus infection, but really the doctor was concerned with his blood pressure.  So now he is working on losing weight and we are on a low sodium diet and some BP meds.  This morning was the first normal BP.  Yippee!!  We are all on the get healthy bandwagon! Well, I hope everyone is getting ready for Christmas.  I hope it is a time of remembering the true meaning of Christmas....God's gift of his holy son who saves us.
