For these I am Thankful!

We celebrated Thanksgiving at Jim and Cari's. They hosted a lovely dinner with great food including the Turkey and stuffing they made. We brought some sides along with my mom. I kept saying all day that I was most thankful that I did not have to host since I had to work in the evening. Thanks Jim, Cari and the boys for a great (though too short) time.

Can you tell I'm trying to get our Christmas cards ready??
I'm so proud this year that I have them ordered before Dec. 1st!!
I have been in such a crabby mood with all that is going on around our house, with work, and just the busyiness of life. It seems that every year Christmas gets started earlier and earlier and sometimes that just makes me mad. I have decided this year to try to embrace it (even though I still don't like it before thanksgiving). I have brought out my Christmas music, started decorating ( I only have one floor to do this year), and ordered my Christmas cards. Each year I pray that the commercialism of the season will not overwhelm what is the true meaning of the season. We do have so much to be Thankful for that I just want to dwell on that a bit longer.


Sorry I just had to sneak another basement remodel in
