November 2007

Well, I have a little catching up to do. I truly do want to keep this as a record of the things going on in our lives but I have not been very good at that. So the next few posts will be my attempt to catch up from November 2007 to Feburary 2008.

November was a good month for us. I can't not remember the little details, which is the whole reason I started this blog, so I will mostly talk about Thanksgiving.

I enjoy Thanksgiving so much because God has blessed Brian and I by having families that get along. Every year for the last 5 or 6 years we have had Thanksgiving at our house. My mom and sis come and Brian's mom, dad, brother and sister and now her husband come. It is great!!! I get up early and cook all day long, which is something I love to do. It is a very normal day even with all family members present. This year was just as wonderful even though we missed Chris, he was with his fiance for her birthday. There was not much out of the ordinary this year except a little snow. Our Thanksgivings are usually not very ordinary they have included my mom's coworkers from Germany, another included her friends from Africa, and one year we had a reenactment of the first Thanksgiving. Half of our family are true Native Americans and they wore homemade headdresses thankfully no pilgrim apperal was worn. (I tried to find the picture but that was before our digital camera but if you come over the picture is still on the fridge.) But this year Thanksgiving was quite subdued. Noah enjoyed all the fixings but was not crazy about the snow.
(I apparently do not have any of the photos of us in the snow so if my mother-in-law or sis-in-law read this send them to me so I can add them to this post.) I will include some of the photos from the Friday after Thanksgiving (if I can get it to work). Noah, Brian, and his family went to the Gaylord Texan. I did not I was rocking out at the Kelly Clarkson concert with my sister.

Anyways, I am hoping to catch up on December tomorrow.
