Well, I am finally taking time to post - yea! Maybe it is the fact that I know tomorrow is only a "half-day" of school and then BREAK - I think I am already feeling like I have "free-time."
My parents were recently here for Thanksgiving - what a GREAT blessing over the holiday! I am so thankful for the opportunity God gave us to spend together! We had a great time and enjoyed many fun activities. I can now say that I know how to make a full Thanksgiving dinner. I did the turkey and with mom's help - everything else that goes with dinner. I was especially proud of my Jeff Davis pie - turned out like Grandmas - yea! It was so much fun to learn from mom how to do all the Thanksgiving dinner things! We had a great meal and enjoyed company with friends later!
It was also fun to go with the fellowship group and cut down a tree - it was great fun going out, finding the right one, cutting it down and then coming home to decorate! I am so thankful to have had mom here to help make the house look great! She did a fabulous job! The tree looks great! We will look forward to cutting down a tree next year too! Fun times!
It was a wonderful Thanksgiving and we have been on the go non-stop this December. We are looking forward to some time with Jeremy's family and my family in the coming weeks. God is so good!

It is always good to be with family during the holidays.
Your house is a testament to the Christmas queen, and home to more snowmen than I've ever seen assembled under one roof!
Congrats on your Thanksgiving dinner success. I'm not sure what a Jeff Davis pie is, but I'll take a wild guess it wasn't named after your grandmother.
Enjoy your freedom, and your upcoming trip!
I would like to know more about the Jeff Davis pie -- do tell! :)
The tree looks great and how fun to have your mom there to enjoy it with you.
Hope the Jr. High party went well -- we'll have to read about it on a future post.
