Thanksgiving gone and Christmas around the corner...
With the family gone, we spent Thanksgiving Dinner with our dear friends The Iserhott's. Even with Angie's parents, Aunt and Cousins visiting, she invited us to join in the fun. She made a fantastic dinner and we had a good time playing games and enjoying that good ole' Iowa Company.
I hit Black Friday hard. Yep, got out of bed at 4:00 am thinking it would be easy to hit Kohl's right away...not so true. It was slammed pack at 4:00 am. Gave up there around 4:45 and headed to the mall, where there was NO ONE and enjoyed wandering thru Old Navy, Macy's and others. I then headed to Target, a little worried, but was pleasantly surprised at the lack of people. I got what I needed and had a nice time wondering around thinking of Christmas.
Now, I'm busy baking this weekend and reading my annual Christmas Novels. Right now I'm in the midst of this year's Debbie Macomber Christmas story -- recommend it to anyone. Next it will either be Jeff Guinn's The Great Santa Search or A Very Merry Christimas - Lori Foster's collection of Christmas romance stories :)

Family Time
The weekend before Thanksgiving I had my wonderful family here visiting... We had a Wonderful time and always, always love being together and have some really good laughs, it's just so unfortunate it is only once a year. I love you all and miss you terribly.

It's been too long...time to catch up...
It's been a while and, of course, there are things to catch up on.
Riley turned NINE! Holy Cow, a big 9. It's amazing how fast the nine years have gone. He is truly an amazing kid and we have enjoyed every minute of it.
To celebrate he had a slumber party with 5 friends. The big event he wanted to plan was tag team wrestling match in the front yard. They all had a great time. We ate pizza, cake, lots of snacks and soda and the boys stayed up until about 2am.
