Celebrating the Holidays

Thanksgiving was nice this year.  It wasn't held at our house we went and celebrated over at Casey and Darren's house.  The food was cooked with lots of love and everything was delish!  We then on Sunday went to Drew's cousin Amy's house in Cedar Park to have our 2nd Thanksgiving.  Once again the food was wonderful and made me very tired.  I went back to the house and took a super long nap...it was a great day.

Jessica went to her Aunt's house and has decided that every year she will be the maker of Nana's Sweet Potatoe's.  She followed the receipe that was sent to her from Nana and from what I heard they turned out terrific!

I am not a lover of sweet potatoe's so I will just take everyone's word that they taste great.

Decorating the Tree

Mikey and Hailey helped me decorate the tree.  I should actually say I helped them because honestly they did all of the work.  Hailey had to have all of her princess ornaments at the front of the tree and made it very clear that they weren't to be touched or moved to a different part of the tree.

Hailey is super excited for Christmas and can't wait for Santa to come and visit her.  I now can use the ole', "You better be good or Santa won't come" line.  It whips her into shape real fast. 

Drew was busy over the long weekend putting up the outdoor lights and they look great!

There are not 25,000 imported Italian twinkle lights like the Griswalds, but I love the way the house looks.

What a chore it is to put up those lights.  Up the ladder, down the ladder, stapler jammed, strand goes out, another strand goes out, back to the store...Sure glad I am short and good for nothing when it comes to hanging lights.  I will stick to decorating the inside.
