A Late Happy Thanksgiving!

It's taken me a few days to finally get online and update this blog. I sure hope that all of my friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving! For the second year in a row, I was sick. Last year, strep (for the first time in my life) and this year a sinus infection. I ended up at the doctor on Wednesday and she prescriped a Z-pac and rest. I don't get it. I wash my hands constantly, had my flu shot, take a multivitamin every day, eat right and regularly exercise and I still catch crap.

We didn't go out for that Thanksgiving buffet we planned on, Fred ended up fixing our meal here with some guidance from me. My sister and the kids came over and we really enjoyed the meal. Afterwards, we played UNO spin and yelled so loud we woke Fred up from his nap. We also enjoyed watching the holiday movie Fred Claus with Vince Vaughn and Paul Giamatti.

It was such a nice day on Friday and I needed some fresh air that we spent a bit of time in the yard during some winterizing and im hindsight I'm sure glad we did as the weather that came today would have definitely postposed that task.

Saturday was spent very low key, the boys were a big help with the Christmas decorations. They carried the stuff from the basement to the main floor and I took my time going through it and putting our favorites Christmas things out. I pared down this year and I have a big box of stuff to take to the Salvation Army this week. We also did our tree differently. After last year's shenanigans with Kirby and the tree, we are worried about putting up our most fragile meaningful ornaments for fear they will get broke, so I dug into another box and came up with decorations from a tree that we used to put up in the master bedroom. These ornaments really don't have any sentimental value so if Kirby is naughty and knocks the tree over, it won't really matter. We must say that this tree is absolutely beautiful and a nice change from the same tree we've had for almost 20 years.

I've been meaning to post some more of the pages that I've completed over the last month or so.....I did these at a couple of crops that I attended.























Have a great week!
