It's been a long time....

Nothing really exciting to write about lately I guess. Just been busy trying to get shopping done, getting ready for thanksgiving(which was great, more later) and working.

I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping. For Sophia at least. I have a few things I still need to get Connor and then I have our respective grab bags. I also have my parents and my grandmother to buy for. I should have it all done by this time next week. Hopefully.

I've also started working on my Christmas cards. I had photo cards made from snapfish. I took the picture of the kids. They came out great!! I can't wait for everyone to get one. :)

Thanksgiving was great! We went out to my mom's on Wed night. Thurs morning we got up and started getting everything ready. Sophia was so excited that she was at up 6:30 with Grandma making the turkey. Grandma even let her have ICE CREAM for breakfast. I swear my mom does not know the word no with that girl!

We all had a great time. The guys did some skeet shooting. We played pool and hung out with my brother and my nephews. My sister, Michelle, had brought stuff for the kids to make ornaments. Sophia had a blast with that. Connor could care less. He was more interested in the dinosaurs Grandma got him.

Friday was nice because everyone that was there on Thurs were gone. So we just hung out and played cards and watched tv. We were supposed to go home Fri night but we started playing a game and next thing we knew, it was 9pm!! So we stayed another night.

The rest of the weekend was pretty uneventful. We put our Christmas tree up Sunday afternoon. It looks nice. We're going to put the other tree up downstairs and let the kids decorate it how they want to! :) That should be interesting. Sophia and I made ornaments for it. She wants to put multi colored lights on it and multicolored ball ornaments. Then we are going to string popcorn and cranberries to put on it! It will be nice because we're having Christmas eve here so we'll have a tree to decorate the basement during the party!

Well Sophia is waiting on me to watch a Christmas movie.
