Pictures... Of Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is over... Well, we certainly won't run out of food for a while! :~) We had a really good Thanksgiving dinner. Jamey and I cooked Wednesday night, then I got up early to cook on Thursday. Jamey made some really good sweet potatoes and some very flaky crust for the pies! :~) I also tried my hand at rolls and they turned out alright. We had Turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, cream corn, rolls, green bean casserole, relish tray, cottage cheese salad, carrot and pineapple salad, cranberry salad, pumpkin pie and chocolate pie. After the food it was time for a little bit of a nap... Turkey will do that to you! :~) Later in the afternoon we went over to one of the church members house. They had invited us to come celebrate Thanksgiving with them! :~) We had fun and ate a little.

After the dinners we put up the Christmas tree. It was a lot of fun deciding where all the decorations were going to go... We have a 7 and a half foot fake tree in the living room! It's so pretty! :~) We put some icicle lights in the windows and a wreath on the door. Here are some pics of the decor... One of my favorite pics is the one with Munchkin! :~)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is in two days, but I don't think I'll have enough time to write anything with all the cooking that Jamey and I will be doing! :~) I can't wait! It'll be so fun to cook together and then devour it... :~P

Tomorrow we'll make the things that need to be cold... Then Thursday we will cook the rest of our feast! :~) It'll be different doing the holidays without any family around. I don't think I've ever done any major cooking for Thanksgiving... I did do some last year when we had it with Jamey's family.

Anyway, I need to go do some chores so the house will be clean for Thanksgiving! :~}

Pictures! :~)

I finally got the pictures to upload!! :~) Now you'll be able to see all the beautiful scenery and the colorful leaves!! :~) Just check out Photobucket!

Yes, I'm still here...

I know it's been awhile since I last wrote... We have been a little busy. Jamey did another wedding yesterday! It was a small affair and it was an outdoor wedding... It wouldn't have been so bad had it not been about 40 degrees outside at the time! :~o I was even wearing my warm dress and cape! Everyone was all bundled up and I was loosing feeling in my feet, but it was a lovely ceremony and it didn't last all that long. After the wedding we went to the reception which was inside... So we all warmed up! :~)

I have been trying to clean my house more regularly, but today I felt kinda lazy so I relaxed and did nothing... I was relaxing and watching a movie in our bedroom and when I came out there was Jamey cleaning the kitchen and doing the dishes! :~) He did that so I could relax today! I might be just a little biased ;~), but I think I have the best husband! :~D I also recently started to toilet train Munchkin... I can't wait until I don't have anymore litter to clean up! :~) Just in case you're curious I got the info I'm using from this website.

Jamey and I went on a trip up the mountains to enjoy the fall colors and I took my video camera with us... There are too many pictures to put up here so you can see them on Photobucket. The weather was just perfect and the trees were gorgeous! And the view from the mountains... The pictures just don't do it justice! :~) It was one of the last times that the leaves were actually on the trees! Anyway, we made a day out of it and it was one of the best times! :~) Right now the computer isn't doing what I want... Photobucket isn't letting me put the pics up right now. I'll try to put them in tomorrow! :~}

One last thing... If you want to see one of the cutest nephews in the world check out my sister's blog! :~D

Jamey's Birthday!!! :~)

Well, with all this buzz about the election I totally forgot to post something about Jamey's birthday on here! :~o Since his birthday was Sunday and he had to work, we celebrated on Saturday! It worked out well, cause he was able to sleep in and relax. We got up about 10 am and started with the lemonade cake with candles! :~) Then it was present open time!! He helped me pick out a few of the presents, but I got one that he didn't know about... I went to Wal-mart and picked up the new Three Stooges DVD that's out now. I knew he wanted it, I wanted to have at least one present that he didn't know about! :~P There was one present that didn't come until about 3pm that day... It was the one that I had got from sniping a guy on e-Bay. I was hoping to wrap it, but it did come on Saturday so Jamey could play with it! :~D After that we just chilled. I made fried chicken, potatoes, peas, and biscuits for dinner. :~P We went to Wal-mart for a while then came home and watched a movie. :~)

There aren't as many pics as there might have been had I not had the video camera in my hand! I decided this was a good opportunity to use my birthday present... Yeah, I taped his birthday presents with my birthday present! :~} Oh, I posted some pics if you want to see pics from my birthday... There's not enough room on here for all these pics! :~)

Sunday was Jamey's actual birthday, but we had a lot going on and barely had any time to sit down... First there was service, then we went out to eat at Ryan's. After that we went home to relax a little before we had a wedding shower to go to and Jamey had a business meeting after that. And after all that was over there was evening service... So we were kinda busy that day and too busy to have done anything for Jamey's birthday! :~)
