Edit

This is for you Carole! I don't know how to go back and edit in a picture I forgot in my last post, so I'm just going to do a new one for this picture! I know Stevens aunt Carole checks out the blog and in my Thaksgiving post I some how forgot to put in this picture with Nana and Grandpa Jerry! I know she would like to see them, so here you go Carole! :)

Nana, Grandpa Jerry, cousin Erich, dad-in-law Lynn, and Steven all hanging out before the feasting!
Okay, that's it for the Thanksgiving weekend! :)

So very blessed....

I have lots to update from our Thanksgiving weekend! We've had a lot of fun the past few days...so here is a little recap.
We had Thanksgiving dinner with Steven's side of the family, so we went over to my parents house to visit with them for a while in the morning before we headed over to Stevens aunt Robins house for our Thanksgiving feast. (Love the fact that both our parents live in the same town as us so we can see both families for the holidays!

This is a picture of my cute mom with Turbo...just hanging out at their house that morning, watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Steven checking out the adds for all the Black Friday sales. He was doing his very best to not watch the Parade on TV, hes not much of a parade kind of guy :) I didn't get any pictures of my dad and brothers while we were there, they had been out fishing most of the morning...by the time they got back I forgot to get a few shots of them.

Charlee taking a nap on my parents floor, with his toy close by of course!


Here is a new "baby bump" shot of my growing belly. I think its funny how big my butt looks in this shot, I think it was a mixture of how I have my hands and the shirt I was wearing...or maybe its just my butt getting bigger? I'll go with the first thought ;)



One of Steven and I together, as you can see Steven was really into having his picture taken, lol!




We had to borrow my brothers truck that day for some tools and things Steven was getting. We forgot about the fact that Charlee can't fit into the cab with us so we had to use motorcycle tie downs to tie him up in the bed of it, he wasn't very thrilled, but Steven and I got a good laugh about it. And it got him home safely.



We are now over at Stevens aunt Robins house, this is my mom-in-law cutting the turkey, my mouth was pretty much watering at this point! We had soooo much good food!!


The tables that cousin Emma decorated so nicely...they were very festive. And that is Skylars face in the corner of the pic.


The other table...unfortunately I didn't get any shots of us gathered around the tabling eating all the good food! I'm still working on my picture taking skills ;)

My brother-in-law Devan some how climbed up to this built in wall shelf thing, so had to get a shot of him being goofy!

My sis-in-law Cassandra helping with the after dinner clean-up...always a fun time.

Robin, Emma Mae, Emma-Leigh, Devan (looking oh so happy), Thomas and Steven hanging out after dinner.


Another after dinner hangout picture, everyone resting after filling their belly's! It was a really good day with lots of good food and good company. I have so much to be Thankful for in my life, I am a very blessed girl!

My mom and I at the beginning of our traditional Black Friday shopping!! We didn't start till about 8am, so we weren't too crazy this year. We started out here in town got some good deals at Target and then headed down to Roseville to do our traditional meet up with my aunt Joanne and my cousins for lunch and some shopping at the Galleria!

Here is a group shot of all of us at the food court having lunch. It's always so fun to see all the girls since we don't get to very often.
We got a lot of shopping done that day, found some good deals and had a lot of fun! I got a really good start on my Christmas shopping and don't have much left to buy! yay!



Saturday we got the tree up and all the Christmas decorations!! I love this time of year and the warm feeling I get with all the lights everywhere! I am feeling the Christmas spirit! I know this is a very blurry shot, I am a horrible photographer and our camera isn't the greatest, but I wanted the flash off so you could see all the lights on the tree.

So here is another shot with the flash on so you can actually see the tree and the decorations around the piano. I'm still working on my decorating skills but I think it turned out pretty good.


Gotta get one of Charlee with his new sweater on, he has such short hair he gets so cold in the winter! He loves wearing his sweater!

These are my newest additions to my decorations, they are so simple, but I love them! I love how the light illuminates through the glass, so pretty!

Yes, another bad photographer shot, I was trying to get me in there by the tree so you could see how excited I am, but it's dark, oh well! haha, you can all use your imaginations.

The Game Of Life! Our newest game addiction, we played this several times over the weekend, don't know what it is, but we love this game!

Another shot of Charlee with is his new toys...let me tell you this dog gives us all kinds of entertainment!

Steven was trying to teach him to catch his toy in the air, as you can see he has some practicing to do. He is up high and his toy is already half-way down his back, lol! He did finally get it a few times though.

One last shot at the end of the day of my two boys. We had a really good Saturday, Steven got a lot of much needed yard and garage work done while I got the house cleaned and the decorations out. That night we did a few errands together had some dinner and then hung out with Stevens brother Thomas and his wife Cassandra for a while. All in all it was a great weekend!
We have lots going on over the next month, I'm gonna do my best to have my camera with me so I can keep you all updated with all the happenings! So check back often and happy holidays!!
