Preparing for the holidays

So far the holidays have been wonderful, except we missed Pat and Drew terribly. The Thanksgiving craft project took place on the deck this year due to the mild weather, and dinner was a hit. We are busy shopping, decorating, writing the family poem and making menus. Life is good!

Support the Troops!

My cousin JD is finally on his way home from his tour in Iraq!! He'll be home in Alaska in a week or so... so I won't get to see him, but I'm just so excited for his wife and our family... having everyone together again... it's just makes Thanksgiving so much better (having something so HUGE to be Thankful for)!!

That's all... I'm just jumping through my skin excited... just please keep in (and all troops!) in your prayers for a safe trip back to US Soil!
