Thanksgiving Weekend

Some GREAT and not so great things:

GREAT - Wonderful time with family. Boys enjoyed their cousins, aunts & uncles & grandparents. Even had some out of town relatives visiting that we weren't expecting!

NOT so great - My Grandma Lulu was in the hospital, so she & my Grandpa Jack weren't able to join us. They usually host Thanksgiving & prepare the turkey & dressing. My parents & aunt & uncle stepped up & filled in. It was disappointing that they were unable to be there though & sad that she is not feeling well :(

GREAT - Food was excellent at both places. We even pulled off my Grandma's stuffing in her absence.

NOT so great - I burnt my arm while baking the rolls...but they were still tasty.

GREAT - We enjoyed a lot of outside time at Aaron's parents & took a few walks, hopefully burning off some of that turkey and dressing :)

NOT so great - I lost one of my diamond earrings while there...and am hoping it turns up.

GREAT - We enjoyed a fun card game of "Oh Hell" with Aaron's brothers, wife & friend. The grandparents entertained the grandkids so we could accomplish this :) Thanks :)

GREAT - Zoe started sleeping in a crib while we were at Aaron's parents & we have been on a roll ever since! We've had a couple rough nights but she's doing well.

GREAT - I got to stock up on my favorite candles at the Holiday Show in Falls City, NE.

NOT so great - My friends, the Carpenters, moved while we were gone. I'm grieving...another one of my great friends is over an hour away, which isn't far, but it just isn't the same!!!!!!!!!

GREAT - Cloverton
was in concert at our church. The vocalists were part of the Praise Band I was in while in Manhattan. They provided an evening full of wonderful worship music & we really enjoyed visiting with the band & their wives during our meals!

NOT so great - My house is a mess after being gone Thursday - Saturday, dumping our bags Saturday evening when we returned & then being gone all day yesterday & this morning. I really should be cleaning/picking up right now instead of blogging.... :)

GREAT - My birthday present that Aaron ordered finally came in. I love it!

All over - a LOT more GREATS than not so greats :) A fun family weekend!

Broken Promises

I love this commercial...and wish it would have come out BEFORE we bought a new computer with Windows Vista. A few months ago we upgraded our computer and in an attempt to save a little money, I bought a Dell instead of a Mac, which I really wanted... I'm really wishing I would have splurged - I would have saved ourselves (and my brother, Cole who has been trying to fix it) a lot of problems!
