Thanksgiving and Christmas Decorating!

This was a fun week and weekend! Michael and I both had off Thanksgiving, so we headed to Horton Wed. night. The night before Thanksgiving is when everyone that has moved from Horton comes back to hang out at "The Wheel" (the one bar in town). It was a lot of fun. I got to see Karen and chat with her, and some people that I haven't seen in years!

Thanksgiving was lots of fun, but very busy as usual. We had a late lunch at my parent's house, then we headed to Michael's parents for another meal. Everything was really good and I ate way too much!

Sat, I met up with Jackie for lunch and some shopping. It was great to see her and catch up!

Sunday; Michael, Lola, and I went to get a Christmas tree! I love this time of year! The holidays seem to put everyone in good moods! We had fun picking out one! When we got home, we decorated it, along with the rest of our house while listening to Christmas music. Now, it really feels like the holidays! Yea!

Two Birthdays and a Play...

This weekend was lots of fun! Friday after work, we headed to Horton for the weekend. We hung out most the weekend. Kelsey was in the musical on Sat; Bye, Bye, Birdie. It was good and pretty funny. Kelsey did a great job!

Sunday was Jason's birthday. He opened our gifts Sat night and then we had ice cream cake on Sunday. I think he had a nice b-day.

After church on Sunday, we headed to Gardner for Tyler's birthday. He actually turned one year old today! I can't believe it's been that long already! He's doing great at walking around! I think his favorite presents were the balloons!

Lynsey's Designs...

I'm excited! Lynsey has her website up and running! She is now selling her awesome family trees and bracelets! They make great gifts, and it's the season for trying to find that "perfect gift." Please check out the website. I'll also put this link on the right side of the page for future use. She gave their parents one for their aniversary with all of us on it...I love how classy it looks! Here's the website and an example of a tree and a few bracelets:

Pizza Party!

This weekend, I hosted a girl's night out at my house. It was alot of fun and we had a good turnout! I decided to have a pizza party. (thanks to Lynsey for the idea!) I made the dough a day before. Then, that day, everyone came over with their toppings. It was really fun to make our own pizzas. Everyone had a small one that they created. We chatted, and played a game. It was fun to hang out with the girls!

The Weekend

We really didn't do much this weekend. Friday, we ate at Houlihan's for date night. They have the best potato soup that I've ever eaten! Tonight, I'm trying a recipe that I found on the internet that is suppose to be from Houlihan's...so we'll see. Sat, Michael worked and I ran some errands. I also went to see my friend Sarah. She just moved into an apt. on the plaza. It's really cute and has a great view. We bought the movie, Transformers that night. If you haven't seen it, it's good! The graphics and sound are awesome. Sunday, we got a few things done around the house.

Here's a couple picts from Halloween. Tyler came to trick or treat at our house. What a cute ghost!
