The Amazing Reality.....

Conor and I cooked all day yesterday for the best tasting Thanksgiving dinner I have ever had.  Conor had planned the whole menu and he chose some amazing dishes.  We really had such a FUN time in the kitchen all day!!!  Bellie had a wonderful first Thanksgiving!!!  It was such a BLESSING to see her at our table - it was a Blessing to see everyone at our table.   I am so so so so Thankful for this FAMILY GOD HAS BLESSED ME WITH!!!!

Now - The Amazing Reality of an appointment on December 7, 2011 is that you have to  purchase airline tickets to get there.  So today we did just that, we bought our tickets to meet our son.  YAY!!!  So we are leaving Monday, December 5.  That is in 9 days!!!!  I can't even believe it - I really can't.   So since we are leaving in 9 days - OH MY - we have lots of stuff to get done.  WHOA!!!!!  My sister flew in last night so that is one thing out of the way.  Nick and I went out at 5 am this morning to jump in on the black friday shopping.  We had so much fun and I bought an outfit for SDA/Court date.  My beautiful most wonderful friend Gretchen came over for a visit while she is in town.  All of our kids love Gretch - she is pretty much family really!!!  She helped the little ones decorate the Christmas tree.  So FUN!!!!!



 This is my favorite picture!!!  I am so grateful to have the Most Bestest Friend in the whole world!!!!!



 Again - Conor just can't help himself!!!!!



Belle is very interested in the new addition to the living room.  

Tomorrow the Plan is to write the lists - Lots & Lots of Lists!!!!
