We had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. We invited some of Chris' classmates over for dinner/lunch and pie. I wish I had some pictures of the day or at least the food. the closest thing to it was this. . .
That's right, Our turkey looked like that.
We had all of the normal fixens this year. Turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, rolls, cranberry sauce, yams, stuffing, and jello salad. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. We watched a couple of football games and visited with each other. It was great, although I did miss having 50 people crammed into my parents house, we had a quiet house here.
This year we have so much to be thankful for. I am thankful for the opportunity to live here in Omaha. We are thankful that Chris is in Pharmacy school, and so grateful for our families. We are so thankful for our growing child. We have been waiting for our family to start for a while.
After the festive day of Thanksgiving it was time to decorate for Christmas so our house went from the picture above to this...
This is the first year we have used this tree that my parents let us use. It was fun putting it up.
My mom and brother brought this nativity back from Mt St. Helens it was made from the ash from when the volcano exploded.
I just finished making this advent calendar today. Now we'll know how many days there are left until Christmas.
