so, the thanksgiving holiday has come and gone…i am thankful for family, for love, for acceptance, forgiveness, and growth…for my life and the journey’s God leads me on…for all of it, i am THANKFUL!!!!
so, turkey day has passed, and that means it time for my favorite holiday, CHRISTMAS! jon and i have been busy bees the past week…hangin’ with the in-laws before they headed out for arizona for turkey day, kickin’ back just us at home while the roomies were off on vaca for the holiday, visiting disneyland, starting the decorating process, driving to sissy’s for turkey day and spending time with mama, dee, shane, and the 2 nephews, aedyn and connor, and back home…to finish decorating…decorating for the holidays is one of my favorite things to do…and i am proud to say we have completely finished the outside and inside of our house, and have already taken our christmas card pic and got them printed and ready to send out…and its only two days after thanksgiving…i am impressed with how well we worked as a team to get it all done so quickly…and it makes me smile so much to see the holiday cheer in my home…jon will be posting a video of our work, while here you may enjoy some pics of everything i just spat out…
