It's Christmas time again!!

The day after Thanksgiving we always put up decorations and that is what we did again this year. I had some problems with my Christmas tree though. I plugged in the bottom section(of course it is fake) and the bottom lights didn't work. I kept asking Dan if we should go get a new one but of course it wasn't the smartest thing to do. Then I thought I could just take off the strand that is not working or it turned out to be 3 strands but of course they are built into the tree. So the last thing I could think of was I had a strand of icicle lights that the middle was out on so I wrapped them around the tree and put the dead ones in the back. Now I have a big clump of lights on the back of my tree but it has lights. Then we started to decorate and it didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would be. During this process we managed to only break one bulb but it did shatter all over the place.

I guess I can do this with my eyes closed.

Thanksgiving feast!

Bria got to have a Thanksgiving feast at school for kindergarten. All the kids got to dress up in either an indian or a pilgrim. Bria decided she was going to be a pilgrim. There was a lot of food, they had meat and cheeses, rolls, fruit, muffins, and all sorts of things. Bailey and I went there for part of it to see what it was like and Bailey jumped right in and made herself feel at home with her big sister.

50th Birthday Surprise!!

The kids in my family (Jessica) decided that we were going to throw my parents a surprise party for there 50th birthdays. My dads was in September and my moms is in December so we had the party on November 22. It was a lot of fun we had way to much food and cake. My sister made a really cool slide show and timeline of the last 50 years of my parents life and just life in general.

When my parents came in finally, we had a hard time getting them back to the house, anyway when they came in they had no idea what it was for. They thought it was Syd's friends being funny but then they saw there friends. I guess we should have had something there to say what it was for. My poor dad thought for the first part of the party that it was just for my mom and he felt bad that he didn't help out, but then soon realized that it was for him as well. It turned out to be a lot of fun and I hope everyone else had fun that came.
