November flew by. I really don't know where it went. I remember at the beginning of the month thinking Thanksgiving would be here before I knew it....but wow, now it is already gone! We started celebrating Thanksgiving the Sunday before Thanksgiving....well I started celebrating. Brian's Engle side has their Thanksgiving gathering this day. We got up, got showered, and started getting Stella ready.....and then he was back in bed. Sick. Ugh. So Stella and I headed to church and then down to visit the Engle family and enjoy some great food! We were stuffed (felt a little guilty because Brian was home sick sipping Sprite and enjoying saltine crackers) but I didn't really feel guilty enough to stop eating! Since we weren't able to attend family gatherings last year this is the first time his extended family got to see Stella in quite some time!
We enjoyed Thanksgiving Day with my Everett family. So fun. Lots of laughs, stories, and again....great food! I don't think I was hungry a single moment this weekend. Then I was able to play some Super Mario Brothers on Wii with my nephew and sister....yes we are little obsessed...but I LOVE this game!
We spent Saturday evening at my Grandpa and Grandma Ringger's 65th Wedding Anniversary party. Wow. 65 years! That is amazing! They have enjoyed many years together and that was clearly evident on the slide show at the party. So many pictures from so many years. It was a lot of fun.
And finally we were able to stay home on Sunday. We got up and went to church. We caught up on laundry. Watched the Bears win. And decorated for Christmas. We bought our first actual big tree at the end of last season, so we have officially put up our first big Christmas tree! It was a lot of fun. Stella loved the decorations and so carefully kept touching the tree. I cannot wait until Christmas morning!
December is only days away. I looked at our calendar. Yikes! So much to do and so little time.
