Getting ready for the holidays

We missed all of our family on Thanksgiving, but were able to have a great one here in Iowa with some really great friends!  I didn't take any pictures, but my friend Laura posted some on her blog, so click HERE if you want to see them. Great food and great company, it was a Thanksgiving that I will never forget. My friends are hardcore when it comes to black Friday and convinced me to wake up at 2am and go shopping with them. It was a success and I guess it was worth it because I was able to get all the door busters on my list. It took me 2 whole days to catch up on my sleep though.

Regan got the lights on the house. I convinced him to go with the red and white ones this year. It was a miracle that the chubby snowman survived last winter, but he did. We'll see if he can make it through another Iowa winter...

Happy Holidays!!
