Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Jamie and I went to my parent's house for Thanksgiving, we went out Wednesday night and stayed over so we wouldn't miss anything. Thanksgiving in Plymouth, Ma. I'm telling you turkey just tastes better there! My dad cooked up a great meal and it smelled terrific, I love the torture of having smelling the turkey cook all morning long. My aunt came over with my grandfather. It was nice to have them over and to spend Thanksgiving at my folks. The turkey cooked fast and was done in 3 and a half hours, which worked out good because about 15 min. after we pulled the bird out the power went out! My dad was all stressed out about it but we made it through and ended up having dinner a little later when the power came back on.

On Saturday Jamie and I went up North for the day. I went with Jean to Erin's baby shower and Jamie went with Greg and Uncle Rick to play golf. It was nice to see Erin, Suzanne and Colleen all with their big belly's. They all looked super cute! Jean made a great cake, it looked just like Fenway Park with all the details. It was nice and taste-y as well! For dinner Jean made a terrific turkey pie. The best part of Thanksgiving is the leftovers :o)

All day Friday and Sunday Jamie and I worked around the house. It was nice to have the long weekend to be able to see our families and be able to check off a few of the things we had wanted. The insulation is in and looks great! Our house is all tucked in for the winter now. We cleaned up part of the basement and got the yard all cleaned up and mowed. We had a lot of leaves from the neighbors tree that had fallen. I finally painted the small last section of wall behind the refrigerator. I really thought it would be one of those things that gets forgotten for a few years, but we pulled it out and cleaned up and painted it all up. We also got our new sink and faucet installed. It looks so good and clean now, plus we don't have to empty the bucket under the sink all the time. The old one leaked when ever you used the faucet and had gotten worse as time went on. Looking good now though!

I'm hosting a Partylite candle party at our house on Tues. for the neighbors, so I wanted to get these things done for that. I sent out about 50 invitations but I have no idea how many people will be coming. For the most part I don't know any of them and was hoping this would be a fun way of meeting new neighbors. We'll see if anyone is interested!

The days are getting so much shorter, it's hard to get outside while the sun is up which is a bummer. Jamie and I watched the sun rise over the river this morning from our picture window in the kitchen, it looked amazing. So there are good sides to everything, they day might be shorter but the later sun rise means that I might actually catch it. It was nice to take a few minutes and just enjoy them with Jamie. I can honestly say that with out Jamie I probably would never see a sun rise! They happen way too early for me.

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Time to get ready for Christmas, it's right around the corner now.
