MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Sunset

I have so much I want to write about... the parties, semester ending, christmas, but for now, as it is almost 11:30 p.m., I'll post this sunset I saw coming out of the grocery store the other night. I hurried and grabbed my camera from my purse before it slipped away. Isn't it beautiful?!!

These pictures don't do it justice.

New background... Well obviously!

I just love this background for the holidays! I wish I would have done it a month ago! Oh well. It'll be fun while it lasts.

Thanksgiving

Isn't she a beauty!

Sable setting (another table next to it too)

Beks made her family's Thanksgiving tradition treat... Nut cups! It had Andy's mini mints, asortment of planters nuts, mini recess pieces, and peanut butter m&m's

Making chocolate pudding pie

Beth and Beks shoving some goodies inside the skin. I wouldn't touch it!

Beth, Beks, and I did a 1000 piece puzzle

A Glimpse...

Here's a glimpse of what's to come...

Made My Day!

So this morning I was at work putting away the books at the library. A little girl, tiny and petite, looking about 1 years old, walked up to me and just stared. So I started talking to her with her parents standing behind her. She just kept smiling with her big brown eyes looking up at me. So I asked if I could pick her up. The answer was yes so I picked her up and kept talking to her. She was so cute! It made my day to hold a child so innocent and adorable!

The end

Turkey Turkey Turkey!

I'm excited to make the Thanksgiving arrangements tomorrow in class. Monday we got the colored leaves and wheat ready to be put in the arrangements; that takes half the time. I'm going to buy one of the ones (the better of 2 or 3) I make to put on our table Thursday. It might not fit just because our table isn't very big, but it will still make our house look festive. I'll be taking lots of pictures with everything going on this week so you can expect them in the near future.

Don't forget to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! I don't think I'll watch all of it and be glued to the TV like I was as a kid, but it's still fun to peek your head in to see all the floats and performances now and then as you cook. I'll be busy making mashed potatoes and chocolate pudding pie. Mmmmm yum!

I'm also excited because this is the first year, since I moved to Arizona, that I'll have Thanksgiving with the roommates at home, but one went to UT. We invited anyone who didn't have a place to go, to come eat with us. There's 5 people coming; so total there will be 8.
