I am loving this time of year!! I am so excited for the Holidays! In the past I have refused to put up Christmas deco before Thanksgiving but it's killin' me slowly:) We are heading to NewCastle for Thanksgiving (as long as nothing major happens w/ our bovine children) . . . just a shout out to my sisters that told me they were going home for Thanksgiving and quickly changed plans when I told them I was going. I can take a hint!! I guess this means I get the TACO bed, no battle!! (Just a side note about the bed for those of you who have never had the opportunity of sleeping on it- if you happen to have a sleeping partner -hopefully your spouse - you must sleep face out, on your side, with your backsides touching, and fingers gripping the side of the mattress - all in hopes that the sides don't magically fold up around the both of you sometime during the night.) Don't worry mom, we obviously always fight over who gets to sleep in it!!
Did I mention I am excited for the holidays??? I can't wait to put on another 12 pounds and do all sorts of fun things!

What are you THANKFUL for? I tag everyone who reads this. Please leave me a comment and list at least 10 things you are thankful for. If you don't leave me a message I will assume you are ungrateful or you do not read my blog:) (Yes mom, this means you have to set up a blogger account!)
Love You All and hope you have a great Thanksgiving:)

It sounds like you have a lot to look forward to this Thanksgiving. It's those memories that will last a lifetime. Oh by the way, sorry I haven't responded to your e-mail. Lifes been busy. My dad is doing fine, just some crappy side effects from his treatment that made him really sick. He's on the ups now and the road to recovery. We'd love to see you when your home if you have time, but if not I totally understand. We'll be at my moms house.
I love reading your blog. You are so funny!
I am thankful for my husband and children (most days), to be living in Alaska, my warm home, mine and vons families, the gospel, our friends, freedoms, technology and YOU. As this holiday season approaches we have been thinking of all those who have helped us get were we are today and you and Matt always come to mind. You were so awesome to watch Rylee for us. Just want you to know I haven't forgotten what you did for us. Love you Jenn
