Deck the Halls

Of course the Christmas season was under way right when we got home from Thanksgiving. Everything is decorated, the Christmas music is on, and the kids ask for cocoa EVERY day! Report cards are in & conferences are done (every body did fine). Most of my shopping is done too. I LOVE IT...except I sent a huge batch of Christmas cards out yesterday with not enough postage & am wondering if everyone is gonna get charged ! Merry Christmas?

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving. It was good to see everyone who could make it to Joe and Mel's. I believe the head count was in the 20's....can you believe that is low for the usual Elenbaas gatherings?! The man in the picture carving the turkey is Tim's uncle .

Also pictured are: Alyssa w/ her cousins eating up the relish tray items, and Alyssa's school paper on what she is thankful for.

We went over to my parents for a bit too, then went out with all Tim's siblings & their spouses to see the movie Australia.
