The next day we hosted our 1st holiday! It happened to be my favorite holiday too! I made a 20 lb turkey, too many potatoes, just enough gravy, and all the other fixings. My parents, the Moen's, my brother Eric, Dane and I all ate a delicious turkey dinner!
Just before Thanksgiving Day Dane and I went to Home Depot and bought a real tree. This is my first real Christmas tree. I have to admit it really smells amazing! (I am a total neat freak so the pine needles on the floor are something I have to get used to constantly cleaning up.) It is a massive tree but that is exactly what Dane wanted since he really didn't have a tree last year in Kosovo.
This weekend it snowed. It started Friday night. We went over to our dear friends, the Reberg's, to watch their two cutie pies while they attended a block Christmas party. (How fun!) We really enjoyed spending time with their kiddos! The snow started flying about 10pm Friday night and didn't quit until about 10pm Saturday night. Good thing we stocked up on supplies because there was no way we could get out! It was awesome to be "stuck" inside! We napped, snacked, watched movies, and stayed warm! Sunday morning we decided to dig ourselves out!
This is my first time ever running a snow blower!
That's right 21 inches of snow to blow out!
We have been keeping busy and have lots of plans coming up. I am going to start practicing my new years resolution now.....take more pictures!
Hope everyone had a safe winter weekend!
