Turkey and Boomer

I know I already blogged about Thanksgiving but I wanted to also post some pictures! I made these really cute turkeys thanks to ourbestbites.com and I wanted to share them along with some other photos.

See, this is my attempt of being better at the blogging thing! Since last time 2 exciting things have happened:

1. It snowed! 

2. We got my mom a new dog named Boomer. He is a 1 year old chihuahua/dachshund mix and cute as a button. We went to the SPCA with mom looking for a kitten but Boomer stole our hearts. Right now he has a skin condition but they said it is curable so hopefully that wont take too long. It was quite funny as they were telling us about his behavior history and how he was shy and not interested in toys and took awhile to warm up to people. Right after we got him we went to the pet store and he was going up to everyone and when we got home with some new toys he was having a blast. Hopefully he'll be a long time friend and companion for a great mom. 

Only 6 more workdays until 2011. So excited!

Cards For Everyone!

Last year Andy and I sent out Christmas cards for the first time! I had gotten a promotion from Shutterfly and luckily they are doing another one this year! They have such great designs to choose from and the quality is excellent. This year they are offering 50 free cards. Is that a sweet deal or what? The program is simple to use and they ship in no time. There's nothing more fun then dressing up in Christmasie clothes, putting up all the decorations and taking pictures. Last years were really cute so if you want in on a card from us this year be sure to let me know!

If you are interested in getting the 50 free cards you can check out the promotion here: http://blog.shutterfly.com/5358/holiday2010-blog-submission-form/

Oh So Lazy...

To those of you who read this blog I'm terribly sorry for the lack of attention I've given it. Starting November things just start getting so busy but here is a "quick" recap and maybe just MAYBE I can be better about updating.

October Happenings:

-We got to go to the State Fair which is always fun. This year the new cool thing was the Krispy Kreme Burger. It was a cheeseburger pattie (which you could add bacon and other stuff to) between 2 donughts. I think they said the calorie count was around 2000! Andy and I were not daring enough to try that but we did get 2 fried cheeseburgers (very disappointing this year!), apple dumpling, and cheesecake on a stick. We love walking around looking at the plants, art, and critters and the fireworks this year were AMAZING! Oh, the best part might have been the pig races :o)

-I went to a BYOP party (Bring Your Own Pumpkin) where we carved pumpkins (mine is the owl) and ate and hung out while Andy went to the fair again to watch the tractor pull.

November:

-Andy was cute and made me an entire birthday week, he totally topped last year and no worries he remembered the cake this time ;o) I think the little surprises are so fun!

-We got the opportunity to attend date night at our church and it was really good. It is for married couples and is just a night to focus on your marriage. Our band, which is fantastic, played excellent music, there was a nacho cheese "fountain" and a mashed potato bar (they served sweet potato or mashed potato in martini glasses and had topping to put on them, it was really cute!) as well as other things, there were games videos, and a message to get you thinking about your family goals. It really was a great time and I cannot wait until the next one!

-Thanksgiving! Andy and I had our immediate family over and it was just so nice. We are so blessed with such a great family. I only wish we could see them all more often.

Now that the beginning of December is here I think I am all caught up!
