Happy holidays!

WOW! Holiday time already? This year flew by!!

Well, Halloween was fun. All of the kids dressed up this year and went trick or treating. I let my 16 year old go out with his friends. They had a good time wandering the neighborhood dressed in all black... the one and ONLY time that is allowed.

The younger ones, 13, 10 and 5 year old's went trick or treating with me n the hubby in my parent's neighborhood first, then our home neighborhood later. They got a lot of candy! But boy were they pooped! :)

On to Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was nice. I cooked for the second year in a row! (Side note: I do not cook!!! I am not a cook!!! I hate cooking!!!) I am very happy to say that my turkey came out awesome!! Nice and juicy!! I cooked for 11 people this year; last year for 8. This was the first time that I cooked for my mom and dad. They seemed to have enjoyed it. It made me really happy that things turned out. I was a little worried, but don't tell my hubby. I am super proud of myself!!

Now it is Christmas time. Wow, oh wow!! Christmas already? I started listening to Christmas music the day after Thanksgiving. I love Christmas music!

Every year I say that I want to get an early start on Christmas shopping. Today is Nov 30 and I have only bought one thing. Ok, I have a stocking stuffer too. Does this count?

I really want to get my tree up and decorate. Normally I get this done around mid month. I really want to to do this now! But I will wait until this weekend to get my tree. I am ready. I want to be in the spirit. This is my favorite holiday and I can't wait!

Happy Halloween! Happy Thanksgiving! Merry Christmas!
