Our holiday..

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We spent ours with Derrick's family in SC on Thursday, then on Friday we spent all day looking around for things to buy and got home finally around 8 that night. We didn't buy too much stuff, so Derrick is happy! We did have a good time though. Today we spent just about all day at my grandparents for our annual stew. It turned out great, as usual. I still smell like stew, it just seems to linger on and on. We managed to get our Christmas tree and decorations up this evening. I just love putting it all up, it makes everything so pretty!! And my favorite part - every year after Christmas, I always buy a "few" new things on clearance for the next year and forget about it until like tonight, when I start to decorate. It's goofy - but I get so excited to see all the new stuff I forgot about - it's my early Christmas present to myself! Our big thing this year will be trying to keep Natalie out of the tree. Fun, Fun! As long as our tree doesn't topple over, I'll be OK. I can't say the same for Derrick though.
