Christmas in the Village & Ornament Exchange

I made a quick weekend trip home to attend Christmas in the Village and to have our 3rd Annual Ornament Exchange. It was nice to be able to spend some quality time with great friends. I love and miss you all!!!

Thanksgiving 2007

Well, Thanksgiving was here and is gone already! It was a wonderful and very special time! I got to spend some precious time at home with my family, friends, and love. We had some great food and a great time (until I got sick at the end). Wednesday night, we had the Thanksgiving meal at my house. Then Thursday we ate with Ryan's family at Sis's. Friday we did some shopping and had game night. Saturday, we spent some time at my sisters. Sunday, the boys had a football game, and Ryan and I decorated his classroom for Christmas. Monday we went hunting. Ryan got his buck at 7:08 in the morning, which was nice since it was cold and raining. We drug it out of teh woods and then cleaned it. It was a fun time!
