If I have any readers left....they may have noticed that my blog just went through the longest dead-spell in its entire history. I've gone almost exactly two months without a post. And there are a lot of reasons for that. Some huge changes, including new jobs and moving in with my parents (in their house already full with my sister, Anna, and her family in the basement). My life has been so busy, there's no hope to catch up all the details that have been missed on this blog. So here's my feeble attempt to throw on a few pictures and hope they can tell the story that I never will.
Below are some pictures of Thanksgiving. The night before thanksgiving we did "pie night." Awesome idea, thank you Beal family for that one. Eat the pies BEFORE thanksgiving, because you're always too full to have some on thanksgiving day anyway! We had pumpkin, cocoanut cream pie, cherry cheesecake, chocolate cream, and apple. ALL HOMEMADE. Soo good! So much fun.
The garage was emptied for the kids. We laid down carpet, brought out all the toys and space heaters, and let all 12 grandchildren go crazy. It was a great way to give us space in the already crowded house. And the kids thought it was awesome.
Thanksgiving dinner was at 3 tables stretched along the living room. It was such a nice set-up. I just think my mom was so awesome for making such an awesome dinner and beautiful tables for SO MANY people.
Back home in Filer, my days were spent either at work, or with my kids. Parker worked in Boise, and we usually went up there for the weekend. Decorating for Christmas was a little sentimental for me. Our last Christmas in our house. Five Christmases. My kids have grown so much over that time. And we have managed to transform our property from being an eye-sore into something beautiful. Our back yard, that started as nothing but weeds, now a place for the kids to play. There were things that I will miss so much about our home.
