All Ready for Christmas!

I know, I know, we just finished Thanksgiving, but we already have our tree up and are getting ready for Christmas. But first, I'll show you some really cute pictures from Thanksgiving and from my sister's wedding. This Thanksgiving was exhausting, but so much fun! I'll start from the beginning. Dan and I went to my parent's house Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, relaxed, and watched a movie. Then we got up early Thursday to go to Kansas City where I regretfully did not get any pictures. We spent the day with my mom's family and had a wonderful time with family and of course had a fabulously fattening meal! Friday, we celebrated Dan's Grandma Marilyn's birthday with his family. We got to spend time with Matt and Sarah and Camdyn too, which always makes me happy because we just don't get to see them as often as we would like. That night was my sister's rehearsal dinner at Carlos O'Kellys. I can't believe they actually wore the sombreros for a little while. Anyway, the wedding was the next day and it went very well and they are officially Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson. She was so beautiful! Overall, we just had a great Thanksgiving and as I said before, we're ready for Christmas! Here's just a quick update on everyday life things. Dan's first basketball game is quickly approaching, I'm getting ready for a job change, and our cat has a bacterial infection which apparently makes her not want to go to the bathroom in her litter box. So we're all adjusting to new things right now, some fun and some not so fun! : ) I'll let you know how things go.

Thanksgiving is coming!


I love Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday because I love being surrounded by friends and family. And this Thanksgiving is going to be extra special because my one and only sister is getting married... finally! We had her bridal shower last weekend and it was a blast! She was so excited and so happy, which is so nice to see.

I had bought my sister the game Mouse Trap for her shower gift because it was our favorite game as kids and as you can tell from the picture, she loved it! Like me, she remembered the fun times we used to have fighting over it. And of course, I loved seeing my niece Jordan. She is growing up so fast. We had so much fun together, just being silly. These are all pictures from the shower and Jordan told me to make a funny face on the last one, so that's what I did. Isn't it just the best picture of me? Anyway, the rest of the weekend was spent with my good friend Nikki and seeing Dan's family, including my niece Camdyn who I haven't seen in such a long time. Dan was at the K-State game in Nebraska, so he didn't get to see them, but he got to spend time with the boys. Even though K-State lost horribly, he still had a good time. So my next post will be after Thanksgiving and I'm very excited about that. We're going to Kansas City for Thanksgiving day, but will be in Topeka for a day and then will be celebrating Tiffany and Perry's wedding! I hope everybody has a fabulous Thanksgiving.
