i'm not gonna lie. i LOVE the holidays. i love thanksgiving and christmas. i love how they make me feel. the warmth of the season. the merriment. i know a lot of people who stress out (occasionally that's me) and do not enjoy the holidays at all. for me, i look forward to it. kelsey and i are both holiday music junkies. it's what will be playing in my car from now until they stop playing it! :)
thanksgiving is just a few days away and thanks to my new oven, i'm looking forward to cooking that turkey!
yes, i have finally purchased a new oven and it will be here between noon and four! Ha! i love it when they give you a huge window cause they think you have all day to sit around on your butt waiting for them. i don't think last years turkey turned out too bad, but i am looking forward to even cooking. no more half cooked foods. yay!
not so bad. good have been a little more browned. can't wait for stuffing! my absolute fav!
this year we will be down one child. kelsey is headed to bend with friends. as much as i'll miss her, i think she's lucky to have been invited. i left the decision of if she wanted to go up to her. i know she has mixed feelings. in the end, i'm sure she will have a great time.
we are getting ready for the Turkey Tourney around here. it starts the day after thanksgiving and goes till sunday. lots to do to put on an event like this. i am in charge of raffle baskets again this year. putting them together, gathering up from other families. making tags for them all. so fun to see what has been put together. we have lots of great things this year. we are still not sure if riley will be playing in the tournament this weekend. he is still healing from his concussion. he goes to see the specialist today. we are hoping for good news.
anyway, lots on my plate. lots of projects on my mind too. wanting to get started on my december daily real soon. i hate waiting till the last minute. right now, i'm off to the gym to test out the indoor pool. i hate swimming indoors. i love everything about swimming outside. we'll see how it goes. i'm hoping i'm just as hooked as i was this summer. we'll see. i sure do miss being toned, ha!
