HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE DAN!!!

You old fart!!!!

And so it begins....

Thanksgiving is over...the Christmas season can now officially begin. Not like in the stores where there have been Christmas trees and decorations up along with Halloween costumes. The boys and I have been having fun driving around and yelling at people who have their Christmas lights up AND ON (up is ok, I understand doing that when the weather is warmer - just leave them turned off!!!). Some people have had their trees up for a couple of weeks already. One holiday at a time people!!!

Our tree will be brought up from the basement at some point today and we will figure out where it will be placed this year.

Ryan already thinks it's Christmas. He really doesn't understand we have almost one month left to go still. To be a kid again!!!

I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was relaxing and tasty. But now the fun begins!

GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE

We hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!!

Eat a lot and enjoy everyone!!

We are going to Pat's parent's house for our dinner and then off to the nursing home for dessert with Grandma. We have even talked about going to see a movie later on with the boys. AND...Lauren and I may brave it and go to the outlet mall at midnight for a goodie bag and cheap shopping (in our pj's no less)!!!

Here is Cale's turkey drawing this year...

he was a little bummed that the "special" turkey picture was put on the blog. Cale actually drew this entire picture. It wasn't traced or just colored. Not bad if I do say so myself.

Only a male...

...would draw a picture like this.

Ryan drew this picture of a turkey, in pre-school, that has 13 legs and is pooping. And YES...he is VERY proud of the fact that it is pooping.

I even received an e-mail from the teacher in regards to this. Thankfully, she not only has a sense of humor, but two small sons at home as well.

What is it with males of all ages and bodily functions???

I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the pooping, but by the fact that it has 13 legs!!!

Cheap Gas

And I'm not talking about what you have after eating a gas station bean burrito! I just put gas in my car for $1.98 per gallon!!! It felt so good (I know...I need a life!!!). (yes Mom...I'm sure it's a few cents cheaper by Woodman's, but humor me - this was on my way home)
