Sisters.....

I was planning on doing a post about all the snow that we have been getting....wellllll.....hop over to Kali's blog because she got to it before me. She even did the same you tube video I was planning to do...hmm...coincidence?! I shall let you all decide ;o)

Anyways, here is a video that perfectly demonstrates mine and Kali's relationship.....I am the one on the right and she is on the left :o) enjoy!

Thanksgiving At Home

Since we are farther away from my Grandma W (we get together with my dad's side of the family every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas), we had Thanksgiving at our house, a first for our family! It was great! We had the Majors over, Josh drove over AND my Grandma and Step Grandpa B came!

Thanksgiving morning started out wonderfully, Grandma B made biscuits and gravy!!! Mmmmm....so thankful for southern roots! Please tell me someone out there has had Chocolate Gravy?! Everyone I mention it to they scruntch up their nose...but its soo good! Or maybe you just have to grow up with it to truly enjoy it ;o)

 It was a great time of fellowship and LOTS of food! Lets see, what was on the menu......Turkey, Ham, 2 kinds of sweet potatoes (one with PB and one without), green bean casserole, cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes/gravy, rolls, cranberry sauce, deviled eggs, black olives and fruit salad! Whew! We all got PLENTY to eat! I think some of us needed to roll out of the room, but we all made it out! After dinner we relaxed and played on the Majors Wii. (I don't know if those two things can rightfully go in the same sentence....) It was a lot of fun, I was beating Josh and Chris at tennis which is always nice. :o)

After we got our appetites back up, ready for some dessert, we dove in! Lets see, dessert involved.....Pumpkin Cheesecake, Sour Cream Coconut Cake, 2 Pumpkin Pies, 2 Coconut Cream Pies, and Banana Pudding! Did I tell you we had A LOT of food/dessert?! We could have ate an entire meal out of all the dessert alone! After dessert we enjoyed a game of dice, 10,000 to be exact and it was very fun! Even though I did HORRIBLY! The fellowship with family and friends was so good that it was ok I was doing so awful. :o)

                                            All five together again!!!

Lilly's face is soo funny....

"The Adults Table"

"The Kids Table", for old times sake :o)

Lilly just turned 6!

We showed Olivia how to put olives on her finger....my Aunt taught me as a kid, so passing on the torch :o)

Brother and Sister <3

Oh my!

Today I had a Eggnog Chai Latte and the title fits the feeling I had while drinking that. OH MY! It was SOO delicious! I have had an Eggnog Latte before but something about the Chai being thrown in makes it ohhh sooo good! You all have to go try it.....

Thanks Liz for the recommendation!!!

Also, I just made a pumpkin cheesecake for tomorrow!!! Yum...can't wait!!

Everyone have a great Thanksgiving! Eat as much as you can because this day only comes once a year! Well, at least thats what I tell myself when I have my plate filled to the max ;o)

C-C-Cooold!!

Currently it is saying it is 1 Degree outside.....1!!

It looks like we will get to 5 degrees today....a whole 5! yippee! ;o)

The Weekend in Pictures

SNOW!!!

Kali and I made two Birthday cakes, one for Lilly (her 6th Birthday was Sunday) and Dennis (his is tomorrow)! We had a lot of fun making personalized cakes for them!

Dennis loves football and the NY Giants are his team....he LOVED it!!

Lilly really liked her Princess Cake too! 

Thanksgiving Thursday

• Friendships blooming with Dennis and Lindsey and looking forward to the big day coming up fast!!
• Another Bible Study with Sarah scheduled for Sunday afternoon
• Yummy Oreo Klondike Bar ;o)
• OH OH!! Since I'm on the subject of food......Nicki (visited us last weekend) brought Cranberry Sierra Mist and dried Mangos!!! ahh..... my mind was thrilled for all those yummy treats, but my hips are not so happy now....
• Its almost the weekend
• Speaking of the weekend...my parents and the Majors will be out of town this weekend (leaving tomorrow morning and coming back Saturday night), so its a girls weekend with Kali, Lilly, Olivia, and I! fun fun
• Christmas presenting for friends and family starting to be purchased and ideas being formed
• Thanksgiving is nearing and we will be able to see some family soon!
• Weekly phone chats with a friend

How it went...

Sarah wasn't able to make it today until almost 12 which only gave us about a half an hour...(I had to go to work at 1 today). Which I was disappointed with not being able to have as much time as I hoped but I wanted to definitely do as much as we can without trying to rush. She hadn't read the Bible in quite some time so I was able to kind of give a refresher course on how to navigate through the Bible. We got about 3/4 way through the first study about sin. She understands she is a sinner and that even though you may have only commited one of the 10 Commandments, you are guilty of all of them. James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."  Its really neat to see someone who is searching and truly wanting to learn!

We were discussing getting together next Sunday afternoon, which would probably work better for her. In that one I plan on going through the rest of the study and going into the next one talking about the Gospel! I'm really excited to get into that!! First obviously, she needed to understand completely that she is a sinner IN NEED of the Savior.

Thanks sooo much for all the prayers and words of encouragement! I will keep you all posted!
