I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Mine went completely against plans, as my daughter came down sick just 2 days before we were set to leave for Tennessee to spend Thanksgiving with my extended family. We ended up cancelling, and I spent the next couple days brooding over it. By the time Thanksgiving morning had passed I was cheering up and plotting an impromptu Thanksgiving meal with my husband. In the end, he kicked me out of the kitchen and told me to go play with the boys. He then whipped up a most delicious meal singlehandedly that included steak, salad, deviled eggs (I did boil and peel those for him earlier that day), steamed veggies, fresh-cut veggies, green bean casserole (courtesy the mother in law), and twice-baked potatoes. Even the dog enjoyed some of the leftovers (shhh don't tell my old veterinarian boss).

Ok Mom...you can stop with the flash in the eyes thing already!
A horrible pic of me, but it's me and Gabriel so I had to post it

When the three olders came for the weekend we put up and decorated the tree, and I decorated the house the best I can this year...which basically consisted of finding places to shove various Christmas-themed knicknacks and dolls.
A fellow mom and friend traded me prefold diapers for a breadmaker, in which I have made a loaf in every day since I got it. Christian helped me make French Bread in it on Saturday:
25 Days until Christmas!
