~Thanksgiving~

It was so good to be home. I enjoyed it so much. Thanksgiving day was spent with family on both sides. One my friends wrote me an email and in that email she said I hope you have at least 5 things to be thankful for this thanksgiving season. So, I just sat and started thinking of 5 things... and realized I had so much more to be thankful for - the list could go on! God is so good to us!!
On Friday, I got up at 5am to go shopping with mom which was really fun. After some shopping, we went out for breakfast. Then, went back home for a little and then we went out shopping again. lol.
I also got to help put up our Christmas tree. This year, its a snowman themed tree. Its so pretty, I love it!
I also did some cooking and baking... I made some really good Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies. It was a new receipe that mom had found and we all really liked the cookies!! yum yum
Now, I'm anticipating Christmas and all the joys of the season!
Most of all, I don't ever want to forget the reason for the season. Jesus came as a baby and then one day die on the cross for our sins!! It's so amazing that Christ did this for us.
Christmas is my favorite time of the year; I have been listening to Christmas music for quite awhile now.
May you all enjoy this special time of the year!!!

Sorry that I didn't get to talk to you while you were home!! Sounds like you were very busy. I beat you on getting up early on Black Friday ~ we got up at 3:00 AM. I was thinking how crazy I was :o)
