What a busy weekend this last one has been. We took on the task of making our own thanksgiving dinner. We went full out cooking a 16 pound turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, gravy, corn, and last but not least olives. We thought that it shouldn't be to hard of a task until we found out that our turkey was so big and how long it would actually take to cook. Stephanie woke up at 5 in the morning and put the turkey in the oven. We enjoyed the much needed sleep after that and woke up around 10 to get everything else started. We enjoyed our thanksgiving lunch at one, and then both took a nap after that. We later went over to one of Eric's work friends house for dessert with him and their family. We were told that we were to make christmas ornaments which was a fun craft. They had clear glass ornament balls and you would put in paint of your choice and shake it around and make pretty designs on the inside of the glass, it was lots of fun. We ended up setting up our christmas tree on Thanksgiving, and Stephanie went out shopping on black Friday for most of our christmas presents. We finished up shopping on Saturday and decorated the tree. It is nice to know that all the shopping is done and that we can enjoy the spirit of Christmas without having to worry about gifts and the crazy shopping madness. Until next time, we wish you a happy holiday season!
