I have to admit...I LOVE when November comes because to me November means one thing - IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS! Ha ha! Now, I know there are those that say "one holiday at a time" and don't rush over Thanksgiving...NO WAY! Thanksgiving in a lot of ways is just a pre-lim to Christmas. I get to reflect on all the MANY blessings that God has given me as I look toward celebrating the GREATEST blessing of all - JESUS!
However, another thing that I love about November and December is simply this: FAMILY. I grew up celebrating the holidays with extended family and love it!!! I love the house full of people, kids laughing and running through the house, the smell of yummy pies and goodies, playing games all day, the men watching football, etc - I absolutely love every part of it...I ESPECIALLY like that my mom and I have this wonderful agreement: She cooks and I clean up! Ha ha!
In light of all this - only 14 days til we leave to Colorado for THANKSGIVING!!! Can't wait!!! I am looking forward to:
* Games with my parents
* Soaking in the Hot Tub out in the snow (I hope)
* Relaxing with my hubby
* Playing outside with the kids
* Hanging out with some of our best friends the Vaughns
* Sleeping in
*Watching Tyler help Grandad with the Turkey
* Waking up to a fire in the fireplace
* BEING WITH FAMILY!

And living away from family makes the holidays even more SPECIAL! Hope you have a wonderful time!
