We've almost made it to December!

We are back home now. The laundry is almost all done, and the house is on the way to not being a total disaster! I love going to the farm, or just about anywhere for that matter, but coming home, and the first day or two back are just a beating for me. We drag a mess in just with our luggage and laundry, and getting everything put away and washed is a job. But we had an awesome few days at Mom and Dad’s!

Thanksgiving was a lot of fun. Mark drove over and Christy’s in-law’s joined us. We had a fantastic dinner, with lots of delicious food! When everyone settled in to watch the Cowboys win, our family headed back over to Frisco for our annual Thanksgiving evening with Wayne and Buena. We got there in time to see the 4th quarter on the big screen. Then we had a nice little visit and watched some of the Longhorns beating the Aggies. It was a great day!

I am really looking forward to December. I am trying to find things for the kids and me to enjoy and not spend a fortune! So far, our list looks like this:
1. Bass Pro Shop’s Santa Land
2. Grapevine’s Parade of Lights
3. Lewisville’s Christmas Parade
4. Weatherford’s Christmas on the Square
5. Farmer’s Branch Lights Show
6. Make Ornaments at the Arthouse
7. Flower Mound’s Holiday Stroll
8. “Santa Clause is Coming to Town” at Casa Manania
9. The Trains at North Park Mall

We will probably go spend a few days before Christmas at Mom and Dad’s too. We didn’t get everything done that we wanted to this time. When I am there I love to work outdoors. It is kind of funny, because at our house, outside is Mark’s domain. Anyway, there are fences to paint, cookies to bake, leaves to burn and all kinds of good stuff to look forward to. . . I can tell, December is going to FLY by.
