Where Do I Start?

Thanksgiving:
For Thanksgiving I had my friend Sarah over, and we made our own Thanksgiving with the help of Tawnya, and of course our supportive husbands. The dinner turned our great, although the Turkey was a little dry, but I just figured it tasted like turkey and thats all I was going for!








A few days later we put up our $12.00 Christmas tree that we bought from a local exchange store. I've been buying ornaments little by little since August and I think the overall decor looks great.



And of course since we have curious crawling boys... this is what our christmas tree really looks like:


And finally, the present time:

On Thursday night Joe was vomiting through the entire night, but he had a big test on Friday that he couldn't miss. He ended up making it in time for the test, but not doing very well on it, which means that he will have to take the final on Tuesday. He is feeling much better now, so we think it must have been a 24 hour bug that I think I have now (Although my symptoms aren't as severe which I credit to my stellar immune system). Unfortunately Ethan has become quite ill as well starting last night. We aren't sure what it is, but he has a temperature and is very lethargic. I will call a nurse tomorrow to see what I can do.

Though all of this seems fairly grim, it just makes us all the more excited for finals to be over, our illnesses to have passed, and us be on our way back to Utah to visit family and friends.

That was so funny how you did the two shots of the tree. And I LOVE the Santa Hat on top. We don't have a traditional real tree topper either, but we have never thought of using our Santa Hat.
