My last blog was in March announcing Ben's arrival. Hard to believe that he is 8 months old and so much time has passed.
While much time has passed and I have a lot I could tell, I'm just going to pick up with where we are. Thanksgiving was wonderful. It was good to be with family and friends, and I simply needed a change of pace and some rest.
Tuesday afternoon, I went to two basketball games at RCS and came home at six. Collin and Bryan got out the Christmas tree and decorations for me. They helped get the tree up and the lights on. I finished the rest and headed to bed at 11 o'clock. I was excited. The transition was on from fall to Christmas.
Micah and Ben came home early the week before to begin the celebration. It was good for our family to enjoy Ben a little before the actual holiday. Papaw and Ben have struck up quite a friendship.
Wednesday, I continued decorating the house and helped Bryan outside for while raking and burning leaves. Wednesday night, we headed to Grandmother's and Papaw's house to have our family Thanksgiving meal. All the family enjoyed a great time.
Friday morning, I finished the decorations. Our NOLA kiddos were leaving for home so Collin and I accepted an invitation to head to the hills with Dennis and Regina for some R and R. Collin would get to hunt and we would spend some time riding 4-wheelers and enjoying the outside.
We came home this afternoon and now it's time to head back to work tomorrow. It will be busy. There is a lot to do between now and Christmas. Tis the season to be jolly.
