I can't wait for Thanksgiving!

Seth bought our turkey today. I can't believe the holidays are so close! I love, love, love the holidays. Our tradition for Thanksgiving the last few years has been for Seth to make the turkey and sweet potatos and take them over to my mom's house and she makes everything else. Usually our celebration includes everyone you saw in the family photos a while back - my mom, grandma, Aunt Janet, Uncle Don, cousin Debbie, her son Brandon, cousin Dave, his sons Jakob and Brayden, cousin Laura, her husband Craig, and their kids, Sophia and Jesse, and us.

So the turkey has been bought. It'll stay in the freezer until next Monday when it will be time to soak it in a salt water, butter and veggies mixture. He's made the turkey for our Thanksgivings seven out of the last nine years. (Yes, we've been together nine years - married for seven.)

So, Houston was a quick trip. I got there Friday afternoon and got home Saturday at 10 p.m. The nice parts of Houston were really nice and the scary parts were really scary. I am just really glad that I don't have any more trips planned for 08. And now I get to look forward to Christmas! Abby wrote her letter to Santa this weekend. Both kids love books, so that's easy. Abby likes Tinkerbell and Hannah Montana. Adam likes Dora and Diego, dinosaurs and Thomas the Train. I guess I'll start from there and see what I decide to get the kids. Tis the season!
