Merry Christmas...I mean Happy Thanksgiving

Wow, I haven't been a very good blogger. The holiday bussle started last week with:

*the Thanksgiving feast at Drew's school

*a field trip to sing at the nursing home

(isn't it amazing how older people light up when they see a child's face?)

*going to the Drive-In to see Blind Side

*the Scentsy, Uppercase Living, and jewelry party at my friend, Haylee's, house

*baking cookies

*packing to go to Childress

*trying to figure out how to use my new cell phone

*making my Christmas list (and checking it twice)

*looking for a Christmas puppy

*writing my Christmas letter

AND

putting up the Christmas tree. I know it isn't Thanksgiving yet, but...

Drew and Kade have been asking to put up the Christmas tree since Halloween. I gave in Monday morning, and we put it up. By lunch I was kicking myself in the rear for doing it without Ronnie, but Drew and Kade's excitement made up for my exhaustion. Their favorite part was putting up the ornaments...I think Kade is still "rearranging" them as I type. Ha! Yesterday, we decided to wrap Nana's presents. Kade wrapped his first, and I told him to go put it under the tree. Drew and I worked on wrapping his, and then I walked with him over to put it under the Christmas tree. I looked, and looked, but couldn't find Kade's present. I asked him, "Kade where did you put your present." He pointed to the back yard and said, "Under the trees." Ha!!! I love it!
I wanted to put something pretty (but cheap) on my coffee table. I rummaged around in my ornaments, picked some cotton, and viola!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends.
