thanksgiving

today was the most amazing day. we started out by cleaning out the boxes out of the front room. wow it looks really nice. then we started watching a movie with the kids. we went back over to the old house and got the rest of the frozen food out from the freezer. we started making dinner all together. that was fun and frustrating all at the same time. having kelly, me and three kids all trying to help. it was crazy. the turkey didn't have a timer and we had to throw away the old one as it was broken. so we just took a mental note as to how long it would take. we covered the turkey with oil and garlic. wow good.
we started watching more of the movie and then stopped it again so that we could make real mashed potatoes. we made strawberry cheesecake. watched more movie and then stopped it to eat. man the turkey was so done that it just fell off the bones. we all made a turkey thankful bag. we each wrote down 10 things we are thankful for and we are going to use it like a time capsule. every year we are going to write down 10 things we are thankful for and then read the old ones to see how the kids change in their thinking of things to be thankful for.
so after we prayed, we each read 2 things out of the bag. it was fun and the kids got all excited when someone would read there's. dinner was amazing. we had turkey, real mashed potatoes, salad, croissant rolls, stuffing and gravy. we had made a pumpkin pie also.
we finished the movie and then the kids were ready to go to bed. now kelly and i are watching one of our shows and then plan on going to bed a lot earlier than we usually do.
i feel bad that i haven't written for a little while and have no pics cause torey broke ours. we hope to get one for christmas then i can show you all just how cute our house is and how big the kids are getting.
we have been unpacking and making this our home and we all LOVE it. did i say that i LOVE it? i am so happy here. everything took so much in the bigger house and here everything is all close and i can clean in like an hour. where as the other house it would overwhelm me and then i wouldn't do it very often. i have kept up with dishes, laundry, and the bathroom. oh and the front room. i am just so happy here.
well that's enough for now. hope that you all had a WONDERFUL thanksgiving and that your holidays will be filled with love and happiness. love you all.
