I just ordered my free cards from Tiny Prints that I received after reviewing them here on the blog, and I'm so excited! I didn't end up using the one I posted, but I love the one we did choose. I'll reveal it after they've all gone out. I don't want to ruin the surprise for the people who read this and will get one. I just love that site and their products. I doubt I'll be able to afford to do this on the same level every year, but it will be my hope to do so. And I don't even get anything for this blathering! I just like it that much.
All this has gotten me so excited (again) for the holidays. I only have to buy the turkey, cranberries, garlic and chocolate pudding (Hub has requested chocolate pie) for Thanksgiving. I work that day, so it requires a lot of pre-planning and Hub participation. He does a great job! We will have the usual stuffing, turkey breast, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, homestyle pole green beans, fresh cranberries sauce (once you've had fresh, you won't go back), pumpkin pie and chocolate pie. I'd make more except that it's not reasonable for 2-3 people on a workday. Alas, my Grandmother's sweet potato casserole, and my Mom's noodles sing a siren song that I resist.
E has been starting to notice "Cwismas Twees" and "Big Giant Cwismas Twees" along with snowflake lights that he calls "pwetty fwoers." Oh how excited he will be.

I'd love to! The dysfunctionality in our extended families has started early this season and will continue throughout the new year, so this can be a stressful time for us.

I am getting so excited for Christmas too! Elizabeth loves Christmas trees too and always has. It was one of the first words she learned how to sign and one of the only sign language words she still remembers how to do.

Aw, that sucks JEN!I would feed you. :) Sometimes being far away from family isn't so terrible. ;-)
