Sweet times with the family!

We had a great Thanksgiving! The only thing that would've made it better was if Em and her little family were there. And if Wal-mart hadn't been so horribly crowded that we just turned around, at 5:30 a.m., and went back home. :) I love the holidays...love love love. I love spending time with our families. I adore buying presents for everyone. I love how every year, Ben's wonder at the magic of Christmas grows. I love that every year, Ben understands more and more the true meaning of Christmas. Last year he wanted a birthday cake for Jesus, because duh, it's His birthday. This year he is beginning to undestand that Jesus lives in the hearts of those that seek His salvation (Ben's transalation - He lives here, in my heart). I hope that everyone is able to slow down enough during this busy time and remember that Christ is the reason we celebrate. So, here's to an amazing December!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I love the holidays so much!!! Ben is already at my parents and Brian and I head that way tomorrow evening. There's a Greenberg turkey and a cheese cake waiting for me. :) Being child-free is sometimes nice...yesterday, I went shopping for Christmas decorations after work. My Christmas gift this year is to buy all new Christmas decorations and, man, have I enjoyed it! So it was nice to browse and buy when I'm not on my lunch break and I don't have a three year old. Three year old's are limited to shopping places that have carts. Anywho...tonight, I had a mani/pedi! It was great! I realized that I don't do these things when Ben is home, because I just want to get home and be with he and Brian. I was able to take some time for me and it was nice.

So there's an update...HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
