ramblings

Things have been busy for us.
Not really in a - constantly going somewhere/doing something way- just busy.

We had a nice Thanksgiving. It was here at our house. My dad and his family came over, as well as my sister, my brother and his wife, and my other brother.
It was nice and simple. Everyone contributed a dish or two, and it worked out well.
I set my alarm to check out some black friday sales the next morning, but never did make it out of bed.
I did a little bit of online shopping, and still was able to get a few of the deals. I wasn't going for any major purchases. Little things, like pajamas, and movies.
We decorated the Christmas tree that night. The kids really enjoyed it.

Saturday we did a whole lot of nothing. I put some Christmas stuff up. Ryan looked for our outdoor lights. Of course, we can't find all of them.
Sunday, he put up what lights we did have. I made another no-sew blanket, and an advent calender for our house.

Everyone was back to business today. Kilynn had all of last week off due to conferances and thanksgiving. I enjoyed having her home, and sometimes serisouly consider homeschooling. But she enjoys school so much, and is doing well, I don't feel the need too. Yet.

I did make it to see Twilight finally.
Tuesday evening, a friend and I took the kiddos over to see Santa Clause at the mall. Then met up with Ryan. Ryan walked back across the ferry with the kids, so that my friend and I could go to the movie.
I loved it!
But I love cheesy love stories. And I LOVED the books. Seriously, so much that it's almost embarrasing. ;0)
Anyway, I''ll be anxiously awaiting the next one.
It stayed true to the book too, so that was good. Though I thought I'd remembered Alice being around more in the book.

After reading the Other Boleyn Girl, the movie was horrible to me..they had left out SOO much.
It annoyed Ryan to watch it with me, because I kept commenting on that fact.

Our new puppy, Nana, is driving me crazy. Serisouly. I've never seen a puppy pee so damn much.
I'm not sure what to do about that.
She's getting big already too. Wow. I can't believe how much she''s grown in just 3 weeks.
Did I ever post a photo here? I'll have to.
