Happy Birthday To ME

Dec. 1st was my 31st Birthday. I was excited because Jake had asked my brother and sister-in-law to come down and baby sit while we enjoyed a late lunch without a toddler at the table! Our plan was to enjoy a late lunch and then grill out for dinner with Carlisle and Katie. I was excited about the day.

If you know my husband you likely know that he is horrible at keeping a surprise when it comes to something for me. Bless his heart I can usually figure out what gifts I'm getting because he's so not sly at giving clues. Secrets he can keep - surprises you can kiss it good bye!

So, you can imagine my surprise when we walked in the house to see decorations everywhere and then my total SHOCK when two of my greatest friends, Rachel and Janice, jumped out screaming SURPRISE!! I was initially so confused. I was thinking how did you get here, why are you here, is everything okay. Then I remembered it was my b-day and they were here for me. They traveled 6 and 8 hours to come for less than 24 hours. I have the best friends ever. I was so amazed to find out that Jake had put it all together! He CAN keep a surprise! :)
I had a GREAT 31st B-day!!

Carlisle and Katie always make me the prettiest and yummiest cakes!

Thanksgiving

I have been horrible at blogging lately. So sorry!! Been decorating, wrapping, sending out cards, etc. ect....

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Jake's family. It was a much easier Thanksgiving this year than last. Last year we were still unpacking boxes from just moving here!!!

Spencer had a blast with His Oma, Opa and Aunt Katie S. He especially loved his Opa's imitation of an elephant!!! He also had a fun time eating!!
I think his favorite was the apple pie with ice cream. He's gotta sweet tooth!

I am thankful for family, health and NOT to be unpacking boxes this year!!!
