Thanksgiving / Pre Christmas 2010

I apologize to the old folks who follow this blog, I know you won't love the new music I put on, but sometimes I have to bust out my oldies. (:
We are finally feeling back to normal around here. The day after Thanksgiving Bianca threw up, only once so that was a relief. But no fever or anything. Then on Sunday I got really sick and stayed home from church. When Eric got home that day he started feeling bad, then Wy got it Monday. Blah. It's been a hard couple of days but I'm glad we got it early this month and that it's over!
We had a really nice Thanksgiving with some friends this year. I didn't cook, which felt kind of strange but it was nice to have a break. We just made some sides and took them over. The food was so good but if I eat too much at once I feel like I can't breathe (due to the big preggo belly), which is pretty much what happened, it was worth it though. (: The kids made these cute little turkeys after dinner.
The day before Thanksgiving we put our tree up and got the Christmas decor out. Let's just say Daddy is super excited this year. He had all the shopping done in the beginning of November and most presents wrapped by mid month. He even put some stocking stuffers in the kids stockings. He's done this in years past but Bianca was too small to reach, this year was different. The minute she noticed a small bump in hers she pulled all the stockings down and dumped them. Needless to say, they went back into hiding.
We don't hang out stockings on the fireplace we've always used a little holder that has 5 candy canes to hook the stockings on. It's crazy because we've got it all filled up for the first time. Even though Clark isn't here, he has a little stocking. And somehow I have a present that says it's from him too. Hmmmm. I've got a pic of our stockings too that I'll have to post later.
As for the Christmas cards.... We have yet to take a family pic. Now that we are feeling better I hope to get a good one and get those cards out in the next week or so. And please send me your cards because I love to see them! I keep them in their own photo album!
