Thanksgiving is a time to be Thankful

Thanksgiving is 2 days away...you know what that means right...????? If you guessed Turkey and great food you are partially right but the main excitement is a few days off work!! WOO HOOOOO!!!! Wow...what is the world coming to when we get that excited for a day off...when we used to get excited about no school! Snow days! Cartoons! woo hooo!! Anyways, I work a half day tomorrow at my full time job and then a shift at my part time job and then I am off from both jobs for a few days! So excited!

This year we are all going to my sisters house in Merrill, IA, for Thanksgiving! I will be a great time with family and lots of food! It will definately be a good time! My mom, sister, and I are braving the elements (elements being CRAZY Shoppers) and going to do some black friday shopping in Sioux City Friday...I'm sure there will be a post about that later!

Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for people and things in your life.  I have alot to be thankful for this year.  Instead of just reciting a list of people and things to be thankful for I thought I would do a small little picture slideshow :-) (In no particular order...) Enjoy

     

My Grandparents -- truly blessed to still have all my grandparents in my life!!!

 

 My Brother and Sister In Law :-)

 My Sister and Brother in Law :-)

My Mom and Dad --- are they just the cutest!

My Mother and Father In-Law :-)

Debi and Kim - my "extended" Family :-) They are the best!








Friends, Friends, Friends ... I am truly lucky! I have some great friends in my life!  Obviously I could list 100's of photos...but here are just a few :)

 

 

Last but definately not least is my great husband! I am so blessed to have someone love me as much as he does :-) I love him just as much too!

 

 

I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving with Friends and Family!!

The Zambonie and some Chocolate Cake...

The month of November has started with alot of laughter, friends, and family.  Mom's birthday was Friday and it started with surprises...I made mom a big chocolate cupcake, with chocolate filling, and homemade chocolate frosting...I put some candles on top and it was perfect....

Then later on that night we all went to the UNO hockey game where another surprise was in store for mom....dad was able to pull some strings and get mom on the Zambonie between the first and 2nd period.  Mom had no idea it was coming and she had so much fun! See the pics below!!

It was a great surprise for mom's birthday!

More of October...

October has been a month of alot of fun. Last weekend my sister, sister in law, and I all did trash the dress pictures.  If you google trash the dress you will see girls doing anything from paintballing in their dresses to jumping in mud pits...well my sister, sister in law and I did one of these photo shoots but we didn't completely trash our dresses...the worse we did was stand in a fountain...but did I mention it was about 45-50 degrees out and cloudy NO sun....so the fountain was COLD...but man was it fun...here are some teaser photos for you to enjoy :-) More to come later

More to come later :-)

Which brings us to HALLOWEEN 2010.  We had a great time at the Annual Halloween Party at our friends house...every year it is lots of fun and friends.  Here are some pictures below....
