It's been a long time since I updated...

...I don't even know where to start with updating!!
We had a great Thanksgiving at Dave's Dad's house in Sioux City, IA. When we got there on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, we went bowling and then had a great dinner on Thursday and got up nice and early (3:45 a.m.) to go shopping on Black Friday!! We actually ended up leaving a bit early as Dave was not feeling well. We came home Friday night, but were planning on staying until Sat. But we did manage to stop on our way home at the home of the Blue Bunny Ice Cream! The kids and I and Dave, of course, had fabulous ice cream cones (Dave just had a little as he wasn't feeling well).

Over Thanksgiving weekend, we got our Christmas lights put on the house and our Christmas tree up! It's beautiful. This is our first year with a fake tree...unfortunately with Dave and Kylie's allergies, we're unable to get a real tree anymore :( But we were fortunate enough to get a tree from my aunt and uncle and it's big and beautiful -- we love it :) Kylie had a blast being able to help decorate and thought it was really cool putting her own ornaments on the tree! But I was really in the spirit early this year, I was super excited to get the tree up and couldn't wait to get it done! We also got a lot of our Christmas shopping done early too! Now, we just have to find time to wrap! :)
