Well, we have polished off the Thanksgiving leftovers (yes, including the two pies--that I believe I probably ate most of by myself--here come those holiday pounds!). We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Erin and DJ. The dinner turned out perfectly, even though my mom wasn't here to help with the cooking this year. And as always we played board games in the afternoon and evening. I can't really recall past years' records, but the Women squashed the Men this year in a rousing 4-0 victory (one game of Trivial Pursuit and 3 games of Scene It!). And for those of you that know my reputation for winning at Scene It!, I would just like to say this was an even match. All three games the guys were close, and actually had the chance to win at one point. But Erin and I persevered! Stay tuned next year for the rematch of Battle of the Sexes!
We are not a little tipsy in the photo above. ;-) Just the camera is. We were trying to get a picture of all of us and the camera kept tipping after Andrew hit the timer button and was running back to his chair.
Andrew, the girls, and I had a really nice rest of the weekend as well. We got the Christmas decorations out and made the house look festive while listening to holiday tunes on the iPod. I saved all the unbreakable ornaments for Ella. When she woke up from her nap, she helped me put the finishing touches on the tree. She is a really good helper when she wants to be!
So now we are all decked out for the holidays and my mom and Dave are coming in today for a few days. My mom and I plan on trying to make Christmas cookies with Ella. I'll let you know how it goes!
There are Thanksgiving pictures up as well as a few of us decorating the tree (in the December 2005 album) and trying to get a cute picture of the girls in the outfits my mom bought them for Christmas. Happy December! Only 25 more shopping days until Christmas!
