So, because of some different things going on, one being that Christopher had a LOT of homework during Thanksgiving break, we ended up having to stay in Kentuckiana for Thanksgiving! I was pretty bummed at first, but the day actually ended up going well!!! Even though we've already celebrated one Thanksgiving holiday together, this was the first Thanksgiving holiday in which I cooked the whole meal! :) It went well!!!! Here are some pictures to prove that I actually did cook! ;)
This is our pitiful little turkey! It was good none the less, but it's definitely a "2 person" turkey! :) Thank you "Jennie-O" for this not so complicated, ready to eat turkey breast!
This is the brocolli cheese casserole I made! :) It was yummy!
My first time making sweet potato casserole!!! It was AWESOME! Although my hubby doesn't like sweet potato casserole, so really I only made it for myself! lol!
Also notice the stuffing. This was our whole meal! It was really good!!! And fun, too!!!!
Later on that day, we drove out to the movie theater to see "A Christmas carol" in 3D!!! It was an awesome movie!!!! :)
Then we went back home to enjoy the quiet evening! It was a great day!
A few weeks before Christmas, we started to decorate for the holiday! :)
Our tree :)
Since we were able to go home to VA for Christmas, we had our own little "Christmas Eve/Christmas day" at our apartment!! So for our "Christmas Eve" we just hung out and by the evening, we watched a movie and sipped hot cocoa! :) We even got some snow flurries!!!
"Christmas Morning" at our apartment!
Christopher reading in Luke
Our stockings..and yes, one of them was for Flash! :)
And yes, Flash opened his gifts ALL by himself!!!!! He's such a cool dog! :)
We had such a great "Christmas Morning" just the 3 of us! :)
Then, we traveled home to VA for another Christmas!!! We had a blast!! It was sooo very wonderful to be able to see our family and friends while we were in!!!
Do you have any idea how relieved I was to be able to see THIS LITTLE GIRL!?!?! My niece has grown soo much! It was hard getting used to the fact that I wouldn't see her as much as I used to living in VA! I mean, I lived right next to my brother and sister-in-law, and they would get me to babysit, and I very much enjoyed it!!! I got to see her quite a few times a week. Then of course, after almost 6 months of not seeing her, I got to see her during Christmas!!! She's getting sooo big!!!! And wow is she precious!!!!!
Look at this beautiful family! :) I was so grateful to see my brother and sister-in-law!!!
I was so glad to be home and see my brothers!!! They are such goof balls, but we are the best of friends!
And ohhh how I had missed this lady! My awesome sister-in-law and a wonderful friend!
I have so many more pictures, but it would make this blog post sooo long! :) These pictures are just a few of the memories I captured, being back home!!!!
Want to know what's been happening since Christmas?!?! :) I will do another blog update today!!! And as always, we are so grateful for the prayer warriors that have been praying for us since we've moved here. God is doing miraculous things, as always...and His faithfulness is so very evident even in the smallest of things!!!!! We miss everyone back home!!!
