Thanksgiving.....

I know this post is about a month late, but we have been so very very busy. I will use this post to catch you up to date.....

 Thanksgiving was great!! We spent the morning with my patents watching the parade and dropping off food that I had premade. My job was to make the Cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, and a new dish this year was hot apple cider. I will post the recipe for the cider in a later post because it was so good I'm making for Ronnie's family for Christmas. So after we watched the parade we went to Ronnie's family to do Thanksgiving lunch. We had a lot of great food that his mom and sister put together. I made a veggie tray that we snacked on while waiting for the better food. :) We then left and went to my families house to have Thanksgiving dinner. The moral of the story is by the end of the night we were stuffed!!

The next morning we got up and went to Elgin tree farm with my family to cut down our Christmas tree. Ronnie helped me pick out the perfect one. It was a little under 6 feet and we loved it. We took it home, made a fresh cut, gave it water, and decorated it with lights and ornaments. The next day I got a tree skirt for our little tree that should have been $10 and the guy gave it to me for $2. Talk about a deal!!
 Well the rest of this month has been all about Ronnie and I running around trying to get everything done for Christmas. I think we have both reached the point of exhaustion and have agreed that with the 2 weeks we have off from work we are taking time out for each other and work. In fact Ronnie told me that he had a surprise date for me. Such a sweet man I have, they don't make a whole lot of them like that.  :)
