Turkey day was very fun. We got up early to roast the turkey. While Jared peeled potatoes and I stuffed the turkey we listened to Christmas music. Once Conner woke up we took a break and made a donut run. I tried a new stuffing recipe and it turned out pretty good. Next time I will make a couple changes but other then that it was great. The turkey turned out nice and juicy, golden brown and we made it just in time to make the potatoes pack everything up and head to the Turpin's for a noonish meal. It was very relaxing. Edria and Paul Shuey were invited as well and we had a great time. Conner had his usual Turkey, Mashed potatoes, olives and a few rolls. We headed home around 5pm to a nice quite home. We rented a couple movies, made chocolate chip cookies and lounged around the house.
We went shopping on Friday. We stocked up on our annual Fred Meyer socks and Conner got free powdered donuts and apple cider. After we dropped Conner off at Grandma and Grandpa Turpin's so we could do a little Santa shopping. Once we were done we all took a long nap and it was nice. That evening we got all the Christmas decorations out and put the Tree up. Conner was so excited to put his Onaments on the tree. As I was pulling all my decorations out of storage I couldn't believe how much stuff I had. It has been two years since we last put our tree up and most of the decorations were in storage so we had fun exploring all our decorating options. Not everything was put up but alot more than we have had in the past.

Yea, for Christmas! We got our tree put up too. I have the snowman ornament that Conner made for me last year on the tree. When I saw it I thought "Ahhh Conner made this for me."
We missed you at Thanksgiving, but it looks like you guys had a great Holiday. You tree looks so small in that great big house, but it is beautiful :)
The same storm that will bring you snow is going to bring us snow too. I heard it on the news last night (they didn't tell me that you would have snow) they said that a storm was coming from the pacific northwest that would dump a bunch of snow on us. Bob will be out of town on business all next week so he will miss it. You will have to post pictures if you get snow.
