Thanksgiving!

What a weekend! Thanksgiving was wonderful. We even got snow which was so much fun for the kids. Dinner went great. I ended up with only 26 people but that still was more than enough :-) Jerry's whole family came and it was really great. It was the first Thanksgiving they have spent all together in 15 years.



Friday we went to downtown Fort Worth and watched Mr. Magoriums Wonder Emporium, ate at Billy Miners and then went to the parade. We didnt stay for the tree lighting. It was soooo COLD and the kids were very tired from the eventful day.






Saturday I spent all day Christmas decorating. We got the tree up and the entire inside done. Now Jerry just needs to do the outside. It feels great getting it done. Here is a photo just as we finished it. The kids did a great job with the ornaments. I've trained them well on how to decorate a tree, LOL:



Today I spent getting my house back together and gettting all the Christmas boxes back into the attic. Jerry's dad, sister and the kids left today. His mom will be here until Tuesday.

Back to work and school tomorrow. I really slacked off last week so I have alot of catching up to do this week with work and school!

I just love this time of year!

Tis the Season

For Stress! I guess it's my fault though. I tend to bite off more than I can chew; although some of it is not my fault and I totally blame my mother :-)

I have 32 people coming to my house for Thanksgiving. Last year is was only 20 which was hard enough. Last year was my first year to do Thanksgiving. My mother always does Thanksgiving but last year she had sold her house and was in temporary living until the new house was complete. And since Thanksgiving last year was such a success she has determined that it should be all mine now? I was just informed yesterday that the count has expanded to 32 with an addition of 8 people? Now I have to buy more table settings and flatware. Luckily mom is pitching in to help with that expense.

In addition Jerry's whole family is coming in for Thanksgiving so 5 people will be staying with us. Jerry's sister is coming tomorrow and staying for a week? So trying to keep house clean with 4 kids and 2 dogs running around for the next week while trying to get ready is going to be a challenge. Luckily Jerry is a big help and has his honey-do list :-)

Tomorrow Jennifer and I are doing the Richland Craft Show to sell Arbonne. I have been making gift baskets non stop for the past 2 days. Plus I have a Arbonne party in Dallas Sunday. If I can just make it through this weekend I think I will be ok :-)

My First Post

Wow! My first post to my blog. Not too much exciting happening today. Jerry is still trying to get his business off the ground and was in meetings all day. I'm working from home all week which is nice. Most everybody is a conference in Newport Beach which makes this week very quiet. I't's a nice break. Then we have 1 more week and then Thanksgiving week. Where did this year go? I'm going to try and deep clean my kitchen to get ready for the holidays. I have abouut 25 people coming for Thanksgiving this year!


I'm just praying he can get this business running soon, especially for the holidays. This will be his busiest time of the year so if he can pull it off, it will be great! I know he can do it. He is super motivated and is so excited to be running his own business and not having to answer anybody but himself. This is his dream. We are lucky I have a great job so he could do this. Hopefully soon I will be able to quit and be home and help him with business!
