Quick Recap

Thanksgiving... mmm...
The Rose's invited us into their home for a fantastic Thanksgiving feast. It was delicious, to say the least.

Black Friday shopping began at 4:30 a.m.
After hitting up Burlington Coat Factory and the mall, we came home $85 poorer but with a coat, hat, and gloves (all for my Christmas presents). Matt's Christmas gift is an iTouch. He says it's helpful for his rotations, but the fact that he can access game scores anywhere there's wireless is another perk. ;)

Skylie had her first sickness.
The poor girl got congested during the night after Thanksgiving and had a hard time sleeping for long periods for a few nights. (Hence, Matt and I had a hard time sleeping, too.) At one point her temperature got up to 100.7, but she was a trooper and stayed pretty happy. We're all glad she's doing better.

Thanks to the West Des Moines Library we're making our way through classic Christmas movies.

We've watched:
Holiday Inn
Elf
Home Alone 2

Up Next:
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
A Christmas Story
It's a Wonderful Life
Fred Claus
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
White Christmas
Mr. Krueger's Christmas

Anyone want to join us?

We're looking forward to:
Church, work, and friends' Christmas parties
Seeing family for an extra long holiday
