Thanksgiving Weekend!

Well Kyle and I had a great Thanksgiving Holiday. It was so nice to spend time with friends and family. Thursday we had a great meal with our friends over at the Taylors home. It was really good, the turkey and all the sides were delicious. I contributed with homemade cranberry sauce and made some yummy chocolate cream pies. We definitely filled ourselves up on that meal.












It was nice to have a relaxing day and enjoy great food. I did miss my family, I have probably only missed one Thanksgiving my whole life with my family, so it was different being away but it turned out to be a great day.

Friday night we left for Richmond, Virginia. We met up with Kyle's family to go see his brothers football game on Saturday. It was Eastern Kentucky vs. University of Richmond. It was a lot of fun just to get away for about 2 days and be somewhere different. We had fun with Kyle's whole family. The game was really cold, but it was enjoyable to watch them play and eat popcorn and drink hot chocolate. The trip ended short and we came home Sunday evening, but overall it was a great holiday and now I am super excited to get ready for Christmas!!

Where'd the sunshine go?

Well I'm not sure if I'm ready for the cold weather, I really am going to miss the warm sunshine. Now that my little one inside is growing, consequently I'm growing. I don't know if the combination of realizing I'm slowly growing out of my clothes and the onset of the winter blues is such a good idea. Guess I will just have to go shopping for some new cute clothes. Kyle had a good time with Craig on Saturday, they went to the MSU vs UofM football game and said it was a lot of fun. That boy really loves his football and is getting sad that it is coming close to the end of the season. Monday I went to my water aerobics class at the YMCA. It was really fun and actually a pretty good workout, I just wish I could have gone and sat in the hot tub afterwards.
Wednesday was another yummy cooking night. I enjoy going and learning new things to make since my meals usually end up being the same. This morning I had another doctors appointment. It is always exciting to go and see what they have to say. I was able to hear the heart beat and it was at 166. Everything seems to be going well so that makes me happy. My next appointment will be the ultrasound to find out if it's a boy or a girl so hopefully the baby will be ready for their debut. It will be at 18 weeks which is a little early but I really wanted to find out before we went home for the holidays. Now I will just be counting down until that time.

Superpower!

Well this past Halloween weekend was filled with a lot of fun activities. First Friday Kyle and I went to a Halloween party which was really fun and we loved dressing up as Superwoman and Superman. There was a band made up of members from the ward that played sweet music and fun costumes to check out. Later that night we went and picked my parents up from the airport in our costumes which was awesome cause everyone was staring at us and I'm sure thought we were so cool.

It was so fun having my parents here for the weekend, it is so nice having family around. We took them all around. We took a tour of the Capitol with a group of elementary kids so that was fun, I felt like I was on a field trip. I can't wait to go home for Christmas and hang out with the rest of the family. Halloween night wasn't too eventful, had a few kids come by for some candy and enjoyed some myself. But in all it was a fun little holiday.
