Can you believe it's December already? I joined the throng on Black Friday and managed to put a dent in my Christmas shopping. I basically just spent my in-laws money since we are given a check & then told to go buy for our individual families, wrap & bring the gifts to their house on Christmas. It seems to work pretty well that way. I usually have a better idea of what Trev & the kids want, but this year I am struggling with the kids! I asked Caleb what he wanted for Christmas from Grandma & the only ideas he could give me were a wii or a Nintendo DS (both which are not in the budget). We bought the kids' big Christmas present months ago and so at least I don't have to agonize over everything!

We enjoyed a nice Thanksgiving this year. We stayed with Trev's parents from Wednesday night- Saturday. My parents were still in town so we got fed twice on Thanksgiving & had the opportunity to see them each day. They left yesterday for Arizona, so it will be at least 5 months before we see them again. They had the kids stay over with them on Thursday night & had a little "Christmas" with them on Friday morning.

This morning Moriah & I are going to make some fudge....mmm! We will save a little out & freeze the rest for Christmas gifts. I tried this a couple of years ago & it froze great, so it will be nice to have it done ahead of time.

I know some of my friends out there are praying for my brother, Dennis, who is having some "issues" right now. If you are, thank you! Please keep praying, he needs it. Right now he is trying to do life all on his own. I am convinced he will continue to fail until he relinquishes it to the Savior. With Christ we can accomplish all things, but on our own the effort is futile, we are not strong enough...especially fighting the demons he is entangled with.

I want to make some changes to the blog, but I do not have time now. Hopefully I will be motivated to work on it later on today...we'll see. You all know how well I do with my updates;)
