Catching Up Part 2: Thanksgiving

Hey, I never claimed to be good at blogging, so give me a break!  At least I’m going back and trying to catch up on the past few months.

My parents came out from North Carolina to spend about 10 days with us for Thanksgiving.  We made a trip to Roswell to visit my Gran and go to our old church (sorry, no pics from that!).  We spent Thanksgiving Day at Matt’s Aunt Jeri’s house for some good fellowship and yummy food.

Me and my folks: Some of the gang taking the kids for a walk to release some pent up energy:

While my parents were here, they went ahead and bought us our Christmas present, and Matt couldn’t help pulling it out and playing with it:  A Wii!

Here are my parents bowling:And the kids taking a crack at baseball: And some other cute pictures: The kids enjoyed getting to sleep in the same room and would crawl into bed with each other after waking up in the mornings:  All Aboard!

And this is totally worth blogging about:  Matt built himself a fire-starter for the fireplace over Thanksgiving break.  We have never lived in a house that has had gas hooked up to the fireplace, and he has gotten tired of starting fires like a boy scout (although he has perfected the art!).  Being the expert in combustion that he is, he went to Lowe’s, then the fireplace store and WALAAH, he has himself a fast and easy way to make fires!  And we have totally been putting that puppy to good use this past week! Like I said, he is an expert in combustion, so when I questioned the safety of having the grill’s propane tank inside our house, he just scoffed at me.  Oh the joy of being married to a genius! :)
