Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year, at least for me, was pretty dang awful... probably the worst ever.  One year in high school, I had my wisdom teeth taken out on the Monday before Thanksgiving, and on Thanksgiving I was still so swollen that all I could eat was a roll.  This year was much worse.  Thanksgiving fell right in the middle of my 40ish days of being really sick, and it fell during what ended up being the worst week of my sickness.  I was much too sick to go to the Romney Thanksgiving so Jacob and Naomi went without me and Aleta.  I spent the day laying around, watching Christmas movies, crying, and feeling sorry for myself... haha.  I didn't handle being left alone at home very well, but in my defense, I was so physically and emotionally exhausted from being so sick for so long that I couldn't really handle anything.

I was glad to have this cutie home with me to keep me company though! 

I felt bad that Aleta's first Thanksgiving was so crappy... she didn't get to try any yummy Thanksgiving food, and the only pictures I got to document her day were of her lounging around in her pajamas.  At least she looks adorable!

Bring on Christmas!

Thanksgiving is finally over, which means it is officially the Christmas season!!! Yay!

Before I talk more about Christmas, however, here is a picture of my little family on Thanksgiving: (Please pay no attention to my fat pregnancy face!)
Speaking of pregnancy, I only have 2 1/2 weeks left until my due date! Yay! Then hopefully my feet will stop looking like this:
Gross, I know. And they hurt. So hopefully this baby girl decides to make her appearance sooner rather than later!

Now, on to Christmas!

Jacob and I plan on listening to fun Christmas music tonight, putting up our tree, and watching Elf once Naomi goes to bed... photos will follow! I have been in a cleaning frenzy the past week or so to get ready for the holidays and our new little baby, and I finally feel like I have our townhouse ready to finish decorating for Christmas. So hopefully in the next few days, I will get the rest of our decorations put up!

When I got my Christmas decorations out of our closet, I found 4 pages of holiday window clings. I don't usually like window clings--I think they mostly look tacky and stupid. I only had them in the first place to decorate my classroom when I was teaching. But Naomi loves playing by the sliding glass doors in our living room and looking out the windows, so I thought I would put some of the clings on the sliding glass doors for her to play with. She's not very good at putting them back on the windows yet, but she's been having a lot of fun pulling them off!
