11/30/11 - "November"

Today my final "30 days of Thankful" item is, November. Such an amazing month. It brings along a change of season and the spirit of reflection and giving. The chance to reflect on everything we have, all of the good, the gifts we have been given. It's easy to wrapped up in the things we want, the things we're "missing", but there is something about the Holiday season that makes us forget all of that. Remember the less fortunate, remember those that are suffering, and needing, rather than wanting. So, yes, November, Thank You.

I had another pretty productive day. Today's major task was booking Olivia's birthday party. We decided that didn't want to cram everybody in to our house any more for her party's. It's too cold to get outside, I'm not in a cleaning/preparing the house kind of mood this year, so I've been racking my brain trying to figure out what to do for her party this year. After the party we went to this past weekend, and seeing how much fun all of the kids (and adults for that matter) had, we made our decision! I officially booked her party at "Pump it Up", and I'm working on her invitations. I feel kind of dumb sending them out so early, but it's such a busy time of year, I want to make sure people get it on their calendars. So, I felt very accomplished, another big thing, checked off my list!

Tonight we finally used up our Turkey leftovers, and made our annual platter of fried Turkey taquitos. SO GOOD! I seriously drool just thinking about them! Our neighbor gave us a few Christmas lights she didn't want any more, so Christian hung those up anymore. It was a pretty random night all around.

Finally, to end today's post, I have to wish my Dad and stepmom a very Happy Anniversary! Love you guys!

Here is a picture of Olivia, so in love with her puppy.
