Who's MORE excited...

Toree got home from school yesterday, Jenn, Eric & Elli came over for dinner. I don't know who was more excited for Toree to be home - her or Elli. Elli did not leave Toree's side for anything, pretty much she was velcroed to Toree's side you know BFF!! Here are some pictures of the two of them. Elli was trying to teach Toree how to play some "puppy" game on the WII (Toree was a little challenged at the game). They were doing "airplane" and "back flips". It is SO nice to have Toree home!

Lookin" Good...

We FINALLY got the "sitting room" upstairs done! The guys came on Wednesday and installed the gas insert. Billy did the mantle and I think it turned out beautiful! There is still a little work to do on it but for the most part - done! Oh yeah we still have one little place to paint - I just remembered that. Here are some pictures of the insert

oooooh aweee - atmosphere :













It's kind of hard to see the flames but they are really there you just have to use your Barney imagination.

Thanksgiving

Well I had pictures to put on with this post but I couldn't get them to work so I bagged them. We had a GREAT Thanksgiving this year, my kids and spouses and granddaughter were all home plus my younger sister Marge and her family came up. We all ate way to much (as always) and then just spent the day together playing the WII and just chillin. Isn't it amazing how long it takes to get dinner all ready and how fast we can down all that food!
Toree and her friend Karli Mitchell were able to get in a little bit of studying haha!
It was nice to have everyone home, with Toree in St. George it is a little harder to have everyone together.
Billy & I decided that we were going to do the "Black Friday" thing. Ya our big outting consisted of going to Joanne's fabric store and waiting in line to buy fabric! Can you believe that haha..I tell everyone that Billy is a good wife! We bought flannel and also fleece for blankets. There was NO way we were going to go to one of those other stores...there wasn't anything on sale that was worth the craziness that goes on in them there stores!
