I really don't have a lot to post about right now, but I figured I'd put something up anyway as I'm sure my loyal followers are itching for something current.
Mom & Dad were down for almost two weeks over Thanksgiving and we had a good visit. Of course Olivia figured out right away that Grandma will give her anything she wants. I got a lot of "na, na, na, na, na" looks. Thanksgiving dinner was SO good. We had turkey, ham with an orange glaze, mashed potatoes with gravy, YUMMY glazed sweet potatoes, cornbread stuffing, orange-infused green beans, cran-apple jell-o salad, homemade rolls, pecan pie and apple pie. And, yes, I made it all except the gravy. I love to cook Thanksgiving dinner!
Aubrey, Dad and my old boss/family friend Jerry went to the Auburn game. I'm so jealous! They had a really good time tailgating and watching the Tide steamroll those nasty Tigers 36-0. Aubrey was hoarse when he got home. He said that the fans just got louder and louder as the game went on. I know many of you readers hold the Utah-BYU rivalry as one of the biggest rivalries. Nuh, uh. You haven't seen a rivalry (pre-game brawl or not) until you've been to the Iron Bowl. When I have more time, I'll post the history of the game. It's very interesting.
Yesterday I put my house in order and today I'm putting up my Christmas decorations hoping my friends Jody and Emmy will stop by. Jody is a distant cousin to Aubrey and they are both responsible for getting the two of us together. If it wasn't for Jody's sneakiness and Emmy's boldness, we might have never dated. (Of course, Tracy, you played an important role, too!) I'm anxious to see them.
Sunday night our power went off for about an hour and a half. It was kind of fun, sitting in front of the fireplace with candles lit all around the living room. I told Olivia (as she tried to turn the TV on with the remote) that we were living like pioneers. We made a pallet on the floor in front of the fireplace and laid/played there until the power came on again. We actually had a really great time. I'm glad we have a fireplace, because it got cold awfully fast once the heater shut off.

I'm glad that dinner and the family visit went well. I hope you had fun with Jody and Emmy, I miss them. It's ok you don't need to give me credit for the two of you just for not killing him that last semester before you were married! By the way I still must have missed something, I didn't get the 'shame on you for your tree comment'. After all it was put up the day after... Have fun decorating!!
OK, since it was put up the day AFTER Thanksgiving and not actually on or before, you're in the clear. It is a cute tree, by the way...
You have to put up pictures of your decorations.
Sounds like you guys had a great Thanksgiving. You didn't have your mom make the rolls. I remember when she would mail you homemade rolls. Yummy.
Have fun listening to your Christmas music and decorating!
Hey Chey! Of course you can add me to your blog roll. You're on mine now! I'm so glad you blog and we're back in touch too!
Just trying to catch up on all your posts. They were all great. Loved the one about Twilight. Can't wait to see it again. I am still going to do your tag just give me time. Miss you a ton.
Hope I am that sis-n-law you were refering to. (HE HE)
