Erik's birthday and Thanksgiving

What a week it's been. Starting with last Friday, Steve and I went shopping and got ( we thought) all our Thanksgiving shopping done.  I was tired.  Then Saturday we started on the girls room project.  This entailed getting all of the totes that were shoved in the closet out, gone thru and stuff mostly put away.  Then we moved the piano in there, moved the loveseat and other stuff around in the den and packed up all the dolls.  Way Way Tired.  Sunday I stayed home from Church to rest.  Sunday night we had our November ladies night at our house.. I so love this monthly group.  We always talk, laugh, eat something yummy and pass around babies.  And we actually had most of the ladies do a craft.

Monday I had Eleanor, and she was adorable as usual.  And it was my Erik's birthday.  I love the man he has become.  We had a big family dinner with roast, carrots and potatoes and gravy.  A super easy big impact meal.  Miriah made 2 fabulous desserts.  Yum.

 

Tuesday, Eleanor and Robin were here,  I went to work and then made 4 pies.  And, wait for it, TIRED.

See a pattern here? haha.

Wednesday.  The big day.  Robin here, Eleanor for a short time.  Then big cooking, eating, laughing, friends, SNOW, pies.   It was a really good Thanksgiving.  Latecia came early and helped so much.
  I am blessed with a big family, great friends, a wonderful Church, a great husband, GRANDDAUGHTERS!, but most of all, a Lord who loves me, who died for me, who is coming back for me.
Life is good.  Even when I'm tired.  :-)

The Pies
The eating.
I love that we went from den to dining room and back again.

                                        Eleanor really really likes Liam.  Liam doesn't agree.
