Thanksgiving Fun!

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving day. We went out to my cousin Kelly's house and had a huge turkey dinner. It was nice spending time with the family. Alex even got to take his first ride on a 4-wheeler! Shane (kelly's husband) and William (Kelly and Shane's 7 year old) sandwhiched Alex in between them and rode around the cul-de-sac and the yard for a little bit. Alex really liked it! It made me nervous at first, but they went really slow. We had a great day!Wil went to Circuit City on Black Friday and got his new stereo for his jeep and he stopped at Office Max and picked up a label maker for me. (You couldn't drag me out to shop today-people drive me nuts) I love it! I just want to find more things to label. So far I've labeled the bottles for some cleaners I made. I decided that I didn't want all the nasty chemicals in my house, so now I use borax, baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice and water. It's great-makes the house nice and clean and it's totally safe!And apparently a thanksgiving dinner yesterday wasn't enough. So, I made one today! Just a turkey breast with potatoes, green beans and stuffing. And pumpkin pie, of course! It was wonderful!So, yeah, it's pretty sad that I get super excited about a label maker and making household cleaners. Oh well......:)
Alex is doing great. He's been learning more and more and just soaks in everything. I'm amazed at what he knows.
We are getting excited for Christmas-going to get a tree and decorate tomorrow. We went out one night last week and looked at lights and had a lot of fun.
Hopefully I can get new pictures up soon. My laptop has died and hopefully Wil can fix it.

Happy Halloween!

Alex had a blast this Halloween. This was his first year trick or treating door to door. He did a great job and got some nice things! We were out kind of late and he went right to sleep when we got home.
Wil is off hunting this weekend, so it's just Alex and I hanging out. We're having a good time so far. He got a cold the other night and so we stayed home yesterday because he said, "I don't feel good-I want to stay home."
