i LOVE amazon!

Why go to Black Friday and deal with crowds and chaos and no sleep when with a few clicks of the mouse your entire Christmas can be sitting on your doorstep?!  I love online shopping.

I just love this baby because she's so dang happy and she sleeps!
 I'm so glad we had another girl!

I love how excited Kit has become about life and most of the time I love how eager she is to share every detail.  I especially love how she finally loves to read and how much she loves, loves, loves fishing!

Charity's my friend and it makes me sad to think how quiet it will be next year without her (I guess that's why we had Mollie!).  I love how much she loves to learn and how creative she is when she plays.  And I love how much she loves horses!

I love Allie because of her enthusiasm for life. She has a talent for teaching and I love the things she's been able to teach Charity. Amazing!

I love that Sarah makes Sunday dinners!  So nice for me!  Today it was baked potatoes, italian chicken, jello, and her first attempt at homemade rolls.  Yea Sarah!  How cool it is to get woken up from a Sunday nap with the news that dinner is on the table!

This post is in memory of grandma's couch!

She's getting a new couch next week, so we needed a picture.  It was cheap and is worn out, but it's the most comfy couch ever to have a nap on.  We'll miss it.  But we're excited that they are finally getting new carpet and a new couch!

McClure Thanksgiving

*hopefully a picture later*

I love that we have so much fun with the McClures!  All 34 of us . . . and counting.  And I think it's fabulous that we always do Thanksgiving on Friday so we can be together every year.  It was a fantastic idea that has worked out so well!

The day with most of my favorite foods (and looking forward to Saturday with my favorite food--Hawaiian Haystacks!).  Need I say more!

Okay, so more may need to be said:

Ben loves gnawing on the bones and my dad was happy to put the leg on the turkey platter in his honor.
