Merry Christmas!!!

Welp we haven't posted since Thanksgiving and yeah we haven't taken any pictures either. I need to get better at that. Dallas is the great photographer, but he is done with taking pictures. 

Anyway, not a whole whole lot has changed with us. Dallas finished up his semester at MCC and is more than happy to be on winter break until Jan. 16.  I also am on winter break now. I finished up Friday. It has definitely been a challenging semester for me, but I am learning a lot and I do really love my kiddos. I am so grateful to have the job that I do. 

So now that we are on winter break we are getting ready for Christmas. We have been Christmas shopping a couple of times and have just a few gifts left to buy. Then all the wrapping! Tomorrow i plan on baking now that i have some time this year before Christmas. It should be fun. My sisters and I will bake up a storm. Sorta. This Christmas should be a good one. Dallas and I plan on cooking breakfast Christmas morning at Dallas' Dads. We also plan on a white elephant gift exchange with Dallas' Mom's family which should be hilarious. Dallas and I bought great gifts. We plan on putting up a good fight to get them back. We are also going to spend sometime with my sisters, brother, brother in law, and niece to do a gift exchange and to hang out. More than likely we will watch Christmas Vacation. Charlie's favorite. 

We love you all! And are just happy to have a break and to have each other this time of year especially.

Happy Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year Dallas and I split our time as usual. We started our day with 2 turkey bowls for Dallas and a great workout for Jenn. Out of the ordinary though, I (Jenn) had to actually cook! I think this is the first Thanksgiving I was asked to make something. I am 25 though so I guess I have to start sometime. Everything turned out great. After our morning Dallas and I went to Nana and Papa's place for our first Thanksgiving meal with is mom's side. Everything was really good. especially his moms sweet potatoes. They were made with extra love and boy did we love her for that. After the meal i helped clean up and chatted with the family while dallas took a nap. The turkey kicked in really quick. After Dallas woke up we said our goodbyes and made our way over to see my family and to eat our second meal. Ugh!

So during and after dinner Langley enjoyed her Thanksgiving food. She was in a sharing mood and gave me many chunks of her green bean casserole. She also decided it would be fun to smear it on her own face instead of putting it in her mouth.

Thanksgiving turned out really great this year. After spending some time Thanksgiving afternoon at Dallas' Grandparents house with his mom's side of the family, we traveled out to south Gilbert and had a dinner with my sisters and brother and niece. Joey made the Turkey which turned out great and which Dallas was so generous to carve. Jessica did the green bean casserole and mashed potatoes. Alexis did the stuffing and I did the other green bean casserole and rolls. Everything turned out great and Langley even enjoyed it. After dinner we put Lang to bed and played games. It was a pretty hilarious time.   

Langley got to say hi to her daddy.

Dallas carved that turkey to the bone:)

So this is our apartment well parts of it. all decorated an what not. It must have been late because Conan is doin his thing on our HDTV which is a year old. The lovey wreath on our door was an awesome gift given to me (Jenn) from my good friend Lara Fletcher:) She an amazing girl and really shouldn't have:)

Twilight

Well Friday is the day!!! Twilight is out and I can't wait! It took me long enough to get into the books and after I read The Host, I though ok why not. So I began reading figuring I would loose interest, but much to my surprise I loved them and quickly devoured all 4 books and I am currently reading Midnight Sun online. I have become such a fan that for my classes themed scarecrow for the school fall festival we did a Twilight theme and dressed our scarecrow as Edward. It was a labor of love;)So yes I can now be grouped with the tweeny group of girls and their mothers who will be lining up to watch Bella and Edward's story come to life on screen....it will never do my imagination justice:)
