We lead such exciting lives ;)

The night before my birthday we picked up my in-laws and brought them to our house for dinner. My mother-in-law brought pictures she'd painted for us and Bethany. I'm so excited to frame them and have Joel hang them on the wall. I think that will be a January project that I'm already looking forward to. :)
My birthday was so fun! I had a marvelous time having lunch with my in-laws, seeing Harry Potter, having dinner and a game night with friends! I was just telling Joel I wish we could do it again. :)

Joel and I couldn't make it over the pass and back in one day for Thanksgiving (stupid snow!) so we opted out and instead joined Barbara & Jordan and his family on the west side. Jordan's parents and sister are so awesome and it was great to see them! It was different to not be with the fam doing the things the way they're always done, but we still got to spend the day with fam and nice people. There was delicious pecan pie and we played Cranium. Thanks again Barbie & Jordan for including us in your Thanksgiving! :)

We went Christmas present shopping today for our nieces, my sister-in-law and the family members we drew for my side of the Christmas fun. I love getting presents the people I love will love. :) We're not anywhere near done, but we shall continue tomorrow.

Joel's 26th birthday is Thursday! We both are taking the day off to hang out and do something fun together. We might go bowling. We'll see what Joel decides to do. Next Sunday we're celebrating his birthday with friends nerd style with a LAN Party. Then dinner out and a game night. :)
