I was cooking up a storm Thursday! Here is what I cooked to bring to my Mom’s for Thanksgiving..

Green Bean Casserole w/fresh french green beans & I made my own onion rings battered in egg & flour

And a new recipe that I tried..Cabbage Casserole- this was the hit of the party- everyone wanted my recipe!

My homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies were also the hit of the party

Rocking my new hair

This was the only picture that I could find of my Mom’s new house- as you can tell, it’s still under construction -she went very eco- friendly and used mostly wood & Stone

Mandy & I

aaaand Jessica & I

Johnny & Mandy & their little girl, Hannah

And Jessica & I again- I borrowed her shirt & jacket b/c my shirt was driving me up the wall! I felt much better

Later, a few of us rode downtown to look at the Lights on the Square- it was really pretty

It was sooooo cold brrrr!!

and we had to hop in Santa’s sleigh to get a picture

We had such an awesome Thanksgiving- it was so much fun hanging out with everyone as always. And now I can tell you guys the news- remember when I told you that I had some great news, but I couldn’t tell you until after Thanksgiving? Well, my sister is pregnant!!!! I am so excited! I LOVE being an Aunt and I love babies I am so happy for her and her husband and her son is so excited as well (he wants a little brother of course;) As long as the baby is healthy- either one would be awesome Anyway, I’m so happy you guys know now- it’s really hard keeping a secret

I am Thankful For:

Jesus
My husband
My sister being pregnant
Our house almost being completed
My clean house w/soy candles lit- love it!
Heat!!
My Mom’s New Home!
My family and how everyone gets along better
Bloggie friends!

There are so many more things that I could list right now- but it would take all night- when I am having a bad day, I always write a list of the things that I am thankful for, and it always makes me feel 100 x’s better! I am so thankful for what I have.

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?

Congrats to your sister! That’s wonderful news, indeed.

Looks like you had a wonderful, Wintery Thanksgiving. (Love the sleigh picture). Green bean casserole was a staple at my Grandmother’s house as well! Love it!

PS: Your new hairdo looks lovely, it frames your face very nicely.
