November Highlights

Paul's been giving me a hard time that I haven't updated the blog (it has been a while), so I thought I'd do a quick month in review. Nothing too much exciting happened - the kids kept us busy with girl scouts, dance, playdates, etc, but here are some of the highlights:

Paul was able to golf at Oak Hill Country club on the 2nd. He had a great time and loved the course.

On the 8th, Paul and I celebrated our 11th anniversary. It's hard to believe we've been married so long already - that is until I look at wedding pictures and see how young we look. (I'm going to try and remember to post a picture tomorrow).

The 23rd brought us all to a screeching halt when Paul, Alli, Joey and I all got hit with the stomach bug at the same time. That has never happened before, and let me say, I hope it never happens again. Not that it's great when it's dragged out over a week as one person gets it at a time, but Paul and I both being down and out at the same time and having to care for two sick kids was no fun at all! Thank goodness Emily was a wonderful nurse - she took great care of us.

The 23rd was also the first time Emily sang in the cherub choir at church. I was so disappointed to miss it (I was already puking when it was time for church). Paul was feeling lousy, but was able to get her there - we hated for her to miss it. She did an awesome job Paul said. I'm still so sad that I couldn't be there.

Thanksgiving was a family, fun filled day. We had an early dinner at Paul's aunt's and then headed over to my aunt & uncle's for dessert - we got their just as they were eating though, so we ended up eating again and then having dessert. Boy was I stuffed. I joined Weight Watchers at work and I'm guessing next week's weigh in won't be pretty lol.

Friday the 27th, Paul and I went out to dinner with two of my close friends from college - Pete & Michelle. It was great to see them and catch up. We haven't been able to get together in over a year (maybe even longer).

On Saturday the 28th, we cut down our Christmas tree. I love this tradition. This year we went to Bauman Farms and got a beautiful tree. It was a great day for it - chilly, but not freezing. Afterwards we had everyone back to our house for a late lunch - of course, we had the traditional one pot dinner. Mom & Dad Presutti, Katie, Mom & Dad Farrell, Kris, Aidan and Brian all joined us this year. Later in the evening, Paul, the kids and I had fun decorating the tree, listening to Christmas music and drinking egg nog. I just love this time of year.
