Oldies but goodies...no not mom, the pictures!

So it's mom's fault as she wanted me to post more blogs. Well, you asked, so here ya go! I ran across these from her b-day party when she turned...hmmm....better not mention that number or she might think twice about coming early to help me get ready for Thanksgiving this year. So we'll just say, it was one of her fabulous birthday years:)

Thanksgiving past

Ok, so as I was pulling pictures for our latest 'home update' post I ran across old photos of the first time I hosted Thanksgiving for my family. As many of you know, this is the first year as a Wife and in our new home, that I'm hosting Thanksgiving!! I'm very excited!! So, in the spirit of getting into the fall season I'm going to post these. Plus there are pics of my first house and of course updating as all of you know once you are a home owner you are always updating!

This particular year, mom and dad came down as well as Sean, Kris and Myles. Myles was just learning to walk and my hardwood floors were giving him a run for his money. To preface the story, I had a house warming party the week before where I got a great bottle of wine, Caymus Conundrum (no longer avail for sale in PA...darn state stores). I had also gone to Herman, MO for a wine tasting where I'd gotten some cheap MO wines. Dad had sent me off to the store to get some ingredient for the feast and of course, when I came back he was cooking w/ the $$ bottle of wine and not the cheap-o wine. Dinner of course was excellent!

Our home....updated

From start to almost finish. We still have some finishing touches, but we have a sink and have done plenty of cooking in our new kitchen.
