Thanksgiving a Month Late

It has been called to my attention by an un-named friend that I am really sucking it up on my blog lately. It's not as if I have stopped stalking all of yours, I just have been neglecting mine. Everyday I check to see if anyone has posted anything new and when they haven't I get all bent out of shape about it and mumble to myself something to the effect of "What's the point of having a blog if you're not going to update it?"...blah blah blah. So here is the post I've been saving up since Thanksgiving. We were lucky enough to get back in town from Boise to get to go to Eugene for Thanksgiving(I was really worried about having to have Thanksgiving alone). It was lots of fun, filled with lots of food, and lots and lots of shopping. On Friday Matt's mom took us to the mall for Matt to look at work clothes(yes that's right Matt finally has a REAL job)...anyways she took us because I loose my patience too quickly in situations like that. This is what usually happens
Me: Babe that shirt looks so cute on you, you look great
Matt: (turning in front of the mirror constantly to get a good look from every angle) Really? Do you like it? Do I look ok?
Me: Yes babe, seriously I love it, you should totally get it
Matt:(still standing there) Hmmm...I think I like it. Are you sure you like it?
Me: Yep I'm still sure
Matt: Hmmm..(takes it off thinks about it puts it back on with pants, shoes, belt the whole stinking outfit) Okay seriously you like this shirt?
Me: Nope I don't you look totally gross don't get it...seriously how many times are you going to ask me that...do you want me not to like it or something?
Matt: Just checking
Then he will get the shirt...I will be exhausted from all my hard work and in need of some kind of food and then 20 minutes later he will ask again if I'm REALLY sure I like it.
This is why I like good ol Leslie to come along. She is great at pretending like Matt has never asked her the question before and gives him constant reassurance with no sarcasm or hint of irritation. They can stay in the dressing room for hours with no need of a treat. She is essential when shopping with Matt!
We really did have a great time though and I just love the Holidays!! I'm sad that now they are almost over.


Isn't she so stinkin cute? I just think she's so cute!


Here is Matt resting after a hard day of Turkey Bowl...he dreams about Turkey Bowl all year long...and loves to brag about his skills when he comes home


This is Matt driving his dad crazy by eating all the Turkey he is trying to carve for dinner


We just love them and think they are the best


I feel like when I die I will have all her thick beautiful hair and then we can actually be sisters


Happy Turkey Day!


Grandma Lake...she kept asking me what I was doing and why I was taking pictures of her!





Autzen was not a fan of having his pants pulled down...he asked Matt to please not pull his pants down anymore
