So Thanksgiving and Christmas have always been a favorite time of year for me. I am very thankful for many things: God's amazing grace that I soooo don't even come close to deserving, my family, and some great friends that I'm just not sure what I would do without some days!! I've found myself a little more emotional this year than years past. There's something about the second year after you lose someone you love that is harder than the first... I found myself really missing my mom this year. She loved the holidays, and she loved to cook!!! She would start cooking Thanksgiving and I think not stop til Christmas - really! She had to share her love to everyone through baklava!! I love the holidays as well, but to say I love to cook would be more than stretching the truth. I know how to cook, and am pretty good at making some things, but loving it...eh not so much. So this year, just like almost every other Thanksgiving I made the broccoli casserole. Yummo!
mom would be so proud! :)
I love family get togethers! This is our newest member to the Hull family-Sam! He is just the cutest little man! It was fun to play, and not have to change any diapers.
The day after Thanksgiving is when we decorate for Christmas. Sydney and Zachary gettin in on the photo op. It's also a great time to move the furniture around and get rid of all those dust bunnies that seem to multiply like crazy under couches and behind bookshelves.
And the view from outside!
Oh!!! And one more thing...I have soooo enjoyed my time off!!! I even got a run in EVERY day: Thurs (in the rain) 4.6m, Fri 4.5m, Sat 6.1m..and planning just a short easy 2 miler for tomorrow. It doesn't seem like much, but for a girl that has been crazy busy lately...it's been awesome!
