Eight for Dinner
Last night, I went out to finish my Thanksgiving Day dinner shopping. We always just celebrate with our family....me, hubby and the kids...which is plenty, I know there are some people who have dinner for eight people with relatives included. It's sort of funny that our eight is just our family.
Anyway - after I made my list of everything I needed, minus the turkey (which I got free from work - a 13 pounder) and the potatoes (I had gotten them on a previous trip), I ended up spending ------
Are you ready for this???
70 Dollars!!! For just eight people!!
And that was after I used the store discounts and coupons I had. Man, I'm thankful that I had the money to spend. I'm grateful that Rich thought it was crazy, but didn't really complain. And I'm thankful that I get to make a great dinner, albeit an expensive one. Can't wait to get started cooking and baking everything! I hope it's worth it!

Ready To Go.....
I told Nathan that there was Story Hour this morning and that he needed to get ready to leave, so he ran to his room and dressed himself..........
......then I had to explain to him that it was way to cold to wear flip flops and shorts. He did a pretty good job otherwise though, don'cha ya think?

Being Eight is Great!!!
The Birthday Boy!!
The Cake (which I ended up breaking in half when I picked it up to move it - oh well, it still tasted yummy)

Opening presents
Yes, we're cheap, errr...I mean thrifty and green - we wrap the kids birthday presents in recycled newspaper.

I don't think you're getting it back now Nicholas - looks like Dad has a new toy ~LOL!

The decorations ~ He LOVES the color Orange!
Singing Happy Birthday
We must not sound so great, since he was more interested in playing than listening to us sing
Getting a "blowing" head start ~ LOL!
