thanksgiving weekend

we hosted a thanksgiving breakfast for both sides of the family. we had tons of food and lots of fun visiting. and were very grateful that both jason and priss were feeling much better after having had the flu on wednesday. we attended my aunt lana's thanksgiving dinner and it was one of the best. lots of great food and even more great company. friday found us at our yearly haunt of picture people getting our slopsema family pictures taken. they turned out so good! saturday was the day to get our tree. jason's dad left after we got back from picking out our tree. we got the tree put up and i went to put the lights on since i am very picky about how i want them done. as i was putting the lights on i realized that out of the 5 strands i had only 1 worked. i raced off to good ole wally world to pick up 4 new boxes. thankfully those 4 boxes worked and the tree had lights. we had decided that this house's tree would only have lights and candy canes on it and the tree at the new house would have ornaments on it. the christmas tree nazi said so...aka priss. sunday found both priss and lil man sick. jason's mom as of today has the stomach flu. swee and i are keeping our fingers crossed that we don't get it.

we have begun packing and it is quite strange to see all our things in boxes. 15 days until we get possession of the new house and 30 days until we close on this house.
