Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year thanks to our dear friends Sarah & Nick and their two great kids! It was the first Thanksgiving we have ever spent away from either of our families and I truthfully was expecting to feel a bit of a void for my moms turkey fixings and traditions. However Sarah busted out an awesome turkey AND ham and outdid herself on tasty homemade from scratch pies and whip cream and crescent rolls and sweet potoato pie that everything was incredibly outstanding!! Shawn says that her homemade pecan pie is hands down the best he has ever had in all his 31 long years on earth!! (And that he loves Kasha & Paydon like pecan pie not just tator tots!!) I am looking forward to Thanksgiving next year when we are settled into a decent house with a nice kitchen so I can go all out.
I am so thankful this year for the wonderful people that we have met that have made us feel so welcome in Oklahoma, I am also extremely thankful that Shawn was able to make it home just in time from the rig so that I did not have to drive out to him since I was sick earlier this week.

Today we participated in a 1st ever for me...I actually ventured out into public for Black Friday. We hit up Sam's Club and Shepler's (so sad that they didnt have my boots I have been wanting in stock!) and also went to a Competition Hobbies for the boys where Nick was lucky ducky enough to get himself a brand new Revo!!! Poor Shawn is wicked jealous since that is his Christmas present and wont be getting his for another month...we made it safe and sound back home to Ponca (without much incident) to replay Thanksgiving all over again with left overs!!! YUM!!! (Shawn wants me to note that they started the Revo and got gleefully high on the sweet nitro fumes!!) Sarah and I and the kids put up their christmas tree, which I greatly appreciate being able to do since this will be the 3rd year in a row with Shawn that I have not gotten a tree!!! HINT HINT SHAWN!

I am racking my brain for updates...the puppies are all doing great! They are getting so dang big and are adorable!! Brown puppy opened his eyes two days after the other two, they are all walking around and playing with each other and mom & dad and attacking feet! It looks like Shawn has decided to keep the brown puppy which we have been calling Rolo. The blonde puppy is hopefully going to be a New Years present for the Smith's- since Kasha basically claimed him at birth and named him Benny. The black puppy we have been calling Mojo, and believe it or not for being the biggest at birth is now the smallest! They are all little porkers! I cannot believe that they are already 4 weeks old as of today! I wish that we would have bought a new digital camera today so I could take some new pics and get them posted.

That is all the exciting news I have to share for now! Stay Tuned!!!!
