I set a small goal for myself. I am going to try and journal every day for the month of Dec. I'm hoping if I can stick with it a month that the habit will carry over for next year.<br />
<br />
This is the journal that I bought at The Strand bookstore in NYC. It is a huge bookstore and I wanted to get something with their logo on it so I got this journal.Jilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10521793716825520579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222755260035244288.post-2179731865422415782013-12-03T17:05:00.000-08:002013-12-05T17:05:48.237-08:0033/365 Tuesday 12-3-13<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What an exciting day. Mom got to go home. When we got there to see her before she left she was grinning from ear to ear and laughing and talking. She couldn't hardly get in the car and get out of there fast enough.<br />

She has come a long way in a month and we are happy and thankful that she was able to go home.

I don't think she could look any happier to be at our house. Pops was able to bring her to our house for the day to celebrate Thanksgiving with the whole family. She was ready to come right after she ate breakfast so they got here about 9:30.<br />
<br />
Truly a thankful Thanksgiving for all of us.<br />

I don't usually do two pictures of the day but I knew I had to use the one of Mom and I also wanted to document the Thanksgiving table and meal.<br />
<br />
Jennifer brought all the decorations over and decorated the adult table and the kids table. My jewel tea dishes went really well with her decorations so we used them for our meal.<br />
<br />
Traditional meal of turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes,corn, green bean casserole, strawberry pretzel salad, hot rolls, pecan, pumpkin and caramel apple pie.

I spent pretty much all day out with Pops and Granny so Brian and I didn't go back out for the evening.<br />
<br />
Nick, Jenn and the kids came over for the evening. Nick brought smoked macaroni and cheese for dinner. <br />
<br />
This was how we ended the evening, watching "The Grinch".Jilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10521793716825520579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222755260035244288.post-582073071962121092013-11-26T16:51:00.000-08:002013-12-05T16:51:59.834-08:0026/365 Tuesday 11-26-13<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Gage and I ran to the grocery store this morning. We got our things and got ready to leave the store and when I turned to look out the back before backing out, this is what I saw. Gage had put his "big" sunglasses on for the trip home.<br />

Brian, Nick and the kids builds the first fire of the season Sat. night while I was scrapbooking so I missed it.

All the kids came over and we celebrated Brian's 56 birthday. The kids thought it was so much fun to put 56 candles on the cake and light them all. <br />
<br />
I love this picture showing all the kids helping blow out the candles. <br />
<br />
Its not a great picture or even good for that matter on the technical side. The lighting and white balance need some help but the pictures definitely captured the moment and the memories and thats what matters.Jilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10521793716825520579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222755260035244288.post-25520229610246511472013-11-23T16:46:00.000-08:002013-12-05T16:47:22.692-08:0023/365 Saturday 11-23-13<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This was above the candy/snack buffet they set up for us. It is a really cute little old house and they have the place decorated so neat and fun. It has 3 bedrooms, a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of room to spread out and scrapbook, or anything else you would like to do with a group.<br />
<br />
I didn't spend the night because I was up early to go out and see mom before I went back. <br />
<br />
After a slow start last night, I ended up finishing a cruise scrapbook that I had started a couple of years ago. I think I ended making 24 pages.<br />
<br />
It was a very fun time and we are already planning on going back sometime in the spring.Jilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10521793716825520579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222755260035244288.post-9672648735547839622013-11-22T16:45:00.000-08:002013-12-05T16:45:32.812-08:0022/365 Friday 11-22-13<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A group of my friends and I reserved the Creative Cottage for a scrapbooking week-end. We all got there Friday night. Some spend the night and others went home. <br />
<br />
It was a great night for lots of food and lots and lots of talking. That's mostly what I did for the first 3 hours but then I kicked it into high gear and got some pages done.Jilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10521793716825520579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222755260035244288.post-24127302124725358982013-11-21T16:43:00.000-08:002013-12-05T16:43:44.818-08:0021/365 Thursday 11-21-13<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Our niece Katie is living with us this year while she finishes her last year at MNU. This is where you will find her every night. <br />
<br />
She spends every evening, all evening doing homework in her spot on the couch. I have never seen anyone do as much homework as she does. (guess that explains a lot about our boys)<br />
<br />
We have enjoyed having her here and we will miss her when she leaves.Jilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10521793716825520579noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222755260035244288.post-88034108493256170582013-11-20T16:41:00.000-08:002013-12-05T16:41:53.293-08:0020/365 Wednesday 11-20-13<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We took a homemade meal out to the rehab hospital for Pops and Granny to eat. I think it would get old eating the same food all the time and I know Mom isn't that excited about the food to begin with.<br />
<br />
We made homemade pizza and of course dessert. These look like I did a really good job making chocolate chip cookies but I have to be honest. They are the Toll House cookie dough tub and all I did was scoop them out and bake them.<br />
<br />
It was a nice change for their meal time and we ate with them which made Mom happy.Jilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10521793716825520579noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222755260035244288.post-59731418162161119392013-11-16T11:56:00.000-08:002013-11-17T11:57:11.556-08:0016/365 Saturday 11-16-13<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
