Christmas Cheer is at the Mills house

So this weekend Josh and I had a great Thanksgiving! I think it was one of the best ever :) We had lots of family time and some really good food. We started with my family, Mom made all the originals; Turkey with the homemade Lampson stuffing, Yams, Parsnips, Yummy Cranberry Sauce, Fresh Green Beans with the French's Onions (I made those this year), Mashed Potatoes and Homemade Turkey Gravy. It was all so tasty!!! After dinner I played a couple rounds of Candyland with the kids, I love that game still so so so much! Josh had a good chat with Aunt Sharlee and we were all entertained by Kaylie the 7 year old girl who is quite the entertainer!

After a full and fun time with my family we headed over to the Mills Thanksgiving party. By the time we got there people were just finishing up dinner and were starting on all the homemade Pumpkin, Coconut Cream, Chocolate, and Pecan pies. Yep I was in heaven. Josh had to find room in his Tummy for his Grandma's Famous MONKEY bread and homemade fried rice. We love spending time with the Mills and are so grateful for having such a fun group to hang out with. O ya and we all write in grandmas Thanksgiving book each year and thought it would be fun to see what Josh had wrote about the past few years, well in 2001 Josh said "I am grateful for my family, my friends, and all those pretty girls out there" I just thought that was so funny I just had to share! 

Once we had been stuffed and visited with everyone we went off for the Mills sibling tradition. Movie night at the dollar theater :) We saw the Dark Knight and it was just as good the second time as it was the first. We are so grateful to have family living so close to us and to be able to get along so well with everyone! We are also grateful to have so many nice things and to live where we do and enjoy all the freedoms we have!

Ok now on to the way fun and exciting pictures!!! Im really sorry I didn't get any pics from Thanksgiving but when I got my camera out it was all out of batteries :( But don't be too sad here is the Christmas Cheer thus far in the Mills Residence!!!

Aw, the days of decorating before babies, you get it all done in one shot. Parish and I tried to get our Christmas stuff out this weekend, and we got our tree up, but no lights or decorations yet :) Your house looks great!
