November and December


Hello! It has been awhile since I've last posted. The last few months have flown by too quickly, but I've enjoyed every minute. The holidays are my favorite time of year! Ryan and I accomplished a rather large 101 task - we hosted Thanksgiving at our home this year! My parents, sisters, brother in law, grandparents (Nana Joy and Grandpa John), and Ryan's family joined us for a wonderful Thanksgiving. My mom brought her classic recipes and we all pitched in to create a rather large feast. We played ping pong, charades, Taboo, and ate desserts all the while until the late hours of the night. Thank you family for coming to Florida for the holidays! :)

Now, Ryan and I are in Texas for Christmas and New Year's. We had a relaxing and big Christmas this year. Kristen may be the youngest in the family at the age of 23, but Santa still makes his way down our chimney. :) One of the gifts I gave to Susie, Kristen, and Mom were part of my 101 list - they were "green" gifts. I got them reusable shopping bags that completely benefit hungry children. The purchase of each bag is supposed to feed a hungry child for a year. They all seemed to like them. 

I hope you are all doing well and staying happy and healthy over the holidays. I will update you more later. Love, Terrie
