Thanksgiving in the Woods.
We had a lovely Thanksgiving in PA with Paul's sister's family. She also invited a few of their friends, and we ended up having quite a group - too many for one house - so we headed to their Stake property and had Thanskgiving in the Woods. It turned out great. Smoking sausage over the fire, drinking sparkly drinks out of goblets, and even making 40 (FOURTY!) pounds of mashed potatoes was a good time in the kitchen.
Christmastime in New Jersey
Since we didn't leave to Chicago until Christmas Eve, we had lots of nice Christmas activities before we left. We had a "friend party" with a bunch of the young couples in a ward. Thank the heavens we aren't alone in that situation anymore. Since we've moved in, about 7 other couples have moved in! The best news of the night was when my friend Kristin bought her handbell set and we had all sorts of holiday song fun with those babies.
The Saturday before Christmas Paul and I went to see the Nutcracker at the State Theatre. I hadn't been to this ballet since I was little, and Paul had never been. It was fun, fancy date night for us - and fun to experience what our local theater has to offer.
On the 23rd of December we had a Festivus party with a few of our friends, but alas no pictures to share. Paul said I got a little party-happy in December, but how can you not? So much to celebrate!
