Travis and I have been as busy as ever! We spent Thanksgiving Day at Travis's parents house in Brentwood. Christopher and Emilie and our two nephews were suppose to be in, but Joseph was under the weather so they were a couple of days late in driving in. Travis has been wanting to fry a turkey, and with the help of his father and a fire extinguisher close by, he successfully fried one and it was the best turkey I have had. The day after Thanksgiving I flew up to Pennsylvania for a two day visit with my family and then was able to fly back early Sunday morning to hang out with Christopher, Emilie, Joseph, and Jacob.
The weekend after Thanksgiving we woke up one morning to no heat in the house. We installed a new heating unit the month before and could not figure out why it would not work until we went down in the basement and found that it was flooded. After three days, and two trips from Hiller Plumbing and Heating, we had to install a new sump pump in our basement, Merry Christmas to us!
We have found time to do some decorating and our tree is up, we have a real tree in our house against Travis's wishes. I also hosted a Kingsport Girl's Christmas Dinner, took a wreath making class with Alissa, went to the Nashville Symphony Christmas concert with special guest Martina McBride, went to Joc and Kaitlin's engagement party, hosted our best friends Joe and Becca for the weekend, and finally celebrated with Samantha at her baby shower. Yes, our Holiday have been busy and it is going to continue to be.
We are so blessed to have loving family and friends, and I hope that everyone is able to take a moment to enjoy your Holiday and remember that Christ is the reason for this Season!

I know it looks burned, but it was not and the skin was the best part.
