Well, here ya have it folks, an update on life from Thanksgiving to now! We celebrated Thanksgiving here at our very own first home, which was an absolute blast. As the Morris family, we decided long ago that even though we live in the same town as our families we would not share holidays... we didn't want to be the crazy people driving from house to house to appease everyone else and not have a good time for ourselves. Well, I must say that it is WONDERFUL. Not that we don't love all of our family, but it is great to be able to really focus all our energy on just one family per holiday and the time is really quality! So, Turkey day came and the Hayes family (Katie's side) all did the Turkey Trot, sans mom who just had knee surgery and was babysitting the turkey in the oven! The Trot was fun, crowded as always, and I am so proud of my hubby who ran the entire thing! Then we started gearing up for Christmas, decorating the outside of the house and wrapping presents galore! Right before Christmas we celebrated Megan's B-Day (Katie's sister who lives in NYC) by going down to the Bishop Arts District to a darling restaurant called Hatties! We had a wonderful, Christ-filled holiday with Caleb's family! I got my very first I-Pod, which was quite exciting, and got to go shopping for some cute clothes! Caleb got some much needed new clothes and a present that actually came in the mail today, a Blu-Ray player! Following Christmas, we celebrated New Years by going to the Stars game and sticking around for the Big D NYE. I must say that compared to last year, it was a MAJOR let-down... quite a stinker of a New Years. We did enjoy ourselves with Shane and Laura, though. Then we celebrated New Years Day by having Christmas with my (Katie's) family, and celebrating her dad's b-day! Our big present from my parents was a new grill, which we love!! Since New Years we have hit the ground running with work and school for Caleb. It is the busy time of year for Katie with TAKS and it seems to always be busy at work for Caleb, which we are very thankful for! I know it is late to say, but we hope you had a wonderful Christmas season and are waiting hopefully and enjoying all of the rich blessings God has in store for you and yours in 2009!
PS... Sorry for the lack of photos, I can't find my USB connector thingy for the camera!
