Thanksgiving and Babies Galore

Happy Thanksgiving Eve to whomever is reading :) This is my first Thanksgiving where I am actually helping my mother cook the extravagant dinner for everyone. I never knew how tiring cooking can be, but let me tell you...it's a lot of fun! Today, I made a pumpkin and a pecan pie, deviled eggs, and this pickle appetizer thing. Tomorrow is spinach dip and apple salad along with stuffing. It's a big couple of days but I'm learning so much. If any of my girls know anything about me, it's that Ashley is a HORRIBLE cook. We had our annual cookie baking party last year and I figured I would bring this wonderful coconut macaroon recipe, well I must have wrote it down wrong or something because all five batches that I made stuck to the pan or just liquified. So no more macaroons for me :/

As for the baby news! My best friend, Jess, had her little baby girl on November 23, 2009 at 1:05 am. Kira Faye, she is absolutely the most precious thing I have ever seen in my life! Thank you God for bringing this beautiful miracle into her and her husband's life :) And right in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas! Jess and her husband will be moving to Japan shortly due to his job with the Air force. (yes I am going to steal Kira and keep her for myself) hehe The only good thing about this situation is that I am able to visit them in the most gorgeous place in the world, and we will still have Ichat on our Macs, so I know we won't loose touch. That would be nearly impossible for Jess and I. We've become as close as family, and family does not loose touch, even when you are on the other side of the world! Okay just wanted to update my blog about what's been going on, talk soon!
