We put up my Mom's Christmas tree and her outside decorations (by "we" I mean me and mom), and picked up our tree that my Aunt Verlin gave us. This is what Christmas prep looks like at our house.
Yeah, it's messy..
But you can't beat the finished product...MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Logan didnt want to go shopping with me for "Black Friday" until he saw his Samsung Blu-Ray DVD player for a great price in the Wal-Mart ad, and then he became a crazy man.
This is us standing outside Wal-Mart at 3:45, we stood there in the cold til 5 and then I saw something I thought I would never see.
As soon as the doors opened Logan grabbed my hand and bolted through the people who had been standing in front of us and pushing and shoving his way in. I stuck with him for a while, but when he began to encounter shopping carts, the maneuvering became much more tricky and I was quickly cast aside. I seriously wish I would have thought to video this. He was running and jumping and dodging like I have never seen anyone do before. People who say women are crazy at these sales clearly have never witnessed a man on a quest for his Blu-Ray.
We were in and out in under 15 minutes. This is Logan, at approximately 5:30, back at my Mom's house posing with his spoils.
This year it was my family's turn to have us over for Thanksgiving dinner. I didn't end up taking a ton of pictures, but I think you will get the idea.
These are the pies my sister Katie made. She was really proud of the cherry one, so I thought I would take a picture and blog about it for her.
This is my Mom making her famous rolls with her not-so-secret family recipe. She never lets us take pictures of her, so I am blogging this monumental event.
Logan took his Xbox with him and that made him the most popular guy after dinner. Everyone loved trying their hand at Halo3, and everyone had a great time.
Thanksgiving was a total success, it was the first time in a long time that everyone was able to make it over for dinner. The sibs were late, but it all worked out just fine.
The Airport is coming along pretty good. here is a video I got with my phone of a blast last Tuesday.
On Wednesday, Sydney called and got me and appointment with a Dermatologist to get some spots on my head looked at that are suspicious. This morning we went and the spot that Sydney was worrying about was nothing, he called it a wisdom wart. The spot that I have had forever, was pre-cancerous. He still burned them all off. He checked my back, and there was nothing there. Here are the pictures of my wounds.
The pre-cancer is is the big one by my eye. I can't believe that I am 27 and already getting crap burned off my face. Oh the long road ahead.
Thanks to Lucas, Logan had to get Xbox live. It was fun for a little while, but Logan's work buddy Alec plays too and they have the exact same schedule, so every time they have a day off, yesterday and today and probably tomorrow, they play constantly. Logan was up at 7am yesterday playing it and went to bed at 11pm (That's so not Logan, for those of you who know he had a strict 10 o'clock bed time, which has recently been changed to 9 o'clock) Anyway, I got sick of listening him talk to Alec and the sounds of 9 foot Spartans getting gunned down somewhere on the Halo and decided to snap a photo and come blog about it.
There he sits, in his jammies (complete with the "handles curves superbly" shirt), surrounded by blankets, and fighting what appears to be the most important battle of his life.
This was what was really fun about heading up to Elsinore for Aunt Nette's funeral...chillin' with the family. This is the whole gang at our favorite hangout, Bullies. It wasnt as good as my high school memories remembered, but it was good to be back on familiar turf. 
Right now it looks like this...
But soon, it will look like this...
Last night Logan had a friend over to play (Tanner) and we went and got him. As many of you know, Melanie sells Scentsy and I have really been wanting a holiday-ish scent.
I FOUND ONE!!! Yum, Cinnamon Cider is delicious, my house smells like heaven!
For those of you who don't know who we're supposed to be, we are Jim and Pam from The Office. 
Today I made some yummy Halloween sugar cookies.
And I even made some especially for Logan.
This thought came to me this morning as I was eating my low-fat pop tart. Low-fat/light foods help people lose weight because they are so gross they make you lose your appetite completely.
I am oficially in a search for a hobby. This is due to the fact that I am alone all the time. I have no friends, and I am apparently not able to make any since I have not had to do so since I was in kindergarten. Logan has stated that he will provide all things necessary for my new hobby if I will just choose one. This is a generous offer, even though I am certain that my budget is around $20. I'm looking for something to fill in the hours between school and work...basically anything that can take the place of friends and family. I look forward to hearing your suggestions.
Thanks,
Sydney
