Happy December

I've fallen behind on my blogness as predicted, so here's a quick update:

We had a very good Thanksgiving, we were mainly thrilled to be able to stay home and not go to work for once, but the turkey and all that good stuff helped too. We went to Grandma P's house for turkey day, let Bella run around like a maniac for a few hours, then chowed down on plenty of food. Good stuff.

The next night, we decided to get the first Madagascar movie from Netflix for Bella to see how she'd like it, in the hopes that we could make our second attempt at getting her in to the $2 theater near us once the sequel is there. (Our first attempt taking her to Wall-E, failed miserably).

Little did we know what a hit it would turn out to be. (See the photo for one of her laughing fits) Bella basically laughed as hard as we've ever heard her laugh for the ENTIRE MOVIE. She did not stop laughing the whole time. So we sent that back to Netflix, and went and bought it at Target for a while $6 the next day.

My semester is nearly over at school, if all goes as planned, I'll be done next Saturday, which will be fantastic. Next semester is thankfully not looking nearly as bad, and hopefully I should have everything wrapped up by next summer.

We put up our christmas tree in record time this year, thanks to Bella helping out mommy greatly. I got our outside lights and snowmen up thankfully before we got our first 3 inch snowfall of the year, so that was very good timing. Looks like we're getting another dose of snow in the next hour or so, so it's going to be a fun drive home for us.
