The Countdown Has Begun!

Well, Thanksgiving is over and it's time to start thinking about Christmas!  Today the boys made Christmas countdown chains. Here is how they work:

 Each night after good nights are said,

 tear off one chain and hop in bed. 

 When only the star is left to shine, 

then you will know it's Christmas time.  

The boys are so excited to start the countdown!  I'm a little less excited because I already feel behind and it's not even December yet!  I'm trying not to think about it because I want to enjoy my last few days at the cabin.  This Christmas will be lots more simple around our house!  Anyone else out there feeling worried about this unpredictable economy?  I know I am! Without family and ward parties to host, I'm looking forward to a calm and enjoyable Christmas holiday!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

Guess what we did today? Actually I should say, guess what Jim and my boys did today?  They went out into the freezing cold and built this snowman cutie!  The snow is really wet but that didn't stop these wild boys from rolling snowballs out back! They all have runny noses but loved being out in the cold! What did you do today?  Any Black Friday deals out there?  

Happy Thanksgiving!

Our Thanksgiving was so good thanks to my Mom's yummy cooking!  The snowy weather continued throughout the day which was fun.  It was a small feast this year.  Just the boys and I, Mom and Jim, Michel and Chris, Christian, Emily and cute Paisley.  After dinner, Brody, Case and I hopped in the car and headed to the lovely White Mountain Cinemas to see the movie Bolt.  I actually got to sit and watch the movie thanks to my awesome mom who let Ledger stay at the cabin with her, Thanks Mom!  It was a cute movie. The boys loved it (even though Case cried at the beginning when a bad man captured Bolt and put him in a doggy kennel).  Hope all of you are good and stuffed and enjoyed some time with your family and friends this Thanksgiving.  

It's a Snowy Thanksgiving!

Look what's happening here at the cabin!  It feels more like Christmas then Thanksgiving!  I've never had a snowy Thanksgiving but I have to say, "I Love It!"  We are shooting for a 1:00 Thanksgiving feast and I can hardly wait.  Brody and Sugar made pies yesterday and the turkey is cooking right now.  The cabin smells so good.  I love it here!  

Off To A Rocky Start!

We're off to a rocky start but I'm not letting 3 sick kids ruin my Thanksgiving.  Ledger threw up all night and now has a fever.  Brody and Case are so congested they can hardly function! I'm feeling a little sleepy and smelly after helping little Ledger throw up all night.  I'm so hoping Brody and Case don't start throwing up or even worse...ME!  Since Jeremy isn't here to help me, my poor Mom has been dealing with cleaning up and washing the throw up off sheets and stuffed animals, WAY TO GO SUGAR!  We made a quick trip to Wal Mart today for some feathers and googly eyes to make pine cone turkeys for the big day! Didn't they turn out cute?  It was fun making them! Hope you all are ready for the big feast tomorrow.  Keep your fingers crossed that the throw up is OVER!

We're Here!

Over The River and to the Wood's

The Wood Family Cabin (Sorry Presley, you're name isn't up here yet!)

Our Favorite place to relax...The Cabin!

After a week long countdown, we are finally at the cabin!  We are so excited to spend our Thanksgiving in a place that actually feels like fall (Or winter by the week's end!) We love coming up here to relax, play, and enjoy time together!  I love getting projects done and not having to get cleaned up each day.  I seriously stay in my sweats all day....I love it!  I'll keep you posted on what we do each day but beware, we will not look cute...HaHa!  Have a fun Thanksgiving week!
