First Snow and Christmas Cheer!

Well we finally received our first snow. Snow brings out the Christmas spirit so much, I just love it. And with Christmas right around the corner we were all so excited to see the white stuff falling. Andy for some reason thought it was 85 degrees outside and wore his shorts to shovel snow. Got to love it.

Elly wasn't feeling the best and opted to take a rest on the couch. Poor thing, she has been anticipating the snow for a while now.

The Pence 2nd Annual Christmas progressive dinner was most enjoyable. We started at the Madarietas with appetizers and then off to Tyler and Angies for baked potatoe bar. We ended the night at our place with desert. What a fun night full of family and great food!!

Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving this year was a joy of course. Although we were missing family members we sure enjoyed those that were present. This holiday is definitely one of my favorites, where we come together as family and show our appreciate and thanks for all of our blessings. We sure have a lot to be thankful for this year. From a new addition to our family, our health, and especially all the happiness we have in our lives. (I realize this is a be-lated thanksgiving post but with all the Christmas cheer I didn't get around to it until now:))
