I am trying to get caught up in the blogging world...I thought about just blogging about Thanksgiving, but I have to blog first about the week before as there was a lot of excitement in the Armstrong household. First off, my "little" sister started her spring break the week of Thanksgiving and came over the weekend. She ended bringing Kayla with her for the weekend to stay at our house as well. We had so much fun with both of them. Of course we spoiled Kayla like crazy taking her toMcDonalds , the park, etc!!! We were able to have John & Beth as well as James & Laura over Sunday after church to have pizza and to watch football (football & homemade pizza has become a little tradition at our house after church for this season!!). We enjoyed having the family time together!!!
On Monday, Karen and I drove back up to Karis house where I spent some time with her and Baby Krista that evening on my day off. Of course I loved being able to hold Krista again.
On Tuesday, Tim and I realized we had a ton of things to do before Thanksgiving day. My family was all going to be in town and we were going to be doing Christmas at Thanksgiving. So we took a trip toWalmart late that night around midnight (Tim got off work late that night...of all nights right?!!) We finished up our Christmas shopping that night as well as decided to look at Christmas trees before we left. You guessed it...we bought our first Christmas tree that night, got home, wrapped all the presents and set up the tree. I think we got to bed around 3am that morning.
Tim and I agreed to bring the pies for our Thanksgiving dinner. I guess I should say Tim brought the pies. Wednesday night after work, Tim started on the pies. The only thing I did that night was cut up the apples. He did a wonderful job on the pies making a blueberry and apple pie. They were a great hit the next day!! Needless to say though, Wednesday night was another late night for us.
All in all though, the week before Thanksgiving was so much fun for Tim and I as we got to have the best time making memories preparing for our first Thanksgiving and Christmas together. I love being able to go through our firsts as a married couple!!!!

I'm tired just thinking of all those late nights! Are you two going to be around for Christmas too? What are the plans for the first year?
Tim - Very impressed with your level of home-ecy skills! Pie making, gift wrapping, tree decorating! Exellent!
I'm so glad you're able to spend time with family for Thanksgiving. I'm impressed that you both stayed up so late to get everything done. Since I'm definitely not a night owl, I never would have been able to do it.
I hope you two have caught up on some sleep by now! Thanksgiving was so wonderful with all the family together! We can praise God for this opportunity we had to all be together! Thanks for what you both did to make our time there wonderful!
Love,
Mom Varner
I also don't know how you stayed up so late so many nights in a row. That is even crazier than getting up in the night to feed a newborn... then again, I guess there are some days that you can sleep in.
Kayla loved her time with you guys when Karen brought her for the weekend. It ended up being a big help for me too so I'm glad Karen talked me into it.
Thanks for letting us stay at your place over Thanksgiving.
yahoo for marriage and the holidays in general! You will love it... it's great!
