Well Thanksgiving is past, and Christmas is on the horizon. This time of year is always so full of wonderful times with friends and family, I really look forward to it. Thanksgiving started out the season though very quiet in the Lytle's house. Tiffany and Kyle went to Chicago to visit Jenni and Justin - we were so happy that they were enjoying this time together. Kyle had never been to Chicago so it was extra special for him. The great part - we got to watch MO for 4 days!
We woke up in the morning and did the usual - made the stuffing, got the bird ready, and made our bloody marys. In our old neighborhood, for the last 10 years, we would all meet at a neighbors house every Thanksgiving after the turkeys were in the oven and would share either mimosas or bloody marys. Fun memories there. We spent the remainder of the day cooking and eating and playing with Mo. He did learn something new on this day - going to jail! He is one year old now so that makes him maybe 7 in dog years. Yep - a 7 year old boy that gets too big for his britches! When he does something wrong and you try to scold him he talks back! He doesn't stop either. It's so funny but it was out of control on this day. So the side of our yard had a large gated area - we called it jail. When he wouldn't stop barking at us, we would pick him up and put him in jail. We would always warn him that he's going to jail if he didn't stop. This is the smartest little puggle - he figured it out in about 2 hours. Too funny.
We went to the neighbors house and played bumper pool for a few hours and had great laughs. It was the perfect ending to the day.
Friday was a shopping day. I didn't get up early - with the stores opening up at 3am I wasn't about to do that. Got a lot accomplished and crowds weren't too bad.
We spent lots of time watching movies, and just hanging out together. It was so relaxing and so much fun. Very much needed.
Next year is sure to be a tough start but since I'm married to the toughest man on the face of the earth, I'm sure he'll fare well and beat this new challenge all the way. I'll keep everyone updated on my blog as to how he's doing. I wish everyone a fantastic holiday and memories that last a lifetime.
