Can you believe December is here already?? I know most people are asking themselves "where did this year go?" "Christmas already?" But I'm not most people this year. I am JUMPING FOR JOY! I can't believe how quickly the last few months have flown by but I am certainly not complaining! Kendal will be home in 17 days and I am thanking God for every minute we will be able to spend together this holiday season! Kendal is the best present Santa could ever deliver!
Back it up to November though...because I'm a little behind on posts!
Last Monday my best friend Lindsay and I were invited to Cleveland Browns Stadium for a Ladies only behind the scenes tour of the stadium! Of course, being the die hard fan that I am was THRILLED to go! Hey, I've sat through every loosing game this season at that stadium so it was about time I had something to smile about while being there! The evening was filled with food, drinks, guest speakers, meeting players & visiting the locker room (where I touched everyone's belongings and even snagged a little something for personal collection too...LOL!) Lindsay & I never fail to have a good time and that is exactly what we did!
On our beloved field!

First thing Wednesday morning (4am) Kennedy, my sister, Carli, and Myself all headed off for our Thanksgiving trip to Iowa! After a tough 1st flight with a very tired/cranky toddler and being put in 1st class for our 2nd flight with that same cranky toddler~ Carli and I were thrilled to see Dad pull up in his truck! Kennedy was so excited to see her big cousin Gaige and got to spend all day, everyday playing with him! She follows his every move and I love watching them play together! Thursday was Turkey day and the most of the family came over for lunch/dinner! It was so nice to see everyone...we just wish Kendal could have been home to celebrate with us! Friday we visited Grandma & Grandpa Tripp and then bright and early Saturday morning we were back on a plane home:( It was too short of a trip but I'm glad we were able to make it out there for the holiday! I want to thank my sister for tagging along with us and being such a huge help! I would have been miserable on those airplanes with out you! I think Carli enjoyed her time away from school & work. She learned all sorts of new things on our trip. She ate pheasant for the first time, she also ate scalloped corn w/ oysters (aka "Barf Corn") she drove Grandpa's tractor and she even crocheted a pot holder with mom! I keep teasing her and saying it was just like being at summer camp for her! lol! Anyways, we are now home, anxiously awaiting Kendal's arrival and trying our best to stay busy for the next 2 weeks! Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving weekend! Love you all!

My mother in law made Kennedy the most adorable Turkey dress and dummy me,forgot to take a picture of her in it before she made a mess of it...sorry mom! We plan on having Thanksgiving dinner again when Kendal comes home so I'll be sure to snap one of her in it then!
In the mean time....
