November News... ( and a little of December thrown in here too)


Well we had a very busy November as you might have guessed from the lack of posts on my part. I don't know where the time is going but it is going too fast.


For Thanksgiving we hosted the feast at our house and we blessed to have Mike's parents, his brother and his wife Marta and our friends Ben and Angela Peterson. It was so fun to have a combination of people and to have a house filled with loved ones.


We packed the holiday weekend in with all sorts of family activities. We went to breakfast with Santa on Saturday at the Festival of Trees. Santa come by our table for photo ops - then the girls got to go sit on his lap and tell them what they want for Christmas. It was so fun and actually pretty relaxing.


The following weekend I went to Phoenix to have a girls weekend with my mom. We had a wonderful time just hanging out, shopping and we did a lot of talking. The weather wasn't the best (it actually rained for 2 days) so we were forced to go shopping. It worked out well though since we will be there for Christmas - now I don't have to take any presents with me.


So while I was away getting pampered at a spa and shopping with mom, Mike was home and in charge of the kids. He did a great job and even took the kids up into the mountains to go sledding for the first time. It's fun to show them how much fun winter can be since we never really had winter in Texas.


I guess that should bring you up to speed on the Deely's. I promise to post more often - especially after the holidays when things slow down a little.
