First Turkey Day in Boone!

After dinner coma.... I can't lie-we all slept-not just the boys!! This is the first year I remember actually getting in a good nap!


We shared Thanksgiving with our friends Rob and Claire who had to work yesterday so they ate with us today! The food was ssooo good! Thanks for the help Claire!



We had everything from stuffing, to two kinds of sweet potatoes, to mom's cranberries, to green bean casserole and rolls!




We also had fun having a carved turkey on the table!! yum! Dos- I didn't mess it up!





Williams brought over their table and chairs to help us out! I don't know if anyone has ever brought over their kitchen table to someone's house before?! We appreciated it.....
Now it's time for pie with another fun family!

Two SNOW days in one week?!!!

I didn't think teachers were ever this excited about snow days, now I know differently. I woke up this morning with the same feeling I got when I was ten and school was cancelled. There's just something about seeing the beautiful snow fall, knowing you get to climb back in bed, drink hot chocolate and be inside watching it pile up on everything that makes you feel great inside! The family that calls the snow days said it hasn't been like this in Boone for years so can't believe we had two days in one week! The snow plow still hasn't come by our house and it's noon! Good thing I don't have to be anywhere today. Hopefully Adam makes it back from his meetings today in Asheville! Wish Jake and Blake were here to throw snowballs at, ha!

A night with Perry!!

Adam and Perry worked together in the Philippines. Perry was asked to come help give ideas for the new discipleship program so we had her over for dinner one of the nights she was in town. It was so great to finally meet a good friend who I've only heard stories about.
