Busy Beginning to the Holiday Season

Whew! We’ve been so busy around here. Wednesday was spent cleaning and shopping and preparing for the Thanksgiving feast the next day.

Sick of this…

Mom: We’re going to get Kayla to go out to dinner.
Cody: Dad! Where are you going?
Mom: We’re going to get Kayla to go out to dinner.
Cody: Dad! Where are you going?
