10 more days till Christmas! This we’re celebrating at my uncle’s place in Briarwood! This is the kiddies’ 2nd Christmas. So exciting, this time they’ll be able to walk and stroll around.

This holiday season I have so much to be grateful and thankful for.

I felt it necessary to change the title of my blog. The old title no longer reflect my new life.

The long Thanksgiving weekend is now over, and there’s so much to be thankful for.  First off I’m very thankful for my wonderful, for she has given me two wonderful children.  I am also for my family, both in laws and my own.  Without both of them raising Roslyn and Liam would be very difficult.  A special thank you goes out to my Mom who has sacrificed a year of her life to help raise Roslyn and Liam in their year.  I wish there was something Linette and I can say or do that expresses our gratitude.

Actual Thanksgiving was quite some fun, woke up at 5 am to get prep the turkey for smoking. The turkey was in the bullet by 6:30am and was done at about 1:30pm.  Just as last year, the turkey looked burnt on the outside, but as I told our guests, it tastes better than it looks. From the comments I got through the night, it was just that.  Although, I think the hickory over powered the cherry wood.  All in all, good food, family, and lots of fun was had.

Friday we got the tree up.  Linette, did most of the work though, she always seems to be in a zone with all that, so I just help out when I can.

Saturday, Randy and Jennie came over to see the kids, which was nice.  Unfortunately, they weren’t able to stay long.  Afterwards though we went to my Auntie Angie’s place for Thanksgiving dinner.  It was nice to see my family, especially my grandmother.  Roslyn and Liam did most of the entertaining, with the walking and touching everything it was a delight to watch.  Roslyn also did her first puckered kiss on my Auntie Angie, which Mariel caught on camera.  That was a special moment indeed.

Now that Christmas season is in full swing, its time to look for gifts for family.

After some research on the internets, I finally got my WordPress blog to automatically update itself. FINALLY!
In other upgrade news, my nook got the 1.5 update which now does syncing to all nook devices and software. Meaning, I can leave the actually nook at home and use my Vibrant to read on my commute, and when I get home, I can pick up where I left off when I switch to my nook. geeky coolness!
