What is Happening to 2013?

Joke's on me... I thought the September and October nearly kicked our behind, I guess I should have used that as foreshadowing for what was to come. Between applying (and getting) new jobs and family visiting and birthday surprise, it is now Christmas Eve and we are finally winding down.

Remember Thanksgiving? Yeah... that was a gazillion years ago... We had Pasta fest!

And what is a holiday meal at our house without Pellet eating something off the counter? 

Before Pellet's attack

After Pellet's attack

 Traditional feast at Michelle's on Thanksgiving Friday:

Then Norm's dad came to visit and we got to meet BJ and spend a couple of very (cold, freezing) days together

Which involved going here and checking out the beautiful Christmas lights!

A week or so after that, this child received the gold achievement award from these kind folks.

So he had to give a thank you speech:

Because all that is not enough, my high school's football team made it to the State Championships at the Georgia Dome and WON - first time ever. 

Now we wind down..
