We cut down a x-mas tree!!

Brennan and I went to a 'redneck garage sale' looking house. An old man was playing with his scraps in his yard. We saw an advertisement "xmas trees cut your own", so we did! It was quite the experience. The man handed us a saw and said go find ya one. So we were off on a treasure hunt. We both wanted the perfect tree to light up and sing in front of us like the Griswald experience!
It fit perfectly in our living room!




We are ready for Santa Claus to come!
Merry Christmas!

American Thanksgiving in Canada

Kathy, Brennan, Aaron, and Amr. We had a nice spread of food. Sweet Potatoes-candy yams...lots of sugar and marshmellows. This was a different dish for Canadians. We also had squash and zucchini casserole, mashed potatoes, corn, stuffing, turkey, ham, cranberry sauce, and of course pumpkin pie. I suprised myself for sure. It was my first time making Thanksgiving dinner without my grandma's! Everything turned out just fine.

Brennan had some problems keeping the deep fryer going at first. But with the help of some duck tape, our worries subsided!

Brent and Kathy are posing for me because I had to get a picture of our brown living room. I am a much better painter than I thought! Brennan and I had fun doing this project!

The deep fryer was placed on the deck right in the snow. It worked out good. The neighbors thought we were in some colt or something. They had never seen a deep fryer like this one. We got in Georgia.



Brennan carved the turkey that we deep fried! He did a great job and I think he suprised himself. He was not too turned on when he discovered that the heart and the neck are my favorite pieces of the Turkey!!




Aaron and Amr are two of Brennan's friends who came over for dinner and football.
