"So take this broken offering and make me whole,
Set my feet upon the road that leads me home,
let me walk as one fixed upon the goal,
even though I've got a thousand miles to go..."

Thanksgiving Weekend...

...Facebook-style.

Wed. afternoon: Surprise! Mitch brought me flowers for our five-year anniversary. It's on Thanksgiving, but he'd be hard-pressed to find a flower shop open tomorrow. I love him!



Wed. evening: Traffic, traffic! So much time in traffic! We just want to get to my parents' house...

Wed. night: Thought we'd be skipping the South Lyon Hotel this year. Not so - time to go see some good friends from high school!



Thurs. morning: Mom is so prepared - hardly any work left to do. Boys are in the boat house making our mantel. I better do some studying.

Thurs. afternoon: Family! McGrath and Eccles combined, and we're having a blast. Already talking about Irish Car Bombs on Christmas Eve. Reminded Dad we *will* be going to church that night...

Thurs. night: Everyone's gone and Dad's lecturing about something political - maybe discussing Sarah Palin? Liberal lawyer uncle said he'd vote for her over Obama if he had to choose. Whoa.

Fri. morning: Let the hunt begin! Time to find the perfect Christmas tree.





Fri. afternoon: Staining our lovely mantel. It's going to look awesome!

Fri. night: Back home making yet another pumpkin roll. Thanksgiving Round Two in the morning.

Sat. morning: Just whistle while you work...let's get this house clean. Now our kitchen sparkles.

Sat. afternoon: DeYoung Thanksgiving - so much food! I love my in-laws, especially my sweet nephews. Quality time with my sisters-in-law while they boys futilely go hunting.

Sat. evening: Christa made our Roman shades - such beautiful, meaningful touches to our new home. Between them and the mantel, our living room got a face lift.







Sun. morning: Off to Bronner's with Mom D., Christa and the kids. Hope the boys get lots of that wood cut!

Sun. afternoon: This place is a glorious Christmas extravaganza. The kids are being so good waiting for their group to go see Santa. I want to buy so many festive things!

Sun. evening: Finishing up the Christmas decorations - photos to come. Mitch showed up at the back door covered in deer blood. I think he's been initiated into the neighborhood.

Sun. night: Relaxing with a little James Bond. What a fantastic weekend!
