Happy Two-Days-After Thanksgiving

We are alive and well! I just haven't updated in ...... forever.

Sorry about that. We've been busy, but I haven't taken out my camera in ages :(

Thought I'd get on real quick before I start getting around for the day. Jon ran to the bank (I love getting a paycheck!) and Braden is asleep on the couch. ??? He got up some time this morning. When I got up at 8:30, he was asleep on the couch with the TV on. I turned it off and asked if he was feeling ok. He said he was just tired.... and hasn't moved since!

Maybe he's worn out from his late night! Jill sent me a text Friday around 4pm asking if Braden was doing anything. Vitor (their 16 yr old foreign exchange student from Brazil) wanted to know if Braden wanted to come over and play PS3. Apparently, electronics are a lot cheaper to purchase here in the US than they are in Brazil. Vitor came with $$ and a list of items he wanted to purchase while he was here. He braved Black Friday and now has a PS3.
Braden was over there until after 10pm! They had Arby's, played PS3, and Vitor played his guitar for Braden..... maybe he can give him lessons!..... just a thought :)

Braden has a basketball game @ noon.

I got out our gingerbread house kits yesterday. We may have a decorating challenge this weekend! If you'd like to get in on the action, take a picture of your finished house (that you, and only you, decorated!!!) and send it to me. I'll post them and have a vote!! Jon, Braden, and I are each decorating a house.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!
