Thanksgiving!

We had our family Thanksgiving celebration/dinner last night and I think it was pretty great!We did it last night because Hailey is going to stay with her dad for Thanksgiving this year. Bj and I worked together to get a huge dinner cooked. We made turkey, ham, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potato casserole, cranberry salad, stuffing, rolls, and pumpkin pie. We had a few close friends, more like family really, over to eat with us and it was a really good time! Everyone left completely full!

This will be our only Thanksgiving celebration this year. My parents haven't said anything about what they are doing this year and I do not get along with much of Bj's family at all so I am choosing to avoid that discomfort and stress this year. We also have a lot to get done this weekend! Bj got a job that he will start this weekend and he will be gone until around Christmas time. My car is not running at the moment so that has to be fixed and we have a bunch of firewood to split and a yard to clean if we are going to move in January! This all has to happen before he leaves so we don't have time to do much else anyway.

I haven't told our landlord that we have to move before our lease is up and I am super stressed about that. I hate to do this because she has been so great. I do know that we can't stay here and have Bj go to school, so it's something that we have to do, but I am dreading it. As far as the pregnancy, I am almost 6 weeks and feeling alright. The only time I seem to get sick is if I'm in a vehicle that Bj is driving. I haven't been too grumpy or irritable yet. Of course, I cry about pretty much everything. The older kids are doing well. Hailey's excited to go spend time with her dad, Mylee and Austin are writing and changing their Christmas lists everyday, and Colton loves stuffing and green bean casserole! Austin still believes that the baby is a girl and calls it she all the time. He's still convinced we should name her Flower, also. Bj and I decided against that and settled on Maci YulaRae for a girl or Logan Burl for a boy. It's nice to get that out of the way! Now, just 34 or so weeks to wait! :)
