Turkey Time

We had a fun Thanksgiving in Wichita Falls. Justin's mom and sister came up to visit and I baked a ham and made potato casserole. Yum! Raegan has had an ear infection. I stayed home from work with her Monday afternoon and all of Tuesday. Her doctor put her on antibiotics and she seems much better now, but she was so helpless looking when she didn't feel well. It makes me so sad. Justin surprised me when I got home from work on Friday, and he took me to Pasqual's for dinner (no baby). Pasqual's is a really delicious restaurant in Wichita Falls. It is one of the few nice places here to go out on a date. Thanks to Grandma and Aunt Katie, we were able to spend a romantic night out for dinner, which we haven't had in quite some time. In fact, I think the last time we got a night out like that was Labor day weekend when Justin got home from S.O.S. and my parents were here. We went to Pasqual's that night as well to celebrate Justin's return home and my belated birthday.

Other than that, we just spent the rest of the weekend hanging out as a family and decorating for Christmas. I love hanging the ornaments on the tree. I try and make it a point to get an ornament for each member of the family every year to hang on the tree. This year I got Justin an ornament that commemorated his graduation from his MBA. Raegan received a beautiful angel that says "Mommy's Little Angel" and her name on it, and I got myself an ornament that has a man and a woman on it with a ring on the woman's finger for an engagement. I've been meaning to get one ever since we got engaged and I never got around to it until this year. It's only been almost four years, but hey, I finally have one. Raegan helped me hang the ornaments, however she was more interested in going through the box and taking them all out than actually hanging them on the tree. I'm a little concerned about the lower ornaments this year since she is mobile, but so far she hasn't paid too much attention to them. Time will tell...
