Jake's first Thanksgiving Day....

These pictures were taken on Jacob's first Thanksgiving Day; and that was our dinner I prepared: turkey, green beans casserole, cranberry jelly, stuffing and of corse my very favorite dessert/side dish...candied sweet potato casserole...yum!

And here is Matt's Aunt Trudy drov e all the way from Kansas to see us. She was the one who video taped our wedding seven years ago. She also gave us Christmas ornaments that she made herself; we still keep them and never forget to hang thm in our Christmas every year.

Gift Cards for After Christmas Sales

I am having difficulty buying gifts for my parents’ in-law and that is the reason why I haven’t finish shopping for gifts. They have everything they wanted and needed and I can’t think of a better gift than giving them holiday gift card; that way, they get what they want and the money is not wasted. Plus they will also benefits from Pre- Christmas sales. Even the National Retail Federation found that about 40% of Americans take back at least one holiday gift.

At Blackhawk Network's Gift Card Mall, you can buy any gifts you want that you can use in almost all retail stores, restaurants, entertainment center, grocery stores and even hardware or home improvement store and drug stores. Isn’t it great! Our family prefers to get gift cards for Christmas presents than stuff that we sometimes don’t need or want. So when our family asks us what we want for Christmas, we just say gift cards from this and that store; and that saves them from troubles and worries on buying gifts for us.

All Home Chilling !

I was suppose to help at Jacob's classroom today; but since he is still sick, I decided not to go 'though hubby is home, too!. I hope they assume the reason why I didn't go there today. So we are all home chilling. It is gloomy outside and cold outside and you know, it is miserable to play or do something outside home. Tonight also is a Relief Society sisters Christmas Party at church where husbands are invited and babysitting is available. I am not sure if we will attend since both hubby and Jake are not feeling well still. I think we will just skip the Ward Christmas Party this year!!

Video Problem Fixed!

I get frustrated today because the video assigned to Social Spark opps wasn't working. I kept pasting it on the post but still no video was showing up. I got pissed of and asked my hubby what was going on? I thought it was the firefox that caused it, so hubby uninstalled it right away from our new laptop. It turned out that I was wrong when I phoned my friend, Juliet and asked why is it that I can not do it right. She immediately told me that she has the same problem also and figured out a way to do it right. She told me what she did and it worked! Thank Goodness! Oh what will I do without my friends who are so nice enough to help me out with my blogs every time I encounter technical problems? Thanks, Juliet for the helped :-). Blessed your heart, dear!
