I decided to make a family yearbook. I was looking over the year and I cannot believe how fast it has gone by. Last night was the Law Enforcement Ball. We didn't' go because Eric worked, which was good because I am not near the physical appearance I was last year and I would have been unhappy. Anyway, as I was looking for pictures I came to my blog and I can't believe it has been months since I have posted. I have posted to face book but not my blog. We didn't do as much this year for Halloween because we had the twins. The twins didn't even leave the house. Sister Taylor and her daughter stayed at our house and took care of them while we went to the church for trunk or treat. It was really hard for me because I wanted everyone to see the adorable costumes Grandma Jill had made them. The twins were Raggedy Anne and Andy. Emily was Elsa from Frozen, Isaac was a little ninja, Joseph was Gi Joe snake eyes (again) and Ben was a pirate. After we came home, Me and the kids walked around the neighborhood for about 30 minutes and everyone but Ben was done. The I brought them home and Eric took them out.
Thanksgiving, Eric worked, so we celebrated on Friday. Joseph was heart broken, but at least he could eat the meal. Last year he was so sick with the flu he didn't even eat Thanksgiving. I was so excited because we have been watching this show about being a Chef and so I was motivated. I brine my turkey, practiced making homemade pumpkin pie, and even used fresh green beans. Well the pumpkin pie I had made the night before and the kids and I snacked on it Thursday night. It was awful. A couple of minutes later my friend asked if I wanted some left over pie and stuffing. She sent over two fresh pumpkin pies. It was awesome. Friday my brine turkey burned on top after two hours of cooking, Thank goodness I had read to flip the bird opposite in cooking because that saved the chicken breast because it wasn't burned. I will not be brining again. Green beans were hard, and the recipe called for spicy, very unthanksgiving. All in all I will not try new things again for thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was good in the past. We didn't do a movie at the theater either because of the twins and we wanted to stay together as a family so we just watched a movie together as a family here at the house. It was fun. As we head into Christmas I amazed how the year has flown because I was just saying I can't believe how fast 2013 has gone by and here it is the end of 2014. Happy holidays.
