The Best Time of the Year

Merry Christmas to all! It is now December 2nd, and I am hoping that everyone has finished their decorating for the season. Myself, I started my exterior illumination the weekend prior Thanksgiving. Don't worry, I didn't turn on any lights until after Thanksgiving dinner.

Speaking of Thanksgiving, I was incharge of the turkey. It turned out wonderfully. I used the Martha Stewart Turkey 101 recipe. I am probably ready to step up to another recipe, but it always turns out so good. I also made the dressing, which is my favorite part of the dinner.

We also installed a new stove. We were tired of running heaters all winter, so we did it. Mom and I used a stencil and painted the rocks on the background. I was a little worried about it at first, but after we got the stove in place, I really liked it.

So this is my first posting on my new blog. I decided to make one, due to some pressure from Jessica and Kara. I hope you enjoy.
