So with all this to be grateful for, why not say I'm grateful for food! This Thanksgiving was great! We went to Rob's house and it's just not Thanksgiving for me without my mom's pineapple yams, so I volunteered myself to make those. I can't take all the credit though. Rob made most of them. He's such a great helper in the kitchen!
And what can Thanksgiving be w/o football? This was actually before Thanksgiving. This is the only football game Rob's been able to get to this year. USU vs. Boise St. USU got thumped, but it was fun to go w/ family and friends.
Christmas Tree Hunt:
So the Riley's have a tradition of going on a Christmas tree hunt in Idaho every year to find, obviously, their Christmas Trees. Here are the boys getting ready.
Rob brought us back this little guy. He decided he'd make a good Christmas tree (more pictures of it in all it's glory on another post)
Later that night, Rob and I went to find some light for our house. When we got home, it was about 11:30, but we decided to put them up anyways. We got done about 12:00am, but it was worth it! We feel so festive!

I love seeing new pictures on your blog! I am getting SO excited to see you and your cute apartment and all your new decorations. They don't have anything like Tai Pan down here or any of those fun craft stores. I really am going through withdrawls. Maybe when I come home we can make a dent in my checkbook and buy the whole store and ship it down here. :)
Hey, music started to play as I read your blog. You must have set this up, how cool! I appreciate ow far you have come with the use of technology. I like to check in on you now and again. It is fun to see that you are doing so well. You have such an effervescent personality that it just makes me smile to read about what you are doing. Keep up the good work.
Your blog is really cute! I like the music and I really liked reading the 5 things people don't know about you. I wish my life had a soundtrack too. Although, sometimes I really appreciate the silence so it couldn't be constant. I used to always joke around about life being a musical too! That would really be awesome, if you just broke into song at random moments. Oh and I am so impressed with your incredibles costume. I was really disappointed that I had nothing to dress up for this year. Merry Christmas!
Hey,
I found you on Joelle blog! Looks like you have been having lots of fun! I miss everyone! Happy Holidays!
