What a week. After Riley had her tonsils out We had family come in and visit for the holiday. What a bummer that Lane was in Utah and Aaron and Austin were in Idaho. We sure missed them. It turned out to be a fabulous week of weather. It actually warmed up to the low 60's for a day or two. Girls night out to go and see "New Moon" and then a boys night out to go to a hockey game. The whole gang went to see "ICE" a Charlie Brown Christmas at Opryland. We loved seeing everyone and glad that they all traveled safe back to their homes.

Now it's just a count down to Christmas!!!

Say good bye to strep throat!!! We hope.

Riley has had a battle with strep throat this whole year so we finally got those pesky tonsils out!!! We waited until Thanksgiving break since she would be out of school a week to recover. She was a trooper. I was so proud of her. Our day started at 5 am getting up and out the door to go to the surgical center. 6 am check in and 8 am surgery. She was out of recovery and we headed home at noon. The first 2 days were pretty rough. Poor little thing had a nasty sore throat and head ache. She was living on popsicles and ice cream. Her Thanksgiving dinner was a bowl of macaroni and cheese. She's doing so much better today. Actually eating solid food. I think she will be heading back to school on Monday.
