Thanksgiving and Christmas Prep...

Fun times are continuing in our world! Steve and I spent Saturday having such a good time. We both downloaded a program for our iPhones called "Lose It!" and we have spent quite a bit of time starting the process of tracking our calories and nutrition information on the food we are eating. It's an awesome little program and we have had some eye-opening revelations related to the amount of calories in the foods we have been eating. I think this is truly going to be a healthy move for us to really be aware of what we are eating and how we are exercising!!!!


After a quick healthy bite of lunch, we proceeded to the grocery store to start shopping for Thanksgiving goodies. As soon as we got home, we got busy cooking and made Graham Cracker Praline Squares, then Cherry Coconut Cheeseballs, then Butterscotch Haystacks and finally Peanut Patties and Fresh Apple Cookies. The house smelled wonderful!! I'm mailing a bit of everything to Dad tomorrow so he can have a little taste of home even though he won't be with us for Thanksgiving.


We topped it all off with a delicious Lasagna and fruit salad dinner (within our calorie count for the day) and started working on a Christmas project. We are making the garland that will go around the front door entrance to my house. It's looking so pretty.


This morning was church at Cottonwood Creek, taking care of Julie's kitties while she is out of town, then a little more cooking with my guy. Another awesome weekend. :)

P.S. Steve took the day off on Friday and went bow hunting with his buddy, Louie. They didn't get anything, but I think they had a good time. Here is a pic of "my hunter." :)
