the firrrsstt nooooeeeellllll.....

This weekend we had mother's christmas at our house. it was lots of fun, we played the game Apples To Apples for HOURS!!! then i made supper, with nick doing the grilling for me:) i made grilled sirlons with chili rub and cilantro-lime compound butter and cheesy smashed potatoes. it was pretty much the greatest yum-o meal ever. then cassie made chocolate malts for desert. for the appatizers i made artichoke and spinach dip, beer cheese spread, bbq mini weiners, gingerbread cookies, and fudge. so we pretty much ate all day and we were all STUFFED full by the end of the day:) we got some good presents too, adam and i got a front door for our present about 1.5 months ago so we didn't have as much to open as the others, but that's okay because we get to open the door everyday:) adam and i opened our presents to each other on saturday night. he got me a set of rachael ray knives, they are pretty much the sweetest knives i have ever seen in my life:) and he got me the 2,4,6,8 rachael ray cookbook, a dvd player and a baby book. i got him a bunch of stuff too. i went to the dr. today and my blood pressure went down a little bit more, so that's good. and i only gained 2 more pounds!! that is super good news becuase i have gained to much already:) i quit going out to eat at mcdonalds and taco johns and started exercising, so that probabally helps:)well now i am super tired so i must go, guten tag!!!
