I Can Never Think of a Catchy Title.
Things I did NOT do this week:
Keep down my Panda Express lunch.
Tell a lie on a polygraph.
Put eggs in a cheesecake. (Of course, you SHOULD put eggs in cheesecakes, you know.)
Be a great houseguest...again. Man, I have a serious record for these things. (Luckily I have "family" I can stay with who doesn't judge me, at least they don't tell me I'm an idiot to my face. Thanks again for letting us stay and I promise I'll be more fun next time! :))
Got a great picture on my new drivers license. Of course I didn't do that. Dangit!!
Things I may have done this week:
Ate too much Thanksgiving dinner.
Puked on the side of the road...when we were LUCKY! (Sidenote: While I was puking in the canyon on the busiest stretch of road from here to Provo, Morgan took out his binoculars and stuck them clear out the drivers' side window to create the illusion we were looking at something fascinating on the OTHER side of the road. You know, opposite of where is wife was yakking up the Snickers and Dr Pepper she had for breakfast. THAT is modern-day galantry, my friends. A true gentleman.)
Realized the loss of my drivers' license ON THE WAY TO A POLYGRAPH TEST. Nice. This is actually what caused all of the puking because I get carsick and I was looking through my purse for wayy too long in a canyon. Not a good combo for me.
Shopped like crazy.
Had Coldstone.
Took a drug test.
Had a great Thanksgiving w/ Morgan's fam and dessert w/ mine. Every single person in my family was there and we even took a picture of it. NOT that it didn't cost me bribes and much begging. But overall most were good sports. :)
Ate Cafe Rio!! Hip Hip!
Took the kids to see Santa...and here's the kicker: Nobody cried this year! Sadie took some coaxing to even go near him, but as always he won her over and even had her on his lap near the end.
Took the kids to tons of fun activities on Friday. I have to say, by the end I was beat! I had lost the enthusiasm to ring in Christmas and I just wanted to go home and go to bed!
Had houseguests of my own! That always makes my week! My sister and her kids got to have a sleepover with us. My kids were down there literally shaking them awake at far too early in the morning but it made me laugh because I always did that to my sister growing up. Chips off the old block, I guess.
We had a great month full of more blessings than we can even count. We plan to focus on Christ this Christmas and spend a lot of time w/ our little family building great traditions. Share some of your favorites to give me ideas!
Happy Holidays everyone!

Yay an update!!! I laughed out loud at the thought of Morgan with his binoculars, that is hilarious! So glad you got to have some fun while you were out here, and that the poly is over, can't wait to hear what happens next! Love ya!
we had a puke fest in our family too....no fun. you have got to post the picture of your family!!! and it is none of my business, but why did you have to take a polygraph test?
Alison...one question...A polygraph and drug test?? Is everything ok?haha
I promised I would leave you a comment since I admitted to blog stalking you the other day. :) Maybe puking was part of Thanksgiving this year. After that cotton candy Jeff and I got sick too. UGH. -April
Oh, man, sorry you were sick!! And I'm with Amy...why the polygraph and drug tests? Are you secretly becoming a secret agent and we don't know it??
Hey...remember when we sat next to each other on the plane back from New York and we talked the entire time to help you not get airsick? :) Worked like a charm.
Miss you! Glad you guys are doing well, a few puking incidents aside.
That was a fun post to read. It sounds like you had a great month with lots of fun happenings. There is nothing more frustrating then trying to get a large family photo taken, over Thanksgiving we had everyone there so we took a family photo, all I have to say is fun.

What were all the tests for? I get super carsick too.... I hate it! I'm jealous of people that can read on roadtrips!
