On Thanksgiving day, I was greeted with two surprises... A belated housewarming gift from Grandma B... Can you tell what it is?
It is a little house made out of money! She even made trees and a clothesline! How creative! The other one may have to be my favorite gift in a long time... First a little background... All the Justingers (Matt's mom's family) have handmade Christmas stockings made by Grandma J. Unfortunately, her eyesight isn't terribly good anymore and when Matt asked her to make me one, she said that she didn't think she could do it. So, to our surprise, Grandma J had already made it by the time that Matt had asked! We couldn't believe that she lied! I still have to take a picture of it, but it is beautiful... I don't think that we'll hold the lie against her!
I also had the pleasure of attending my nephew's 1st birthday party on Saturday... Here's a pic of the crabby baby living it up...
Then to round out the weekend, we had the Binnings over to assist in Christmas decorating. Malibu thinks that she is in heaven every year when we bring out the tree! (She loves to chew on bristly things.) The tree turned out really great with the addition of a few new ornaments! Just need to get some things for the rest of the house... 
Last update... Matt doesn't exactly have the flu... He went to Walgreens to see the nurse practioner because I thought he might have strep, but it turns out that he has acute tonsilitis. He's starting steriods and something else that he couldn't remember today, so hopefully he will be feeling better soon.

I'm really glad that we were able to see you. Sorry for not coming over on Saturday night things weren't going as smoothly as I expected. We got home from STL Mills @ 8:30 so by that time it was too late to head downtown and chit chat for a couple of hours and then come back and try to get some sleep B was tired as it was. I hope that Matt starts feeling better.
How's Matt?
