The McMillins

We had our first Thanksgiving as a family and unfortunately, Corey had to work. However, Gretchen's parents were down for the weekend. Gretchen made everything herself for Thanksgiving. She was really trying to impress her parents. ;) It turned out pretty good. She made a stuffed Turkey, Ham, homemade baked macaroni and cheese, stuffing, candied sweet potatoes, a double layer pumpkin pie, a cheesecake, and a pumpkin roll. It was really good. Gretchen's parents loved it. We think they were impressed. lol

We celebrated Christmas with Gretchen's parents early. Her mom bought her a sewing machine. Now she can really be a homemaker. Hopefully, if she makes clothes, one arm won't be longer than the other. lol ;)

Gretchen was brave enough to go out on "Black Friday" shopping. She got up WAY before everyone else to make it to the stores. She got almost everything she was looking for. She finished Christmas shopping and even finished wrapping the gifts. AAAHHH... how good it feels to be done! :) Now, it's just time to finish baking.

Corey has been working so much lately. He's had to work so much overtime. We're hoping that will end soon, maybe even in a couple of weeks.
