Santa Claus is Coming to Town

It's already December and Christmas season!!!

The year went by so fast and we are in the final days of 2011.

Here in the US the holiday season starts with Thanksgiving, this year, like the last one, the Briese Family invited us to spend Thanksgiving with them. We all brought appetizers, side dishes and desserts, and Bobby and Lesley cooked the turkey, dressing, sweet potato casserole and two pumpkin pies. We had a great time with all our friends and ate all the delicious food.

After Thanksgiving dinner comes Black Friday, this year the stores opened at 12am instead of 4 or 5 am, so we decided to give it a try. Borja and I went first to Target, at the time we got there it was funny to see everyone coming out from the store with the same TV and there was a long line to get in, so we went to Best Buy where the line was worse than the one in Target. We didn't have anything important to buy so we went back home. On Friday morning we went shopping to Target, Babies R'Us, Toys R'Us, Bed, Bath and Beyond, Best Buy and the Mall, but we didn't buy that much.

This year the first snow was on November 30th but it didn't last, after two days all the snow was gone, and two days ago snowed a little bit more, but nothing like last year.

On November 30th I also had my second prenatal appointment, it was a regular checkup but I heard the baby's heart for the first time :). On December 22nd we'll hopefully find out if it is a girl or boy!!!

This weekend we are having our Posada, this year I'm making some "ponche" but let see how it goes because they don't have all the ingredients I need, so I'll have to improvise.

We are also having a Gift Exchange with the Vino Latino girls on the 14th and I'm leaving to Mexico on the 15th.

Here are some photos of the Thanksgiving dinner, some Christmas decorations and also the other day we used our new tripod in the night during the snow! Hope you enjoy them.
