Christmas is truly wonderful,
and I do love it,
and relish in its month-long celebrations.
Thanksgiving is my favorite though.
It's all the family time and cozy goodness of Christmas,
but without the stress of presents.
Or shopping.
It's an un-diluted family holiday.
Plus, there's pie.
(maple pear is the best!)
And seriously, I love these guys.
...and all their quirkiness.
...especially Emma's.
Although, this last Thanksgiving week with these dudes
did leave me with just one question;
How in the world are Sophie and I NOT married yet??
-sister sleepovers are unparalleled-
Well, for Soph at least,
she's got to go serve a mission first...
in Colorado Springs, Colorado!!
On January 16th!
I'm so proud of and sooo excited for her!
And grateful for her example and choice
to dedicate 18 months of her life
to go preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I'm grateful for my wonderful family,
and for the stellar examples they all are to me.
Also grateful for:
black Friday deals which make replacing my fried laptop
significantly less of a financial burden,
and also my Barbara Streisand Christmas CD.
Agh! Amanda! Every time you post something I want to have a long talk with you over incredible food. (Ha -- basically, I want to date you.) :)
ReplyDelete1. Pears are sooo delicious, as is maple syrup. Can you share that pie recipe with me?
2. I have no idea why you're not married yet, either. It's not your fault; that's for sure.
3. I love Babs.
Sara I would love to share my pie recipe with you!! Also, we should have a pie making/eating night where we watch Funny Girl. Isn't it about time for Funny Girl??
DeleteI love you Amanda Leigh.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love YOU Sophie Lynn.
DeleteYay for Sophie! And it's funny I read this post today because about an hour ago I was sitting and sewing and doing my thinking and you came to my mind and I thought, "I would marry Amanda if I had the chance."
ReplyDeleteHahaha Summer what a wonderful comment!! And for two reasons:
Delete1. You're super awesome and have great style, so if you would marry me,that's huge compliment.
2. You had this thought while sewing. You really are the coolest.
Also, your baby is the cutest, and I can't wait to meet her in person. Love you lady!
