Well, Thanksgiving was a little different for us this year. Because of my show and Zack having to work, we were unable to drive down to Houston to spend the holiday with my family. Instead, I spent the day with the sweet Anthony family while Zack worked and then we spent a quiet night together at home. To make up for our simple evening, we had an amazing "Friendsgiving" the following Sunday. It was wonderful :) We had some of our best friends over, cooked a turkey, had homemade cranberry sauce, dressing and delicious desserts. After a long day of cooking and then enjoying, we played some games, drank some wine, and laughed a lot. The games started out girls vs. boys, and of course, the GIRLS won!!! We couldn't have asked for a better evening and are so blessed with such wonderful friends.
After that, we jumped right into the Christmas season!! Zack did an amazing job putting up our first Christmas tree, and we are gradually increasing our ornament collection :) We started with only a handful and now have a whole treefull!! We even have our gifts wrapped and placed under the tree! It has been so much fun decorating for the season, and I will be SO sad when it is time to put them all away.
For the past couple of weeks, I have been performing in Casa Manana's
Santa Claus, the Musical. It has been so rewarding and I am so thankful to have this opportunity. The people in the cast alone make it worthwhile :) If you are looking for something to do before Christmas, come on out to the dome!! Zack has already made it twice!
Christmas can't get here fast enough and there's only one week left until my birthday, but in the meantime we are spending time with friends and family, working our tails off and having the occasional date night to celebrate. We will be missing the Gardner's this Christmas, but can't wait to drive out to Memphis to see the Robbins'. :) Sending out blessings and love to all of our loved ones this holiday season.
