'Tis the season for some of my favorite foods including those mentioned in the titles of this post! Heston & I have been using our espresso machine to make wonderful latte's!! We ate the last of the pie tonight, which is probably a good thing. I made Heston's favorite pie, shoo-fly pie. He LOVES it!!
We had a great Thanksgiving break. The week started out rough as I was sick for 3 days, but I made it into work for half a day Wednesday and then came home and started making all of the holiday festivities. I LOVE making all of the trimmings & desserts. Heston had a side job laying some carpet on Wednesday and didn't get home till late, but we still had to run to Wal-Mart so we ended up staying at Wal-Mart til 11 pm! It was kind of fun, though, almost felt like we were kids again!
We slept in Thursday and I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast. We put the turkey and ham in the oven and just waited for the kids to come over. We had 4 college students over and enjoyed a wonderful meal and great fellowship.
On Friday we ventured down to Appleton to do some shopping. We had a great time.
Here is a picture of the Thanksgiving table (minus the food & people- oops!)
Here is the mantle that my mom helped me decorate
Phoebe was mad that her daddy wouldn't let her sit at the table!
That night, Heston & I put up our tree. It looks beautiful!! Phoebe enjoys chewing on the branches but hopefully she will get over that.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Less than 3 weeks of school left for Heston; Praise the Lord! Then it is off to student teaching for him.

Sorry you weren't feeling well, but it sounds like you had a great time anyway! Your house looks beautiful!
Kris: I had never heard of shoo-fly pie until I met Heston. I found a recipe for it in a Martha Stewart magazine. What all does yours have in it?
Janelle: Hope you can get your tree up this weekend! I am sure the kids are going to love helping. By the way, I have not been able to view your blog for quite a while now. It says it is only open to invited viewers. Would you mind adding me to the list? Thanks! Have a wonderful weekend!
Lacey: Looking forward to seeing more pictures of your house! Have a great weekend!
wow! everything looks beautiful! great job!

Hey Kelli,
I just noticed that your plate looks just like mine. What brand and pattern is it?
Thanks Christina!
Janelle: I sent you an email...Thanks!
Kelly: My pattern is Cappucino by Pfaltzgraff. Is that what you have? I love my pattern!!
That IS what I have!!! I have all the accessories too. I like it too, but I HATE that you get blackish/gray lines on your plates from cutting. Do you know what I am talking about? I hear that all Pfaltzgraff dishes do that.
Kelly: I LOVE my dish pattern and all of the accessories. There are still more that I want, though. There used to be a huge discount store by Heston's house in PA where we got dinner plates for .99 cents! Apparently they have since shut down. Only a few of my plates have the black marks on them. I think there is some sort of "cream" cleaner or something that you can use to get them out, sold by Pfaltzgraff.
Carissa: Thanks for your "comment" on my blog via phone! Thanks for the wonderful ideas of the snowflakes in the windows and the wreath over the mirror! I am going to go home and try it! You are a blessing and we will get together after finals are over! Love ya!
Cream Cleaner!?!?!?! I need that!!! I have never heard of it before.
is this a world record for most comments? wow, 20!
Kelly: Here is a "link" to that cleaner for Pfaltzgraff. I haven't used it, but I am sure it will do the trick!! Let me know!

Janelle: I know, crazy huh? I think 4 of them are mine from responding back to people questions, though!
Nice decorations. Where is your house? That is so great you have a fireplace!
