22nd- 30 November (Tuesday) Elee's bday, car accident, Thanksgiving!

~Last week Nov 22nd (Sunday in the middle of the night): terrible migraine. Puked. Took Imitrex TWICE....finally kicked to let me sleep. Richie took Monday off of work to take kids to school.

~ Nov 23rd: Skipped my Deutsch class on Tuesday.

~Nov 24th Wednesday: Elee's 6th birthday!!! First day of SNOW for the year. And It stayed! Richie and I wrapped his presents with newspaper the night before.
~ Richie got in a car accident on the way home from work and the grocery store. He was rear ended on the autobahn. He was okay! Thank you Jesus! When he came home Elee opened his presents. He got a big plush shark and shark puzzle from us. He LOVED the huge shark. It's as tall as him! He also opened A HUGE box of legos from Aunt Susie. A card with money from gma Rox, a card with money from great gma marion, and a card w/ money from gma margaret. he felt very special!!

~Nov 25th (thanksgiving): So much to be thankful for! We went to the chowhall on base for thanksgiving meal. Lots of food! AND dessert! The best thing....no dishes! It was great! The funniest thing was that Elee ate Lobster Tail and a whole HUGE Orange Glazed Cornish Hen leg. We sat near a tv where they were playing cartoons. It was a very relaxing meal. :)Talked with Richie's family on the phone and also my Papa Don. I sure miss him.

~Nov 26th (Friday): Richie took this day off and we cleaned the house! Got ready for Elee's birthday party!

~Nov 27th: Elee's birthday party was from 12-3pm. It was great! We ordered pizza and had it delivered. I made some other food to go with it. His shark cake turned out GREAT! I drew on parchment the outline of the cake pan and then drew the shark on the paper to use as my template. I used candy corn as the shark teeth.

There were about 20 kids that came and he had a fun time running around the house with his friends.







~Nov 28th: Helped lead worship at church this morning. I love being able to do this. Thankful for Richie for watching the kids during this time. He's the best!
Skyped with Carrie Hurst for the first time! YAY! It was so cool that she got to see all the kids! Skyped with Lolly and Chad and boys and also Clinton and the boys.

~Nov 30th (Tuesday): The roads were bad today. More snow! I drove to Walluf (about 20 minutes...today it took 40 minutes) for my 'Mama lernt Deutsch kurs'. Not many ladies were in the class today.
~Richie got a new rental car today. The one they gave him yesterday was super small and didn't have winter tires. We have snow here and that wasn't going to work living where it's hilly. So he got a nice BMW rental for two weeks.
