I don't know why, but snowy days like today, make me want to listen to Johnny Cash while drinking hot coco. I really don't see how Johnny Cash and hot coco really mix together, but to me they make a great pair. So, here I am sitting in Common Roots, drinking hot coco, eating mack and cheese, and listening to Johnny Cash.

Thanksgiving
Hi y'all!
It's time for another update. Last week I was at Dan's Mom and Stepdad's place for Thanksgiving. They are currently living in lakemoore Illinois, and have beautiful home with a fabulous view out of every window. I had only been out there once before since I have been with Dan, so I had a few butterflies before we got there hoping that the weekend would go well. Once we got there those annoying little butterflies quickly flew away. The group consisted of Dan and myself, his mom and stepdad,Dan's sister Lisa and her Husband Jeremy, and then Their step brother JJ and his wife Mary with their four adorable children Mason, Ellie, Hayden, and Sabrina.
We did a road race on Thanksgiving morning, and I am still thinking about how fast Dan's stepdad is! I tried to keep up with him and Jeremy, but just couldn't do it. What speed demons! The race was in Long grove Illinois, and what a cute little town! I told mom and Heather, that if they could see it, they would move there in a heart beat. It reminded me a little of Harry Potter or something like that.
We went to a christmas tree farm to chop down our own tree on Friday, and what a blast it was! It was cold and windy, but the hot coco and doughnuts were delicious as my ears thawed out. I did not take a lot of pictures over the weekend ( I really didn't want to be labeled as "Dan's creepy girlfriend who takes a lot of photos), but I took a few when we were at the tree farm.
The masked man and his pointy ears:
This is Ellie, and she is simply adorable!
Our trip to the tree farm ended with Dan's stepdad forgetting that the tree was on the roof of the car, and driving it in into the garage, and almost destroying the tree. It was probably the funniest thing I have ever seen. I am still giggling about it a week later.
So there you have it. This was probably one of the best and most memorable Thanksgivings I have had thanks to Dan's wonderful family:)
Have a wonderful day everyone!
