Nutcracker night!

Tonight was the annual Hales Nutcracker party. We went over to Frank and Susan's house and pigged out on "knick-knacks". Those are finger foods for you northern folk...haha. We had meatballs, sausage balls, cocktail weenies...you can see where this is going. Anyway, after we ate, we all found a spot in the living. Each of the guys get a themed nutcracker every year from Frank and Susan. Each girl gets a Christmas figurine or decoration. This year I got an Irish nutcracker since I like Notre Dame. Mackenzie opened an M&M nutcracker dispenser and Sally got a nice figurine. After that, we all ate cheesecake and sat around awhile until we got sleepy. So, Christmas party 2 of 6 is in the books. Next weekend we are busy with parties leading up to Christmas week. Hope everyone is doing well. Until next time...

A month!?

I can't believe it's been a month since we last updated...sorry about that. We've been extremely busy and November absolutely flew by us. We had a great time in Daytona over Thanksgiving. Mackenzie enjoyed the beach and our long walks to the pier for lunch. It was nice and warm down there and we got to swim and enjoy being outside. We had our first Christmas party of the season last weekend and Mackenzie got to meet Santa for the first time and even opened up her first present. I'm gonna try to keep this updated weekly but I can't promise anything...haha. It won't be long until we make our trek up to Indiana for New Year's. Hope everybody is doing well!
