Giving Thanks...

I miss my family...
I talk to them all the time...
I see some sort of arrangment of them at least every few months...
I see my Farmor and Farfar all the time...
But this is the first Thanksgiving without them... and suddenly I'm all emo about it.
I don't think it helps that I'm house sitting and all alone on Thankgiving Eve.
I am looking forward to Thanksgiving with the Hillners, the Joens, Kim, and her man...

So... to make things a little better, I endevored, all by myself, for the first time ever, to make a few of my families traditional things... 

These 2 things have always been present at every Thanksgiving I can ever remember... 

and so I give you...

 

The Friestad Family Bran Muffins

(ok... forget any ideas you have about Bran Muffins... these sucka's are AMAZING!

And since the recipe was for The FAMILY proportion, I have plenty of extra batter to make you some, just let me know)

 

The Friestad Family Triple layer Jello

(Ok... so I think the green was supposed to stay on the top, but it sunk to layer 2, but there's still 3 layers, right? And that middle/1st layer is full of yummy goodness)

Thank You Jesus for family, friends, and Good Food... 

Happy Thanksgiving! 

I clean up nice, huh?

My lovely friend Lauren got her hands on my face today to see what she might like to do for my best friend's wedding next week... oh my gosh... 1 week... this is crazy!

Now if I can just figure out how to get Lauren to come over every morning and do this to my face!

DCFC...

tomorrow night at the Santa Barbara Bowl!

THANK YOU ANDY & ANGELA!!!!

BlogHead...

You know you're blog addicted when you know your friends are gone on a trip and don't have internet access but you still check their blogs multiple times a day for updates...

Gosh... I need help...

Maybe I should start a Bloggers Anonymous Blog.

I miss my friends...
