The title says all I've been doing lately! Riding Mandy, Brushing Mandy, giving Mandy numerous carrots and apples to fatten her up etc.

Though, through this, I've noticed that this is the first Winter (Or almost winter) that I've wanted it to....NOT snow, NOT be cold, and NOT RAIN!!!!! But, there are some things that have gone on besides my second world with Mandy.
My thanksgiving was great!! On Thanksgiving day, we made pies, salad's and headed over to my aunt and uncle's house on my dad's side for a meal. Every year for Thanksgiving on my dad's side, we've kept an old tradition of writing in a family journal what we are thankful for before we can start our dessert. I think the first year we started that tradition was in '04 so the book is quite large now!
But this year, my grandma made a new way to write down what we are thankful for. A couple of months ago, she held a "Granddaughter-Grandmother" Night at her house. All my girl cousins came and we spent the night. The next day, we were given a piece of scrap-book paper and were told to draw a picture or doodle with each of our mediate family member's names. Then at Thanksgiving, each of our family members would doodle something on that page with the thing (s) they were thankful for and the page went into the scrap-book! I thought it was a neat idea and a success!
Then the next day we piled in the van over to my other grandparents house. All the men went over with Papaw to help cut wood and the women stayed to fix the meal!
Some of my older cousins brought their friends for us to meet, and we all had a WONDERFUL time!

That Sunday, Mandy was brought to our house! And that night we went to our church to help decorate for Christmas!
My dad's birthday was last Friday. We rented Toy Story 3 (an amazing movie by the way) had his favorite supper and chocolate ice cream for dessert!
And that's about all that has happened lately!! Besides Nora and I having our first spill on Mandy!! :) We are fine though!

sounds like you have been having a good time lately! I REALLY need to call you! That is a good movie! I was surprised the bear was a bad guy, from the advertisements I thought he would be the guy that puts everyone on the right track in life.
Yes, I heard about that spill. Very funny, grip harder with your knees next time. ;)
