We had a really good Thanksgiving this year!  It was just us and our friends Ben and Sophie and their little girl and it was perfect!  Us girls cooked and the boys slept.  The food turned out SOO good and the turkey was moist.  It was the first time ever that any of us had cooked a turkey so we were pretty concerned about it coming out okay.  We had turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, cheesy broccoli casserole, deviled eggs, stuffing, rolls, and pie.  We all ate too much and Cody and I just finished off the leftovers. So we are officially turkeyed out!  We enjoyed Thanksgiving but I'm so much more excited for Christmas!  We decorated the house today with all our Christmas decor!  I love it.  It's just so homey and warm and beautiful!  I'm so so so so so grateful to have Cody here this year for the Holidays!  I've already got his gifts bought, wrapped, and now they are under the tree.  Now just to get Chloe's things.....  Chloe freaks out when we do anything different in the house.  She finally gave up on fidgeting and laid on the couch.  She is so funny.  

Update from my last blog.  My Grandma McClellan past away last night.  I got little information but what I got I was basically waiting for a call to say it happened.  I had to call my mom to get the information but she did pass away.  Please keep my parents and the family in your prayers. 

We made it back from our Ireland trip!  We had a really good time, but since we only had one full day there we packed everything in and we were so tired.  It was a good experience though.  Everything was in English and we were able to ask people questions and it was just a nice break from Germany.  I'm getting to where I'm really frustrated being here, especially right now.  There are some things going on that I just wish I wasn't here!  When things happen back home and I'm stuck here and can't help anyone out or know what is going on it makes it really hard and I get pretty mad about it.  Just please keep my family in your prayers.  Once I know more I will update again.  Cody is doing good, just pretty busy with work and never really getting a break.  He should be moving to a different company soon (December time) so he will have a new boss.  This will be GREAT for him.  He is in need of some down time.  Ready for Thanksgiving weekend to get here, he has 4 days off so that will be a good time for some rest and some good eatin'!  We miss everyone and in about 4 1/2 months we will be home!
