Packing is in full swing. How is it we acquire so much stuff?? Jarrod and I distinctly remember purging our collection before moving to Louisville, and somehow it seems to have all returned and brought a friend!
Though all the stacking and taping has Simba a bit stressed, Eliaya seems to really enjoy it. Apparently we construct the boxes and pile them up just for her to play with.....
(Experts agree, the growling must indicate happiness. Eliaya is one happy baby, she growls at everything!)
Priase! Jarrod finished his fall semester this morning! One more class stands between us and FL
We were planning on not decorating for Christmas with the impending move... but we couldn't help ourselves! This is definitely the Reed family's favorite time of year. I'm pretty sure even E likes it, she stands next to the lighted tree for long periods of time (10 minutes is next to eternity for her), just talking and laughing. I'm sure she's plotting how to get around the barricade and attack the presents sitting under the tree.... but so far her schemes have been foiled.
Thanksgiving was a huge success, Jarrod and I cooked... for once everything was edible! I confess, my turkey secret success is fully attributed to pinterest...... guess I can't go on hating it anymore :) Who would have ever thought of soaking a turkey in water, salt and maple syrup????
Lastly, here are a few more of Eliaya's recent pictures. She's growing so much!

Okay, so this last picture is of "chicken crack". It's a buffalo chicken dip, and it's amazing. If you've never had it, you're really missing out! It's now the default 'what should I bring to the party?' food? yumm!!!
Love you all, hope you enjoy this season of celebrating the greatest gift: Jesus.

ps: hopefully another 1 or 2 editions will come out before the big move... so keep posted!
