Thanksgiving was great! We were lucky enough to spend time with both families again this year. Rob and I hosted Thanksgiving for my family and we went to Long Island the next day to enjoy more fun with his family, grandparents and cousins.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving, Rob's mom hosted a benefit party in honor of Aunt Linda's fight against cancer. The night consisted of lots of food, dancing and socializing for an amazing cause! I think everyone was amazed that I was still able to "bust a move" on the dance floor, despite I was 5 months preggers! Baby Schab and I were having a blast dancing, even Daddy Schab joined me as well!
The following weekend, Rob and I returned to Long Island for the 20th annual tree cutting tradition. Every year, Rob's family, along with four other families, go up to CT to cut down trees. Following the tree cutting, they all gather afterwards for appetizers, dinner and fun.
Rob and I knew it wasn't practical to haul a tree from Long Island to PA, so he went out the following week to a tree farm in Gettysburg and cut down a tree for our house. He did an amazing job (as always) and I was a terrible decorator (as always). Call me crazy, I just don't have fun putting up lights and ornaments, so I kept "pretending" to do other things around the house. I did assist him by cooking an amazing meal and baking cookies. Maybe next year when Baby Schab arrives I will be a better helper :-)
I really loved your blog, but it appears that you have put a lot more work into it. I will keep your blog in my twitter so I can come back and see it again when it has some new information. Good subject!
