First, by the lady above. My Grandma Chambers is undoubtedly the best cook in the world and there is no better place to spend Thanksgiving!
We were able to spend it with my grandparents, my mom, and little sister. We played a wicked game of Monopoly and you're looking at the Monopoly champ, my mom beat us all!
I couldn't resist adding this for all of my old friends who remember little Murphy. Yes, he is still alive and kicking! Pretty sure he is the world's oldest dog! I'm certain it is because my grandma and grandpa are taking care of him and they could easily love that dog more then we did.
We had such a good time. My grandma then continued to spoil me by taking me shopping the next morning for some new maternity clothes. I was more then ready, I'm cutting off circulation to my belly. I have one pair of pants I'm still able to wear and they just aren't working out so well anymore. Thank you so much grandma!
Then next day I continued to be spoiled...this time by my favorite store. This next paragraph may anger all you Wal-Mart haters, however for someone who loves a good deal such as myself, there is not a better place in the world. My first year of college I couldn't let Christmas come without a tree so I went to the dollar store and purchased my first tree and ornaments. I've carried that with me through marriage, however every year I decide I'm going to buy some real decorations. If any of you know me, I have a hard time spending large quantities of money. Last year I decided it was the year and went to Hobby Lobby and spent about $80 in decorations. I came home, pondered on it, and returned it all the next day. I just couldn't do it. This year as I put up my tree, I couldn't stand it any longer. While at Wal-Mart buying groceries, I wandered over to their Christmas section and let's just say I was like a kid on Christmas morning. Here is my tree, cost me all of $20 for everything!
This last picture is for my sister Jill in California who still doesn't believe I have a belly, and to show off some sweet new maternity clothes from grams. It is my six month shot and I don't think there is any doubt there is a baby in there! Now that I have some new clothes, he has plenty more room to keep growing!

Your belly is so cute! You look great! Seeing Murphy brings back some memories. It's hard to believe that your grandparents could love him more than you. I remember sleeping over and all three of us sharing a bed.:) Good times!!
I can't believe Murphy is still alive. I totally forgot about him. You look so cute with your LITTLE belly. Isn't it nice though to be able to breath in your maternity pants? tell your fam "hi."
You look adorable! And your tree looks amazing! I love wal-mart... especially if your on a budget or just trying to be thrifty!
You seriously look so cute suzy. Those are hip maternity clothes.
PS as soon as you mentioned Wal-Mart I just started cracking up. I almost forgot your undying love for that store.
I can't tell you how much I enjoy seeing these photos - and your Mom looks great! Can I get in touch with her?
Wow, that's so exciting you are six months along! It's so good to see pictures of you and your family since it feels like forever since I've seen you all. I love your Christmas tree! This is my favorite time of year to see all the lights and decorations!
Oh man, Suzy Lindbloom!!! It's so great to see you! It's been so long! In fact, I was looking through my old pictures a few months ago and I came across some fantastic shots of all of us (Skye, Jenny, Katy, Carolyn, me and you) at Girls Camp, good times! I was wondering what you and Jenny could be up to. I found you and Jenny on Skye's blog, you look so cute with your little baby bump! Congrats, how exciting! I hope you don't mind if I link you to my blog and check in every once in awhile, it's so fun finding old faces! :)

P.S. I LOVE wal-mart too! :)
No worries about Murphy! He was such a little dog that it was no big deal to share the bed:) And now we have some sweet memories!
Sounds way fun! I love your tree and the fact that you couldn't do the $80 decorations! I couldn't either and that's why I love you.
Your belly is so cute I hate you for it.
BTW this is like the 100th comment I've written you and you never have on mine JERK! I'm kidding, I'm sure it's cuz mine is private now so it doesn't show up on your list as updated. I'm forever stuck at the bottom :(
Murphy!!!!!!
Shut up! I have to admit that I sort of hated Murphy due to him humping my foot once ;(. But I am happy to see he is still alive.
I'm sorry you are having a rough pregnancy. I hope you are doing OK. You look great!
You look SOO good! Love the new clothes! Grams is truly the best!
