Thanksgiving and Now Christmas...

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving- tons of family time, just how I like it! Since Tommy and Melonie were blessing Caleb the Sunday after Thanksgiving, we flew up to celebrate!

Thanks for the cheesy smiles everyone :)

The kids had a BLAST... and I mean blast. Tyler keeps telling me he misses his cousins.

We had quite a bit of snow which was a nice treat! Jeff even got to take Tyler sledding which they had a blast--maybe I'll add a video later.

And Melonie made these darling Turkey Shirts for all the kids!!

We had an endless supply of laughs... especially the one time I pulled out my camera

and had to get one of the "originals"

And one of my very favorite parts of the trip was holding this little cutie pie. Look at those eyes!!

After our Thanksgiving celebrations, we moved right on to Christmas with Lily's dance performance and a visit to Santa's Workshop. Monday night they got their Christmas Tree and Tuesday the lights went up, we did some shopping and got right into the holiday spirit! (somehow since I've gotten home and have a few too many to-do's on my list I'm feeling a little more like the Grinch.)

Jackson asked for a Choo Choo Train and Tyler asked for "a rhino. But not the soft kind, the hard kind" Although today he told me he changed his mind and wants a black helicopter. I told him he'll have to write him a letter and how nice of you to give Santa so many details, I bet he loves that :)
