Our Thanksgiving Holiday

We had a FULL Thanksgiving holiday! This was our first year without being with family, but we still wanted to do something special. We decided to have a Thanksgiving dinner at our house... we had around 20 adults and 7 kiddos come. Everyone brought a dish, and we had TONS of yummy food. This was my first year to wake up at 6am and put the turkey in. :)

So the day before Thanksgiving, we got our first snow! :) It melted within 2 days, and since then, it's been pretty warm. But it got us excited for what's to come! Well, everyone is excited except for Will. The poor child did not enjoy one minute in the snow. He couldn't walk with all of his snow attire on and it made him miserable. We will have to figure something out for him...


Meanwhile, Taylor loved the snow. She and Brett built a snowman together...

Making cornbread dressing the night before... another first!

The kids had lots of fun together on Thanksgiving...



After Thanksgiving, we decorated for Christmas... Taylor loved decorating our 2 trees (1 being a lovely pink one in her room).


To finish the weekend, Taylor and I went to see The Nutcracker. She was so excited to see the ballerinas and loved it! The only problem was that she kept wanting to stand up and dance in her chair. Luckily, lifesavers did the trick!
