“ALL THAT WE BOHOLD IS FULL OF BLESSINGS” –WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year over at my aunt and uncle’s house, sadly my mom was sick so we missed her. But the food was yummy and the company was great! I didn’t take very many pictures and I wish I would have brought my camera (but I’ll try to remember that next year)

ITS BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS…

Sat Nov 22nd was the day we decided to get our tree this year! I just couldn’t wait another day!!! I know it was super early, and we basically had a fire hazard in our house the last couple weeks up until Christmas BUT it sure made us happy! Bailey had stayed the night with a friend and of course ryley didn’t want to come this year, so it was just us and the 2 little ones.. they were excited!

it was chilly but not really cold and wasn’t raining, so that was great! it didn’t take long to find out big fat fluffy tree!

we decided to get a smaller tree this year (or so we thought) it ended up being super fat and had the biggest stump of any tree we've ever had before!

we had to get a new (much bigger) tree stand to fit the tree, and sadly a week after we got it home and up it fell over and we had to redecorate it all.. it was a mess. so next year we are going to get an even bigger and heavier stand!
