Thanksgiving/Christmas

I don't know about you, but the last week has been chock full of activity. 

We celebrated our Thanksgiving as a family on the Sunday before Thanksgiving.  This is a photo of the table in progress.  I just added some candles with acorns, very simple.

Of course, no photo of the completed table.  Elizabeth did our napkins and did a cute job with napkin rings and water glasses.

All the kids gathered together.  This may be the Christmas card.  I ordered them, but don't remember exactly what I picked.  I love that goofy smile on Jackson.  He is at the fake smile phase.

We kicked off the Christmas season with our gingerbread house decorating.  I sent the grands these little gingerbread houses in the mail.  They love getting mail.  I invited them to come and decorate between brunch and dinner on our "Thanksgiving".

These were cute little 3D cards with lots of glitter, jewels and buttons.

Elizabeth had a party in the middle of the afternoon so she got a head start on her side of the house.

I also had these cute houses from the dollar bin at Target.  I bought all they had so I am set for the next few years.

Notice the lack of shirts:-)

Here is where the evening ended.

The next day we all had lunch together, {well, missing the dads and grandpa} and then headed to the Gaylord for our annual perusal of the holiday decor.

The Gaylord always does a nice job.  And we make the kids pose for a million pictures.

We can. not. get. a picture of the 4 of them!

Our season is off to a great start.  The tubs have been opened and there is glitter and fake snow and pine needles everywhere.

Ho Ho Ho

Merry Christmas !
