Our Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Although we did not travel and get to see family this year, we spent our week with our close friends The Sheets Family. Our holiday started with a sleepover at our house with Gideon. All the kids played together, and then helped make and eat rice krispie treats. After Daisha andNaomi went home, Madison and Gideon watched The Cat In The Hat. We read books, sang songs and said our prayers. It took a little while, but they both fell asleep and stayed asleep all night. In the morning they tiptoed hand in hand into our room to wake us up with their sweet voices. It was a fun night!
After work on Wednesday, Brian surprised me with getting out all of our Christmas decorations, so we decorated our tree real early this year. The kids had a blast decorating it, and Hudson was amazed by it. It was hard for him to get the ornaments to hang on the branches, so when he finally got it, he yelled, "yeah...I did it" and gave me a giant hug.
Thanksgiving day was an eating fest. Brian cooked us all a Grandma Jean style big breakfast. Then we feasted at Debbie's (JR's Mom) house with the Sheets family. It was a laid back day filled with eating, playing games, watching movies, and good conversation.
Friday and Saturday consisted of Brian and I both taking turns going into work, doing a little shopping, and getting in some relaxation as well! I was also able to make Madison's Christmas dress (pictures to come later).
We are definitely enjoying the holiday season so far!
We truly have a lot to be thankful for!
