Thanksgiving....and more

I'm having a hard time keeping up....can you tell?

We had a great Thanksgiving this year with Jason's family. I can't remember the last time that we got to spend Thanksgiving with his side of the family, so it was really nice to be able to go.

His sister made the THANKSGIVING FEAST... Her husband deep fried the turkey and Jason and I both thought that it was the best turkey that we've ever had!! Everything was so good!!

Our kids truly get spoiled when we go there. Here's Grandma Nelson & Mila.

We also got to visit with Santa for the first time this year. Here we are waiting in line.



Carter asked for a basketball (even though we have two) and Leah asked for a Barbie. Good thing Carter didn't ask for what he said he was...an extension ladder. He said he needed one so he can fix stuff. Go figure...
My kids are so easy when it comes to Christmas. Hopefully it will last when they get older...

The kids helped Aunt Cindy decorate her Christmas tree while we were there and that's all Leah talked about was going home to put up OUR Christmas tree. I'm not very good at letting them help with ours, so they loved to be able to help!!
Grandma decorated her yard while we were there too.


Here's Mila during our pit stop in Globe. She hates her car seat, and the minute she gets out she's as happy as can be.


We finally got our tree put up. We have a train that goes around it and Mila loves it. She gets so excited every time it comes around and cries for the remote if she sees someone else holding it. I'm so glad she's not mobile this year because she already tries to grab the tree or anything else she can get her hands on when she's near it.




Yesterday was Jason's first day of vacation and we were able to get all of our Christmas shopping done. I stayed up late and wrapped them all and when the kids came downstairs Leah begged and begged to open them. She is just like me when it comes to surprises and hates not knowing what's in them.
