Our Thanksgiving was, yet, another blessing! We spent 5 days at my mom's and it was a nice little time away from home. The boys really enjoyed themselves; but now we are back to our little routine!
I wanted to share pictures of Thanksgiving before we get too far into the Christmas holiday! I meant to post these pictures Monday - but I have been busy with laundry and cleaning and Christmas decorating! Enjoy the pictures!

And now, on to the Christmas holiday!
Yesterday we spent most of the day decorating the house. We still have a few finishing touches to add, but overall we got the banister decorated, the tree up, and all the little Christmas figurines set up around the house. The house feels festive and cozy; I'm looking forward to snuggling around the tree and watching Christmas movies with my
3 favorite guys!
As far as Christmas shopping . . . This year I'm trying to tone it down. Take in the season in the most simplest of ways. Both the boys' gift shopping is almost done and as far as the grandparents, well, I have a semi-homemade gift in the making! Should be a hit!
More Christmas to come with photos and a new tradition we are starting here in our home!
