Hmmmm....perhaps I should turn the heat up

Ben was cold so he wanted to wear his hat to bed....I am beginning to wonder if maybe I am a little too thrifty on my thermostat settings.

Christmas Decorating

With Thanksgiving over, now we can start to look towards Christmas (my favorite!). So, I was pretty excited to start decorating and listening to Christmas music. We were able to get our tree decorated thanks to the help of Ben and Abbey!




Abbey was great at holding onto the ornaments, but not so good at getting them on the tree - she wouldn't let go!

Ben was great at decorating...

except that he wanted to put all his ornaments on the same branch...

Ben did help Daddy put the angel on top- beautiful!

Looks like we are prepared for Santa to come!

Thanksgiving over...

After Thanksgiving we spent some time at Aunt Domi's house where Ben and Caroline had their own tea party...
Ben and Aunt Teesa fell asleep in Caroline's bed - must have been all the turkey...

A picture of the Turkey Friers on Thanksgiving day - yum!

Ben and Caroline playing on their "sailboat"

Thanksgiving - more family time!

Abbey really enjoyed all the family time, so we gave her some more!
We went to Aunt Domi's house and Caroline let Abbey sit in her chair (that she matched)...

More time with Aunt Teesa...

Cousin Andrew made her smile...

Mama Kay and Papa with two of their granddaughters...

Thanksgiving - quality family time!

Thanksgiving is all about spending time with family. So, since this was Abbey's first Thanksgiving, we made sure she spent lots of time with family. Here she is with Cousin Caroline...
