We are finally all decorated for Christmas!

It seems that each year, I have the best of intentions to pack up Thanksgiving and Fall before we go Christmas Tree hunting. However, like every year before, I again didn't finish when I wanted to. We have had our tree up for over a week now with only the lights, ribbons and icicle garlands. Today we enjoyed the snow (what little Vancouver got), finished decorating the house and tonight we finally added the ornaments to the tree.



Sofia took her sweet time eating dinner so she only got to hang her own ornaments (below) but you can see by her picture, (above) that she was more interested in posing then hanging ornaments anyway! Don't you just love her choice of "snow day clothes"??

Tristan really enjoyed helping to decorate the tree this year! He was quick to add the gold hangers to each ornament and then before Grandpa or I could suggest a good place to put it, up it went. You can see that most of the ornaments are on the bottom third of the tree!!

A busy and Thankful weekend!

Isn't Sofia becoming such a big girl?

Our sweet Lillie is now 18 months old and really is enjoying all the festivities of Christmas!

Our Thanksgiving table was filled with lots of family and delicious food too!

These are our 4 grandbabies all dressed up in their new Christmas Jammies! Tristan is 5, Sofia almost 3, Lillie 18 months and Reid 7 weeks!

Tristan, now 5 just loved being by the campfire at the tree farm!

This is our precious Reid and his first trip to the tree farm!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL, AND BY NOW, A BLESSED ADVENT GREETING TOO!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day celebrating with our children, their children, Cyndy's Mom and Dad and older brother Terry and his wife Patti! We enjoyed great food, wonderful conversations, play time with the grandkids as well as cards, a fire, hot apple cider and delicious pumpkin pie!! Can you ask for anything more?

On Sunday we made our traditional trek to Farrell's Tree Farm, picked out the perfect trees, enjoyed a campfire, hot cocoa or cider and had the most wonderfully warm day with an awesome sunset as we drove home to have a taco bar for dinner, some more card playing, gift opening of Christmas pj's and ornaments for the Grandkids and a sleep-over with Cody, Anna and little Reid. This was Reid's first Thanksgiving and tree gathering and he was such a good little boy!
