Thanksgiving kicks off such excitement for all that is to come. Everyone feels so good, happy and thankful. The giving season is upon us and people just seem more fulfilled. Maybe that's how I feel.
We hosted Thanksgiving with the Greenwald's this year. It was my first attempt at a turkey..I think it turned out pretty good!
We spent the following Saturday celebrating with my side of the family-no pictures though. I'm so lame.
We decided to cut our tree down the day after Thanksgiving. Dane wasn't so sure. He really wanted to just have the tree stay in the ground. "We can't cut down a tree Mom. That's not good." I suppose I should have agreed, I mean really, it's not a great thing to do and I'm not quick on the fly with an answer to that. But, I had to have another tree (we already put up our fake tree upstairs). I have all these great ornaments that needed to be shown, so Dane was out of luck. He didn't seem to mind too much once we got there and he got to "help" Dad.
Putting on the finishing touches.
Ta-da! It's pretty and smells good!
(And you can see on the bottom left where Cashie added his personal touch)
Here's our other tree! I love having room to do two big trees. Maybe next year I'll shoot for three!
Here are the boys at Space Aliens. Again. It's starting to become a regular spot every few weeks. Tuesday's kids eat free and get free tokens. What's not great about that?!
Yesterday Ross took Dane to see his first play at Elk River High School. "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" They had a great time and Dane has talked non-stop about it since he got home.
Dane informed me that we have 19 sleeps left until Santa comes. Holy Hannah...I can't wait!
