Happy Holidays!

During November Jared's office was open extra hours due to a new release. He worked a number of late nights and Saturdays including the Fri and Sat after Thanksgiving. Even so, we had a nice Thanksgiving at his parents. The boys helped me bake pie and it was Kylie's first Thanksgiving! We attempted to get a family photo and you will see our different attempts. None are great but at this stage I'll take what I can get! :)

On Saturday Jared worked at 6am but was able to leave at 11am and we went to cut down our Christmas tree. We went to the same place we get our pumpkins from and based on how they do the pumpkin patch I was expecting something alot more exciting - but we still had a good time! I think there was even a little snow in the air! There wasn't much rain while we were there so that was nice. The had a large nativity with a live camel and donkey and manaquins for people. Jaden was terrified of the manequins. He wouldn't even go in and was in tears. Before we left he went in all on his own but kept a close eye on the fake people :) We got everything decorated this past weekend (except the outside) and the boys have been much better about not touching the tree than I thought. We've only lost 2 ornaments :) Our tree isn't decorated very evenly this year - but the boys loved being a part of doing it! Kylie loved watching everyone do the decorating. Enjoy the pictures! Oh, and while Kylie is definately getting bigger and bigger she's not as big as she appears in some of these pictures....she's wearing a really big coat! She looks so old in some of the pictures!
