thanksgiving 2014

Thanksgiving is always my favorite holiday.  It's the true beginning of the Christmas season.  We actually had a snow day the Monday before Thanksgiving week, which is really crazy, but I put up my tree super early this year because of the extra time.  I am so thankful I did because we got to have the beauty of it light our living room for an extra week!  Love our Thanksgiving traditions!

Yay!  All finished!  Love my Cinderella tree :)  It looks beautiful with my new house décor.  This is our first year in our new house for Christmas.  We moved in last January.

Ellie loved her time with her cousins at Pammie and Jim's house!

Ellie and Paige

Caitie came out with us for a little bit during our Black Friday extravaganza.  It lasted from 10 PM to 10 AM!

Look at Nana's bags!

 

That is a successful night!!!

We had to cram Amie in the back of the Jeep.

Brohdi was exhausted, of course.

swim lessons

Ellie Ann started swim lessons in October.  She was doing so well during the first two lessons and then something spooked her out.  We are now in Mom and Tot classes each week, but she is loving the water more and more.
