Thanksgiving Fun

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!

Although we missed all of our family, we had an enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday. Scott actually took Friday off of work, so that was really nice! We had the Hagmans over on Thursday for turkey (Scott's good friend from high school). Unfortunately, in all the fun, I completely forgot to take any pictures. :-(

But here are some pictures from Friday -- we relaxed a little and then went and cut down our Christmas tree. Although freezing cold, it was a beautiful sunny day! The kids all had fun, although Nathan was a little (or rather, a lot, disappointed we couldn't decorate the tree the same day -- he says that's the only fun part.

I actually knitted those scarves & hats when I was pregnant with Talia!

Grumpy faces and playing with the dogs (Talia LOVED the dogs!)
Everyone took turns helping to cut down the tree.

Here's a picture of our Thanksgiving decorations. I just had to buy the girl scarecrow with the pigtails, and then of course, we needed one to represent our boy. It was just decorations, but I really enjoyed coming home and being greeted by our scarecrows! As you can see, by the time I took a picture, we were already putting up our Christmas decorations -- that was one of Saturday's activities.

Here's the other one .... We finally took the plunge & got a new van. This one seats eight & turns off the passenger-seat airbag if you have a child sitting there, so now I can take 1-2 friends with us -- great for carpooling which I haven't been able to do since having Talia.

We hope all of you had a good Thanksgiving!! Sorry you had to go back to work on Friday, Tiff. We sure miss all you guys!
