Christmas Decorating

Josh and I spent many hours putting up our Christmas lights this year. I was so excited to decorate our first house for our first Christmas! I think they turned out rather nice :) I already warned Josh that next year we will be adding even more on, ha


We got our tree earlier than ever this year, just after Thanksgiving. I wanted to start a tradition of reading our nighttime book by the Christmas tree each night in December. I wrapped 25 books and put them under the tree. Most of them were ones we already had, but the kids loved opening a book each night to read. I am excited to keep this tradition for years to come. 





Not a very clear picture, but here we are reading our bedtime book by the tree :)

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was at my parents this year. Penny's family came, and Kathy was in town so she was there too. 

Don't have any pictures from the actual dinner, but here we are with the pre-dinner activities.
