Thanksgiving!

We had a really nice Thanksgiving this year! After being sick for the first half of the week, it was so nice to have a relaxed day!  The boys had hats that they made (Brayden made on at his library class so Tucker wanted one too), which I of course left at home when we went to my parents to eat Thanksgiving dinner...oops!

The holidays are never quite the same without my sister at home, but there was still plenty of chaos with the kids:) This is what the table looked like before all the food made it out...and as usual, WAYYYYYY too much! Good for leftovers!

I'm glad I didn't buy them special outfits for this year because within 1 minute of getting to my parents' house, they both insisted on taking off they button-down shirts!

As usual, Brayden refused to sit at the table for more than 5 minutes and maxed out at about 3 bites! The boys both loved dessert and for some reason my grandfather thought Tucker would enjoy some whipped cream, without the actual dessert....he was right!  

Friday was a busy morning followed by a fun afternoon visiting with friends:) 

And who knew that Santa would be at Home Depot?! The boys have never had their picture with him before, and I don't know if Brayden has ever met Santa...maybe when he was just a couple months old.  Tucker was not wanting to sit with him Santa so Santa came to the boys.

We are so thankful for our family and so many gifts that we've been given this year!  We shared what we were thankful for at dinner, and it's pretty aparent Tucker's been reading too much Pete the Cat, Thanksgiving.  He answered, "the original pilgrims," just like Pete does at the end. We talk about what we're thankful for every day and pilgrims have never come up:) 

And now comes my favorite time of the year....the Christmas season!!! We are off to cut down our tree TOMORROW!!!
