Festival of Trees

Thanksgiving Day and the Day After

Thanksgiving morning the kids happily showed off their brown outfits, and their Christmas stockings.  It seems almost sacrilegious to combine the two holidays :-) . . . but we'd just gotten the stockings out of the attic and they were SO excited to get them out and play with them.

 The day after Thanksgiving we started to put ornaments on the tree.  Isaac in a Santa hat has to be the cutest thing in the entire world.

 How is it this baby is a year old almost, and still looks SO freaking tiny in his exersaucer.

 Here was our Christmas tree.  Until it spontaneously tipped over the next day and we went to Lowe's at 6:30 at night to buy a new one.  Which we've only put half the ornaments on.

 And one of my FAVORITE parts of the holidays -- getting out all the Christmas books!
