Thanksgiving Events

We had a great few days celebrating Thanksgiving.

We had a quiet morning at home watching the Parade -- as much as our home is ever quiet... so I guess I should say a relaxed morning at home because our home is never quiet.

I did a bunch of braids in Tracey hair the night before so she could have a special hair do for the Holiday -- all krinkly

Addallee turned 1 month on Thanksgiving

We tried to take a family picture... and this is as good as it got -- but I love how real this picture.  I will keep making my family sit for family pictures any chance I can because this is our real life, and these are very special days in the spectrum of our life.

Loving our Thanksgiving dinner

Hugging her little sister

At least no children are crying in this picture with my parents... I guess that's the difference of taking a picture before dinner versus after dinner... they're all in a turkey coma now

We went to the Hotel Colorado Christmas lighting on Friday and the kids got to see Santa Claus for the first time this season.  Hubby and I had no intention of being in the picture with Santa and our kids... but our kids weren't really keen on staying near Santa without our being there -- especially Caroline and Howard.  So, the win is that no children are actively crying in this picture.

Having fun with the Christmas display

Addallee was a trooper for the entire thing being worn in the Moby.

Tracey did a big girl Lego project while the twins were napping the other day.  She and I followed the directions together and she put together this Mickey Mouse boat house.  It was a lot of fun for us to do together.

Caroline got out a Fairy wand last night and started tapping every ornament she could reach... I'm not sure if she was trying to a Christmas Fairy or what exactly she was playing.
