Decorating the Christmas Tree -2009

I just LOVE Holidays, but what I LOVE even more is getting to spend it with my family. Now, being a mommy of two, makes me appreciate the little things. I had two sweet lil elves help me decorate the tree this year. We had such a great time sharing this together....

So much to be thankful for!

We enjoyed a relaxing Thanksgiving Day with our family....It was a warm day so it made for our tradition of eating turkey dinner out on my parents patio that much more enjoyable. This year my Grandma (who , mind you, is 91 yrs old!) made 2 pilgrim outfits and 2 indian outfits and wrote a mini-script for the kids to perform a little skit for the family on this Thankful Day!
It was quite a treat to see Tommy and Kayden (who memorized their lines) along with JRob ,(Sofi wasnt having it the first time around--but eventually performed after it was all said and done) have a decent understanding as to the meaning of Thanksgiving.
the script went a little something like this....
Pilgrim Girl: Thanks for helping plant our crops, we have lots of pumpkins this year.
Indian Boy: And we have lots of corn this year.
Pilgrim Girl: Can you share dinner with us? We can give thanks to God for our good crops.
Indian Boy: Yes, we will call it our Thanksgiving dinner!
All Pilgrims and Indians: Happy Thanksgiving!
