Long Weekend

We had a much needed long weekend and quality family time over the holiday. Thanksgiving proved to be terrifying cooking for 16 people, but overall the meal was a great success (just don't ask my husband about how much salt was in his gravy).

G and T drew pictures of our Thanksgiving dinner at school today. I don't think they actually did eat anything except rolls and pie.

It's funny to see the difference in perception of how many people were there. Gracie also noted her favorite grandma Heather who actually doesn't exist. She has an aunt Heather who wasn't there, but how much can you ask from a 4 year old.

The day after we stayed in pj's all day-HEAVEN. We watched movies and got out Christmas decorations. Very low key, just the way I like it. Saturday we went for it and cut down a tree at a local farm. We haven't done this before, so it was a step towards Daddy's Griswold Family Christmas dreams. The kids had a great time running through the trees finding the 'perfect one'. Gracie and Tater loved all of them. Benny of course didn't like any and wanted to leave. He also wants pie for breakfast, so we can't win with him.

Then it was time to decorate and the season has been in full swing ever since! We are watching movies and drinking hot cocoa with reckless abandon. I love it.
