Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving. We are so thankful to have family away from family. We all wish we could be together but with the distance we all live, sometimes it isn't possible. But, that is why there is Christmas :)

Anyway, we had several friends and their families come celebrate Thanksgiving. Everyone lives away from their families so we all came together to create our family away from family. We had 10 adults, 7 toddlers and 2 infants. It was crazy fun! Each family brought food and we all came together and had a wonderful evening.

Today, Graham and I decorated the Christmas tree. He loved it!! It is so fun to see a kids decoration again, all ornaments at the bottom. I can rememeber my nieces when they were young doing that. Good moments!!

Now, on to Christmas! We hope to see you all, we will be home for Christmas, December 23 - 29 (I think). Half on the coast and half in Jackson. Love to you all!! XOXO
Our feast!

A Thanksgiving miracle! All kids sat together and ate. We were all so stunned, we stood there for a while before we realized we all needed to eat while they were doing so well! HA

Our Little Indian Turkeys! I made hate for all the kids and these were Ethan and Nora's. We couldn't decide if the hats were Indian or Turkey feathers.

So, we didn't get a picture of all the adults eating together because it never happened. As soon as we all got our food and sat down, the kids were done. So, rotation it was. One parent ate while the other tended to the kids. HA!

Ethan just chilled watching all the craziness!

Finally dessert! Cheers!!

A wonderful night with wonderful people!

And what do you do the day after? You decorate the Christmas tree!

He loved it so much! He has already gone to the chimney and yelled for "Ho Ho Ho" AKA Santa, to come down!

Fun camping and a cute brother picture

Pajama party!

 We took the boys to the property this week to camp out for the first time there. It was kind of a test to see if it would work and it went really well! Graham had a blast helping Papa plant trees, fly a kite with mamma, cook over the fire and gaze up at the stars. Ethan was so relaxed he slept most of the time. We will be doing this a lot more for sure! What a blast.
Playing on the tractor, his favorite!

Our kinda Halloween!

It was awful weather Halloween night! But, our neighbors had all the kids over for appetizers and trick or treating at the doors in their home. We had the youngest kids there and Graham got a little overwhelmed with all the older kids getting candy so our pictures are not great. We came home after and Graham had more fun giving candy to the trick or treaters than trick or treating! So, I say it was a success!

The San Marcos children!

Trick or treating indoors!

Getting a little help from a friend!

Graham's masterpiece!
