We had a great Thanksgiving, in three parts. On Monday we celebrated with my family and had everyone over to our house to eat in our newly finished dining room. My grandma was able to come over and enjoy a break from the nursing home. It was so wonderful to have her here with us. Then on Thursday I worked and Hayden and Paul went to the Kent's to enjoy some turkey. Friday was our family Thanksgiving. We made a special breakfast and stayed in our jammies until mid-morning. We carried on our traditional California Thanksgiving and made our own feast with only the dishes we like and ate together. Even Hayden had turkey and greenbean casserole and mashed potatoes.
Even Hayden helped put the ornaments on! (Don't worry it just LOOKS like Paul isn't holding onto him!)
All in all we had a fantastic holiday weekend. It is just so much more meaningful and fun when you have people you love to share it with! We are so blessed.
When we were reflecting on our Thanksgiving last year it was hard to believe that I was pregnant with Hayden, it seems like we have always had him here with us. 
We got the tree up and the house all decorated for Christmas. We normally put up our 4 1/2 foot tree and all the ornaments that we can fit on it, but this year we upgraded to a 12 foot tree that we found on Craigslist. It looks great!

I can't wait to see the decor in person, it sure looks great in the pictures! Man, the 4 1/2 footer would have looked AWESOME in your huge living room. Good times!
I love your holdiay photos already and think we haven't even made it to the presents yet!!! I love the picture of Hayden on the ladder - that one is going in the scrapbook!! Josiah has those Turkey PJ's too, and actually wore the shirt for Thanksgiving!! Your tree is beautiful!! Good work finding it on craigslist!!! Can't wait to see it in person. =)
The pictures of Hayden brushing his teeth and him on the ladder are priceless! Wish we could see him (and you, of course!) in person. Merry Christmas!
