Thanksgiving Weekend














Luke and I celebrated 8 years together! We spent our anniversary taking care of a sick kid (finley has strep) and Lukes care wouldn't start...:) But we were able to go out a few nights ago with just kade to dinner and shopping.  I went to RS super saturday and made no sew felt bowties and hair bows for the kids! I am not crafty, but I am happy with the results and so is baby Kade :) We had our first Thanksgiving away from family this year.  I slaved away in the kitchen and made Roasted Turkey breast, stuffing, sweet potato souffle, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, black berry pie and homemade pumpkin pie!  It was a feast and it was GOOD...not to brag...Luke has been building a bunch of stuff while he had a few days off and the kids love to "help"....We then spent the weekend decorating for our first Christmas away from family (and last!).  The kids are so excited and so am I. This will be our first year that we have our very own Christmas! Every year Luke and I have spent the night at his parents (or lived there)!

No rolls on thanksgiving! Blasphemy! Glad you guys had a good time. Last year was our first Christmas with zero family around and it was actually really nice to stay put and enjoy the day together. We also watched Home Alone- jax is 8 just like in the movie- no way would he come up with those things!
