Thanksgiving

Well we had a great Thanksgiving with family this year. We spent the day with Matt's family this year. We managed to sneak in 2 dinners, way too much food, and were able to visit with his aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings. It was a fun day to be together. Yesterday we decided to do a little shopping. I was not one of the early birds that were in the stores at 4 a.m. but I did manage to get a few gifts on my list bought. I only have about 3 more thing to get then I will be finished. It will be nice to be all done so early this year. I will even have everything wrapped and ready to go. It makes life easier for me if I don't have to stress about gifts for a long time. We got our tree up a few days ago and "It's begining to look a lot like Christmas" we are enjoying having the holiday decor out to look at and Parker loves to turn on the lights on the tree. I think Paige has some motivation to begin crawling. She sees all the ornaments and decorations and somehow manages to scoot her little body closer and closer until she reaches them. One of these days she will discover how to crawl and realize it is faster to get where she wants to go if she crawls. It is going to be such a fun Christmas with these two little kids in our home, I can't wait to see Parker's reaction on Christmas morning. Tonight I am going to dinner with a few friends from high school and I am looking forward to some alone time and adult conversation. It will be so much fun. I'll post pictures later!!!
