Yesterday, we invited a bunch of friends over for a third celebration of Thanksgiving and a kickoff to the Christmas season!
Everyone came over armed with their own contribution to the Thanksgiving table and lots of energy to help us decorate our tree for Christmas! Uncle Dan and Nicholas went right to work getting the tree and all the decorations out from under the steps and then set to work putting the tree together. Nicholas instructed Uncle Dan in a kind but firm manner on the finer points of light stringing and soon we were ready to eat!
After eating, all the kids- Nicholas, Addie, Tommy and Jamie- were ready to get decorating! They dove right into the box of glass ornaments and all the adults followed close behind! Ornaments were hung and then we were able to enjoy some dessert and hang out time!
The kids had a ball running around with one another and the adults enjoyed catching up and watching all of the little ones finally get to enjoy one another!
We still have some decorating to finish, but everything looks great so far!!
It was the perfect way to wrap up the Season of Thanks and kick off the Season of Giving!
Between Aunt Heather and I, we took quite a few pictures!
They aren't exactly in the best order!
