We have had quite a busy weekend around here. We hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year so we had a lot of getting ready to do. Grammy and the Morrow's came over to celebrate with us. I am sad I didn't get many pictures since I was busy running around getting things ready. Jacob helped with the turkey this year. He was amused by it so he got to help me rub the butter all over it. We watched the parade in the morning off and on, Jacob was really into some parts of it, but the commercials usually ruined his focus. A few days before Jacob and I worked on making turkey place card holders. They turned out so cute! Owen devoured his first Thanksgiving meal. He was particularly fond of the turkey and sweet potatoes. After dinner we watched the Cowboys game and said goodbye to the Morrow's. We just hung out the rest of the evening recovering from a busy day! Grammy spent the night that night and Friday morning we started our decorating. Josh and I did some black Friday shopping for a few hours then we finished decorating the house. Jacob loved helping this year. He hung a bunch of ornaments on the trees and has loved turning on all the lights since then. We had been promising Jacob we could have a movie night one night where he could stay up and watch a movie and have some popcorn. We decided to do it on Friday so we could watch a Christmas movie. Grammy ended up spending the night again that night so she joined in on movie night. Saturday afternoon we headed to Grammy's house to put up her decorations. Everyone was exhausted by Saturday night and we all slept well that night. Sunday we head back out in the morning to the mall. Grammy and I needed to do some shopping and Josh took Jake to do all of the fun stuff at the mall. They went to the train exhibit, went to story time with Santa, saw a puppet show, and stopped by the pet adoption area. Then Jacob got to stuff a Rudolph. We tried to do this last year but they were all out of them when we went. So he has a Rudolph with a light up nose. Whew. This was not a relaxing break at all for Josh! Christmas break should be much more relaxing for everyone!
