New Years Eve!

Daddy was working this year on the 31st but we didn't let it get us down. We headed to the dollar store and grabbed some party favors. Our next stop was Trader Joe's and everyone picked out finger foods to enjoy for the evening.
Although the kids were in bed by 10pm and I fell asleep in the recliner I would say that it was a very Happy New Year!

The month of December

The Christmas tree hunt!

Early Christmas celebration with Papa and Nana

Christmas Eve! We spent the afternoon with the Vaughn's and arrived home just in time to get ready for bed befoe Santa arrived. Each of the kids had a box to open that included new pajamas, a Christmas book and hot cocoa.

Christmas morning!

Griffen was visiting his dad this year for Christmas but we excitedly welcomed him home on the 28th!

Thanksgiving 2015

This year it was just the 6 of us for Thanksgiving. The plan was to have a small meal but I don't think that is possible because there were just too many Thanksgiving foods to choose from!

The day included cooking, football, the Macy's parade on TV and enjoying time as a family.

I want to continue the tradition of having the Thanksgiving meal be a special occasion so the table was set with the china and the boys wore collared shirts. We always did this with Nana when I was younger and it made the day just a bit more special.
