Let the Holidays Begin

Gal pals

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend! Busy but fun. On Thanksgiving we went to Tom's family during the day and then to mine in the evening. Way too much to eat and drink! The kids enjoyed playing with their cousinsn and eating the pumpkin pie. I did join the "crazies" on Friday for a little bit of shopping, but I didn't head out anywhere until the afternoon. NOTHING is worth me getting up and shopping at 5am.

Our town has a tradition on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Santa arrives to greet the kids and to light our courthouse downtown. During the past 5 or so years it has become a tradition in our family as well. It was such a perfect night, not too cold, but still feeling like November. I love that our kids are growing up in the same community that Tom and I grew up in. I want them to have "roots" and for them to know where they come from. We loved living in Idaho, it was beautiful! But when the time came for us to start our family, we couldn't imagine them not knowing their family. It is important to us, our family and the extention of family.
