Thanksmas

Every other year we celebrate Thanksmas with my side (Thomas side) of the family.  We start with Thanksgiving and end with Christmas!  It makes for a very fun, very eventful weekend!!  We hosted Thanksgiving at our house for the very first time.  It was still all of Grancy's recipes, and she helped every step of the way, but it was still fun and I thought pretty successful!  All in all, it was a great time of spending time together as a family and allowing the kids to play to late in the day all weekend!  We are truly blessed with such amazing families and people that love us unconditionally.  And now we get to experience all of this with our little guy.  Let's just say that he LOVED Thanksgiving and getting to try all of the food.  His favorites were stuffing and mac-n-cheese!!!

No lie - no one planned all of this red,
but it turned out so cute!

 Too too cute

The next day Mia and Jen took us to a girls only lunch and the Nutcracker! Mia did not take her eyes off of that stage for a second and loved every single minute!  It was so cute! I love experiencing this world and all that it holds through the eyes of children.  Really makes you learn to have a new perspective!
