We had planned on heading out of town Sat morning, but when we woke up to snow, we decided it was a perfect day for putting up/decorating our tree, going sledding, and making Christmas goodies!!!! The highlight of decorating the tree every year is hanging up our George and Martha Washington ornaments. GooF and I exchange ornaments every year, and George and Martha were purchased at Mt. Vernon when we lived out east!! Trey was as unsure of the Christmas tree as he is of the vacuum, but warmed up to it when we turned on the Christmas tree lights!
Another highlight of the Christmas season is filling shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. Porter was ready to hand deliver his! Both kids looked at the globe, wondering where their box might go, and they both also included a letter this year (saying Jesus loves you and me)!
And, some snapshots of my little boy in blue, Porter and I playing with pans on our heads, and setting up the Nativity (another highlight!)
The kids made thankful turkeys thanks to moppets (or mopset as they call it). . .Porter is thankful for mom, dad, trucks, and chocolate chips. Ainsley is thankful for mommy, daddy, cousins and friends to play with, a nice warm home, and a warm bed with lots of stuffed animals!
Happy Thanksgiving!
