Night before Thanksgiving, our city lights a giant Santa that adorns a downtown building. It is a fun night where tons of locals some down and drink hot chocolate and break out the Christmas cheer. Usually we are headed to Kentucky for the holiday, but this year we did not head south so mom and I and the littles went downtown. Good times.
We spent Thanksgiving with my step-dad's family. We had a good time. Dustin was a little over-stimulated but he and Robert went home early. Another blessing to staying close to home.
Saturday after Thanksgiving I brought out the tree and we decorated the house. Thankfully the kids are getting old enough that they can hang ornaments and I don't care what it looks like so I let them. I only moved a couple.

Thats what I do with our tree too! I don't care what it looks like, honestly the tree is for the kids. Before they came along we didnt even have one. We always went to someone elses house for the actual holiday. So every year I have the girls make a bunch of ornaments and put them on the tree with the bunch from the previous years. Also any ornaments that were gifts go up. Not a single store bought thing is on our tree and it looks terrible!!! Really awful!!! It's ours and we love it!
Is that your mom?! She looks so young...I think I am older than she is. Wow. Good genes! Lucky you-and I have slowly gave up my perfect Christmas tree expectations. I am just positive this year it will be eaten up anyways.
