The Start of the Holiday Season!


We are off to a great start this holiday season!  Most gifts are bought and wrapped, Jaden did great at his eye doctor appointment with a good report/outlook, fun times with family and the house is decorated!  We even got to play in snow and it was Jaden's first time!


Thanksgiving Time!
This is the best time of year in our household!  We love spending time with family and getting into the holiday spirit!






 
Decorating Time!
Our tradition is for mommy to seek out the good deals on black friday while daddy puts up the tree and gets out the xmas decorations.  At night, we decorate!  This year mommy and daddy were very hesitant about Jaden pulling the tree over or breaking ornaments.  He is such a rascal always looking for trouble!  So far, he has heard lots of "look and no touch" but overall, not as bad as we all thought!
 


 
It wouldn't be Thanksgiving weekend if daddy didn't give mommy her birthday gift early!  He can never wait until her actual birthday!  This present was extra special since Jaden and I colored some paper which daddy then wrapped the box with!
 
 
Breaking in grandma and grandpa Christie
 

Each year, grandma christie waits until the last minute to decorate the house before company comes on xmas eve.  This year, we decided to nudge her a little sooner!  Grandpa agreed with us so she lost out in votes and we put up the tree this weekend-earliest it has ever been done! New beginnings!!
 

 
We originally planned on going to the mall to check out Santa (not like I would even go near him) but mommy thinks it would be fun to atleast be close to him! lol.  Since it was nasty, we decided to stay home and play in the snow!  It was Jaden's first real time in the snow (he was too little last year)!  He absolutely hated getting dressed but loved the sled once he was going!  I just love being outside no matter what weather so I was in my glory running around!  What a fun weekend...
