Thanksgiving and the beginning of Christmas


Our sweet Noelle finally started walking the first week of December and she has been just precious.  She is the cutest little 18 month old there is.  She changes everyday and is talking up a storm.

 Our Thanksgiving feast!  Yummy yum.  We had ham!!!

 Pretty table

 All the precious ladies who worked hard on this delicious meal.  Love each of them.

The kids table.  They gobbled up their ham.

The kids watched Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving.

Noelle tried to fit in with the big kids but she didn't last long.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

A little exercise after our thanksgiving gathering.
 
I love Micah's face in this one.

The day after thanksgiving we decorated the house for Christmas.  Jason could hardly wait another day.    I think he would have decorated October if I would have let him.  
One of the best part of decorating was remembering each memory that coincided with each ornament.  That was by far one of the kids favorite parts.

The kids hanging their stockings with care.



The kids love helping daddy with tree.  


The Nativity set is a big hit every year.  


We had a special picnic in the living room and watched a Christmas movie.


Noelle's favorite part...

Decorating time...









 
We made and decorated sugar cookies for our Christmas party and it was a blast.  Noelle played in the flour and was covered in such a short amount of time.  Everyone needed a bath right afterwards.




Sprinkles!!!

We made tons of cookies but this is just a sample of the final product. We made such sweet memories decorating cookies.

One of Micah's favorite cookies!


The boys playing cards.  

Each of the kids had a buddy to play with.


It's hard to keep Noelle away from the tree.  She loves the beautiful lights and ornaments.


I just love these two!!

I got took a picture of Noelle in Micah's hand-me-down santa dress.  So cute!!
