Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.  So nice to be able to spend some extra time with family and I loved having an extra-long weekend.  My sister hosted thanksgiving at her house this year and then Ryan’s parents picked up the older boys Friday morning and headed up to Minneapolis to celebrate the Springer family Christmas.  Sounds like they were good and both Gavin and Wyatt had a blast playing with their MN cousins.  It was so nice to have a little downtime at home so Ryan and I could get some much needed cleaning done and get out all our Christmas decorations.  We even got to sneak away and see a movie which was amazing.  The boys came home Saturday afternoon and we headed out on Sunday to get our Christmas tree.  It was a pretty quick trip since Lincoln was getting fussy but the weather was great and Gavin did the honors of selecting the family Christmas tree.  Both boys were great helpers with decorating the tree and I think it turned out beautiful.  Ryan and I weren’t quite ready for the holiday weekend to be over but at least Christmas will be here before you know it.  We also had a great time last week at the Capital tree lighting.  The boys loved getting to see the capital again and of course all the Christmas cookies.  Afterwards we got to head over to Terrace Hill.  It was my first time being there so it was cool to get to tour the place and thankfully the boys were pretty well behaved.
