We had a wonderful Thanksgiving on Thursday with lots of
amazing food and time spent with family and even a little shopping on my part J. A few things our family is thankful for this
year and one sweet little turkey.
It was a beautiful day on Friday so bundled up and headed over to the Christmas Tree farm to pick out our Christmas Tree. It was pretty picked over but we were able to
find a beautiful tree and the boys loved walking through all the trees and
playing in the snow.
The only bad part was that the place was super busy and after waiting
over an hour to get our tree cut down we finally had to head home so the boys
could eat lunch. Ryan headed back on his
own to pick up our tree and it was just being brought in at 2. I couldn’t believe it! I think we’ll probably try to find a less
popular place next year and maybe somewhere where we can just cut down our own
tree because when you have little ones you don’t really have 3 hours to wait
for a tree. The boys also got to see Santa. Gavin loved it, Wyatt just wanted to observe from afar and Lincoln was not a fan :).
The boys were really into decorating the tree this
year. Even Lincoln got into it this year
and I think it turned out beautiful. That night we headed over to Keith and Jan’s
for dinner to celebrate Keith’s birthday and then on Saturday my parents
watched the kids so Ryan and I could head up to Ames for the last home football
game. Although we lost it was a much
better game than we were expecting and we got to head over to Great Plains for
some yummy pizza that I have been craving forever after the game and got to
catch up for a few minutes with a great friends. Sunday was a lazy day at home. Ryan told the older two boys to the Y for
some basketball and swimming and wore them out while Lincoln and I did some
cleaning and ran some errands. Overall
it was a great holiday weekend and none of us were ready for it to be
over. Luckily Christmas is just around
the corner!
