Thanksgiving Family Fun

As we always do every year, we went to Rupert for Thanksgiving and ate our two big Thanksgiving meals in the same day. At least we had about 6 hours in between meals to recover. Needless to say we were all stuffed but enjoyed our time with both of our families.

Haylee got to make little foam Christmas trees and a gingerbread house with Dereck's family. She had a blast doing this fun little Christmas project and I have to say that I think I almost had just as much fun helping. Here are just some random pictures we took after our Thanksgiving dinner......

Cody, Haylee, and Brooke all relaxing on the couch. Brooke has that stunned deer in the headlights look on her face....

Daddy with a cheesy smile and Brooke.....

Ehhh?!?......

Eric was trying to get Brooke to laugh......

Since Dereck got a couple days off for Thanksgiving, we decided to hit the Rupert Square on Friday night for the annual Christmas lighting and fireworks. Haylee was so excited to be able to see Santa on a fire truck, the Christmas lights, and the fireworks. It was freezing but it was worth it to see Haylee have such a good time. The lighting on the square was beautiful this year and it got the whole family in the holiday spirit. Now I just need to get the Christmas tree up......

Our blog!

We finally decided to join in the fun and try out this whole blogging thing. So this is our very first post on our new blog. Time goes by so quickly and and things are continually changing so I figured this would be a great way to keep in touch with everyone and share what is going on in our lives. I get excited for what each new day will bring in our lives and the lives of our children and now I have a way to share this with our family and friends.
