Thanksgiving & Christmas Decorating

We had a quiet relaxing Thanksgiving at home, we started a tradition of taking a picture of the kids eating the turkey legs several years ago, so we can't stop now. Only Kennadie & Jax actually eat them. In fact, we have decided that next year we will do a roast because the kids complained about the turkey gravy not tasting right and it was the wrong color, they're used to their pot roast every Sunday. Brad & Kennadie were really the only ones who enjoyed the dinner. My favorite part was Brad's homemade Lionhouse rolls. Kennadie & Brad also made Doni's famous raspberry/pretzel jello salad which was really good.

There was no way, Karter was going to pick it up.

He's been pretty funny lately, if he see's more than one of anything he says

"look mom, they're EVERYWHERE".

The kids were out of school the week of Thanksgiving so inbetween playing MarioKart we decorated the house. I really enjoyed taking a few days to decorate rather than trying to do it all in one day. So far Karter has been pretty good about leaving all the breakable disney ornaments alone. We started collecting these ornaments when Kennadie was a baby, who knew we would have five kids to keep away from them for the next XX years. The boys think they are big enough to run the train, I just get tired of them running it so fast that it runs off the track and I have to connect it back together.

Linc - with his Christmas List or maybe it was Kennadie's gift. He drew her name and wasn't happy about it. He put a few coins in an envelope and put it under the tree. She keeps telling him that he has to buy her a real gift. We'll see!

Reag is the only one that won't tell me what he wants for Christmas. Actually he wants Kirby Superstar for the wii (they only make it for DS, which he got for his b-day).
