Thanksgiving and more

 We were all off this week and the girls just could NOT wait to decorate for Christmas...even though it was before Thanksgiving. We went ahead and put everything up and we have been enjoying it all week. The girls were thrilled!

 My twinkies

 They love it when I pull out this nativity each year.

 Funny story: These are ornaments from Kinder last year. Each one has their picture on it. The girls could not tell who was who!! It cracked me up! I had to tell them which picture was theirs! Silly girls!

 Tinsel is fun!

 Jillian thought this was the best way to reach the top of tree....I had visions of her leaning in to hang the ornament and falling into the tree...so this didn't last long!

Kaitlyn, Kennedy

 Everyone, smile!! (Jillian had other thoughts!)

 My three Christmas cuties

 Hi Lucy!

 Silly, puppy....trying to squeeze herself into Scooter's little bed. 

Unfortunately, these are the last pictures of Lucy that I will have. Tues evening, Tony went out the front door to put the trash can away.  He didn't close the front door all the way and Lucy nudged the door open and took off down the street.  She never came back and we haven't found her since.  :( 
This broke our hearts...she was just curious and young. I'm thinking someone picked her up. She had her collar on, but not our phone number on it. Jillian has had a REALLY hard time with it. Lots of tears...she loved her...we all did.  So sad. :(

 We celebrated Thanksgiving on Wednesday this year at my parents house.

 My little turkeys. 

(Thankful that they got to wear their cute turkey outfits one more year!)

 Cooper and the twins worked hard making their own "Charlie Brown Christmas tree"

We had a wonderful lunch and enjoyed our time with family.

 

 Since we celebrated Thanksgiving a day early, we had a family day on Thursday. We took the kids to see a movie. (Jillian wanted to pose in front of the theater)

 "Frozen" was such a cute movie!! We all loved it.

The next day was my birthday...we had a yummy breakfast and Tony took me to see a movie during the day too. We ended the day by eating a Chuys with the girls. Fun day!

The kids played outside in front of the restaurant while we waited to be seated. Silly, silly girls!
We have loved having this week off to relax and spend time together. So thankful.
