Christmas Tree

As we always do over Thanksgiving weekend, we went to Wannamakers to pick out our Christmas tree. We got a great one this year! :)

Dad and Matt got it all set up for us in the family room.

The girls decorated the tree after Matt got all the lights on.

Avery needed a little help to get the snowman on the top of the tree. Notice that Milo was relegated to his crate for the xmas tree decorating. He has a tendency to mess with the ornaments! But once they are on the tree, he leaves them alone.

I think the tree looks beautiful - great effort by everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year! So much great food and hanging out with the family!

My parents came into town on Wednesday. The girls helped Mama make some pies!

On Thanksgiving morning, we played a lot of games of Clue... Avery is obsessed!

We kicked off the day with out traditional Bloody Mary's!

Here's the "BEFORE" picture!

And here's the "AFTER"!

Morgan helped Mama in the kitchen make stuffing and other yummy sides!

Papa is ready for the day!

He is the official turkey carver every year!

Sitting down to eat all the delicious food!

Just for a laugh, this is my plate:

And here is Avery's... she ended up having about 6 dinner rolls! :)

Poor Milo... does not get any Thanksgiving food.

These two are ready to watch the Bears play!

 

A few more Matilda Jr pictures

The Academy took some pictures of the cast and sent them out. So, I thought I'd post a few of Avery from them.
