O' Christmas Tree

Our finished product.

I'm just giving the tree a close inspection.

Noah was trying to do his part to get the ornaments more distributed in the tree.

All the stockings were hung by the chimney with care - and that makes me happy.

Noah concentrated really hard with each ornament he hung.

This year putting up our Christmas tree was a family affair. The ornaments may not be spaced perfectly or hung very high, but Noah and I were very proud of our work!

Happy Thanksgiving

The whole gang from Thanksgiving.

I just can't believe what Ida's saying!

I'm sitting with the big kids now!

Early prep involved washing leeks. Note to self - don't touch leeks then touch eyes, it really hurts!

This year we decided to try and show our neighbors a good 'ole fashion American Thanksgiving. As with any good 'ole American Thanksgiving, there was lots of prep work to be done and lots of food, most importantly, there was lots of laughter and good memories made.
