Thanksgiving

We had a great day!!! Of course, dinner started a little later then Cody wanted it too. We are so used to eating Thanksgiving dinner at 1pm but plans changed this year and it was scheduled for 3pm. Thanksgiving is Cody's favorite holiday, so 1pm is perfect for him. He has enough time to eat at mom's and get his stomach back in place to eat at his mom's house.

The kids had a great time. Of course, Chase put a big goose egg on his head. My poor accident prone son. He was playing catch in the yard with dad and wasn't watching where he was going and ran head first into the bird bath. It really looks a lot worse then it is (or that's what Cody told me). Still didn't stop me from freaking out a little when I saw it. Preslie ran around and played with the dog. Rylie waited so patiently for the ham. She just loves Turkey day.

Today the kids and I will be putting up the tree and making the Christmas ornaments. I usually have this tree that looks like no kids live here and I've decided to try something new this year and hopefully for the many years to come. The kids and I are going to make homemade Christmas ornaments to put on it and they'll paint them how they want them to look. Cody has to work today, so I'll sweet talk him into putting up the outside lights tomorrow. We have a ton of outside lights and I want to use them. I can't wait to take pictures of the tree and post them up. Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love the smells, the lights and just the overall feel of it.
