Thanksgiving and our Christmas Tree

We had Thanksgiving with my sister Melissa's family (they drove all the way from Columbus) and of course, Chris and Dusty. Here are some fun highlights!



Some pre-Thanksgiving meal pics


Clark and Colin playing (I think Colin looks a lot like my brother Curtis in this picture!)


Kevin tries to cheer up a sad Colin


He's our "little turkey!"


Colin and Megan play at the table while waiting for the food to cook

The meal

All ready to eat! (Notice Colin is missing: he was too tired to wait and took a nap)


Colin gets his first Thanksgiving meal a little late, but still yummy


Another diaper picture of cute cousins Clark and Colin
(try saying that five times fast)

You may remember this picture of them...

taken only 3 months ago! What are they feeding Clark?!?

Picking out our Christmas tree

We actually picked it out in about 2 minutes and took the second one we looked at.



Decorating the tree

We decided to put our Christmas tree in the basement this year. It will save my sanity from chasing Megan and Colin away from the lights, ornaments, and presents, not to mention the tree itself. We have only suffered one casualty as Megan smashed two glass ball ornaments together and they shattered (don't worry - no one was hurt!). Besides, the fireplace is down there and I think it will be fun to hang the stockings there and have a warm fire on Christmas morning!




Only those present can understand how hard it was to actually take this picture of the four of us! Two-year-olds just do not stay still very well.

It was fun to see all the pictures! Clark is huge. I wouldn't even have known that was him. You guys picked out a great tree. I love the picture of Megan with the tree. She has the most adorable smile.
