Why yes, we had a great Turkey Day this year! This was the first year since I have been born that I was away from family during this holiday. It was hard on me, but yet at the same time, my boys kept my mind off of it! We started new traditions for the weekend too -- which was fun! I love my lil family to pieces... they are amazing!!! I did think of my families even more that day too (Zehr and Peek) -- We are thankful to have our lil family as we do and also very blessed for our two families too!!! We are blessed we can be back for Christmas though which issss just around the corner :]
Our day started out by getting up, spending some time in our big ole bed together snuggling, then I made a monkey bread for breakfast while we watched the Thanksgiving Parade :] The boys were loving the parade so much -- it was rather cute!!! They esp loved Elmo and Buzz Lightyear and Santa at the end too!! I cooked our Turkey Day lunch -- which resulted in the menu made by my hubby: turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, rolls, and beef and noodles! It was rather yummy if I must say so myself, and I did not mess anything up :]:] Then we of course had punkin pie for dessert :]
I will add some pics of our day as well -- we had a wonderful time together, as always!! We decorated our house with more decorations that evening and put up our tree too and decorated them! Eli loved to help put ornaments on them too -- and Zacary well... he loved it so so much, and also loved to take off the ornaments we were putting on hahaha!!!! :] My babies are thee best! Noah also let me put up a tree upstairs this year too with all PINK ornaments on it and a PINK star at the top.. LOVE!!! The boys each have a tree in their room which they love and they also have a snowman window cling and a paper snowflake they made as a craft on their windows and every single morning we look at the windows and Zacary just points away and smiles and tries to say snowman and Eli says goodbye to his everytime we leave to go somewhere (b/c his window is right above the garage) :] It is rather adorable to hear them :]:]
On Friday we went shopping a bit and then we went downtown Newnan to watch Santa arrive on a firetruck and then he lit the huge Christmas tree!!! It was such a neat thing to see and the boys loved it and loved seeing Santa come on a firetruck!!! We did a lot of snuggling, Christms movies and songs, we went and looked at Christmas lights, and just had a very relaxing and fun time!!!! It was nice to not have to travel and haul everything everywhere! We are going to keep a tradition to be at our house every year for Turkey Day and travel for Christmas!! Which reminds me also -- the 4 of us never wunna take away our Christmas together so in 2 weeks from now -- Santa comes to our house that night for the boys :]:] I am soooo excited and can't wait! Then the boys will have all week to play with their new toys before we have to leave on the 23rd to head to IL til the evening of the 27th for Christmas there with our families! We did this last year too and loved doing it this way -- we had all day to be in our PJ's, open presents, play with them all day and weekend and week -- and then this year I am also cooking a roast and noodles for us too :] Eeeeeek!!! I love this time of year and so do my boys soooo much!
We are taking a trip to Callaway Garden sometime soon too -- which is a Fantasy of Lights! I so can't wait!!!! :] The boys love the lights and Eli has already asked to go around looking at lights again so they will love it!! This Sunday is also Newnan's parade too!!! Fun stuff!!!
We went to LaGrange for their Christmas parade last night which was so much fun! Beforehand I took the boys with one of my friend's and her daughters to see Santa, Frosty, and Rudolph! Eli was not a fan of all 3 of them and he told me he also did not want Mommy or Zacary to sit on Santa's lap either awww poor baby and the way he looks out for us is so stinkin sweet!!!! He gets it from me... I was absolutely scared to death of him every single year when I was little! I did not make him sit on his lap at all or go near Frosty and Rudolph if he did not want to! Zacary loved Frosty and Rudolph and walked up to them awww!!! He also sat on Santa's lap but he was not a fan and it did not last long awww my sweet babies! Eli did not like that Mommy and Zacary went close to him awww such a sweetheart! Then Santa gave them both candy canes and Eli really thanked him and told him goodbye and later that evening in bed told me he wants to go see Santa again and will sit on Mommy's lap when we see him with Zacary awww -- so next Fri we are gunna try her out again :]:]
Here are some pics from our Turkey Day and Christmas Parade in LaGrange -- so so so much fun :] I also want to say as well that it was so awesome to have my hubby home with us for the 4 day weekend last weekend and to be at the parade with us last night too!!! I missed him terribly come Monday this week bc he was home with us so so much and we had a great time! I love him so -- he's the best darn hubby in the world :]:] He has this weekend off too woooot -- and as he snores in my ear I don't even care... I love to see him as much as I can :]:]
My lil family means the absolute world to me... I am one lucky and blessed girl beyond words!!!!! I love them so so so much and they always make me one happy wifey and mommy!!!!! Happy Holidays everyone... I really can't believe that Christmas is in 23 days eeeeeek and I have my shopping alllll done wooooot :]
