It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

It took me two full days to decorate our house for Christmas!

Since Winnie was found living under a tree in our neighborhood, it makes sense that she'd be excited about our Christmas tree...

Some of my favorite decorations...

And one of my favorite ornaments of one of my favorite people, who we miss so much...

Skye and Winter love being under the tree...

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  We were so happy to be able to spend the holiday with my parents and my brother, Steven.  Tyler was unfortunately napping when we took family photos, but he joined us for lunch!  I made the pumpkin dessert, and my parents did an amazing job with the food, as always!  We got them a special card, and this was what Brady added...

Brady was so cute wanting to do math later in the day.  He loves using the calculator on my phone...

That evening, we put up our big Christmas tree, and Winter was very excited to have a new climbing tree.  Brady thought it was hysterical...I did not.  Once we added the ornaments the next day, I found a way to keep her from climbing the tree.  I keep a box filled with her toys, and as soon as she starts to go near the tree, I throw one of her toys in another direction, which distracts her.  She loves to chase after her toys.  She also loves her new cat tower!
