We started the day with the girls getting the turkey ready and Ben and Brett running in the Turkey Trot race.
We had a great turkey dinner as we watch the Packers win!! Can you get much better then that....good food, family and football ;)
Then the next morning we had an awesome breakfast of omlets with the left overs.....yummy! Thanks mom and dad for cooking

I love Thanksgiving but I LOVE the days after....
I love when it is acceptable to turn on the lights outside. Play Christmas music so loud that we need to scream across the room to hear eachother (Go Fish's Christmas CD is our fav.) and decorate tho house to the max.
This Thanksgiving my sister and her husband came in town and since they are unable to come back for Christmas we celebrated while they were here. I took one room and set up a tree and some lights. I thought hey this is great. An early start and maybe the family will be ok with the fake tree this year and we won't need to trudge through the snow and cut one down. NOPE!! No go ;) Ben has enlisted Nathan in their little sceam to make sure that will not happen. They have made it known that we will be going to cut down our tree. Nathan stated that the tree we have up now just won't do....ok....ok...I get it! He also let me know that I can still keep up this tree so we will have 2....ha...ha. We'll see about that one.
So today the girls and I are finishing up the decorating. Making sure we get everything out so we can enjoy them!
