Thanksgiving and the TREE HUNT 2014

This Thanksgiving went off without one hitch! Everything was so lovely and so perfect. And this Thanksgiving we have SO much to be grateful for. We're so blessed. This year was my family's year so we had Thanksgiving dinner at Kathy's on Wednesday night. What a meal!!! Kath made the Turkey, potatoes, and gravy. Janie made some incredible rolls, salad, jello, and pie. And I made the sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, and ice cream pie. We had a fun dance party, played charades, had a little lesson and just really enjoyed being together. Todd is so missed. Such a big personality that's not there anymore but I see so much of him in his boys. - The next morning we woke up and watched the Macey's Thanksgiving day parade together, made more food, and headed to my moms for another wonderful meal. That lady knows how to put a meal together. She's incredible. We ended the night kind of early so we could all go home and get ready for the tree hunt. We weren't really sure what to do with Kemp and didn't know whether we should even go or not. But I felt like I had already missed so many things this year that I didn't want to miss this and I knew I could keep him safe and warm in his car seat so....up to Preston we went! Kemp was an angel and didn't cry once. Tob went and got us our tree, we had soup and salad with the cousin, the kids all saw Santa, and we had a wonderful time singing Christmas Songs at the top of our lungs both there and back...Tate included. I can honestly say this may be one of my all-time favorite traditions EVER!!!!
