Thanksgiving and a Little Bit of Christmas
We learned early on in our marriage that having two Thanksgiving dinners in one day was not the way to go. It was to hectic trying to get from one family to another on time and it was way to much food. We do Thanksgiving twice and its a wonderful way to really enjoy the holiday with both sides of our family. This year we had Thanksgiving with my family the day after Thanksgiving and it was great. We had great food, great company and a wonderful time just reflecting on God's goodness to us. We really have so much to be thankful for. My grandpa and his wife Betsy came for dinner. It was wonderful to spend time catching up with them and to watch them enjoy being with Sawyer so much. I was so busy with dinner and just enjoying my time with everyone I forgot to pull the camera out, so enjoythe few shots I got.
Ready to eat!
The weekend after Thanksgiving is when Christmas starts at our house. We pull out all our stuff and spend the weekend decorating and getting ready to enjoy the Christmas season as long as we can. My mom got Sawyer his own little tree and ornaments this year. We decided to let him open it and decorate after dinner. He had such a good time putting the ornaments on. He loved having a tree his size. It was so cute. Here are some pics of the boy with "his" Christmas tree.
Every time we go to grandma and grandpa's house Sawyer and grandpa "divide." Sawyer really looks forward to this special time with grandpa. My dad takes all he change out of his pockets and he and Sawyer divide it up. Sawyer groups all the like coins together and then divides them into two piles. They each have their own piggy bank too. It really is so cute to see them together.
