Thanksgiving into Christmas!

Last weekend we put up the Christmas tree! I posed the kids for several pictures for my Christmas card, and Claire loved the excuse to be all dressed up! Cane is always very difficult when it is time to take pictures, I have to get creative! I should have posted the pictures of Cole and Claire standing nice in front of the tree, with Cane's back side facing me. He thought he was pretty funny when I would say "smile Cane" and instead of smiling, he would turn around and face the tree instead to ruin my picture! Haha, not funny, I deleted those right away. I did manage to get a couple good ones!







This year we will not be able to make it to Grandma McCumber's for Christmas, so they brought Christmas for the kids to Thankgiving! The kids were very excited to get to open their gifts. They know exactly what the kids will like, and they did good again this year. Claire took her dress-up dolls for sharing today, Cole carried around his motorcycle the whole weekend, and Cane pushed his truck around for hours!


We then headed to Grandma McQuinn's for Thanksgiving. A few weeks ago I was very sad after talking to my brother. He was preparing me for the fact that he didn't think he was going to be making it home for Thanksgiving due to work. With there upcoming home location still being up in the air, no specific end date, and no idea when we would see Matt and Sarah again, I was very sad. However, we were very excited to find out that not only was he going to get some much needed time off, he was going to be able to come home for 5 days! We had a great time just hanging around the house, playing games, and having a few drinks.
