Extended holiday

Everyone got to sleep in today, it was GREAT!!! Noelle woke up first and crawled into bed with me around 8:00, but snuggled until 8:30. We stayed in bed watching cartoons, until Joleigh decided to get up at 9:00. When we finally got out of bed and started the day, I was anxious to start decorating for Christmas. It was so much fun sorting through decorations and listening to Christmas music. My favorite was Joe dancing around the living room with Noelle and then later telling them the Christmas story with their Little People Nativity set.






Later in the day we extended our Thanksgiving holiday and celebrated with Joe's dad, Tom and his fiance, Paula, at their house. We had a delicious meal of prime rib, potatoes, green beans and home-made cheese cake. It was nice to just relax with everyone and not feel rushed to go to the next place. Unfortunately, we missed Jeri, Joe's sister, who stayed in Kansas for the holiday with her boyfriend. It wasn't the same without her, but we are all super excited to see her in just a couple weeks!

It has been such a nice couple of days filled with yummy food and fantastic family, plus we still have the rest of the weekend. So much to give thanks for!
