Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was spent with our neighbors Jared and Whitney, and then Jonathan's brothers Alex and Anthony and their friend came over as well. Jared and Whitney took care of the turkey, stuffing, potatoes, gravy and drinks, and we took care of the corn, green bean casserole, rolls (which half turned out ghetto? Only half the pan rose), and banana cream and chocolate cream pies, as well as a caramel apple dip w/ apples for an appetizer. Anthony brought pecan, pumpkin, and apple pies. Needless to say, we were definitely prepared for dessert! It was all sooo yummy. We didn't take a picture of our feast..but I figure I'd spare you anyway. You know what food looks like, I'm sure.

After dinner, the boys watched football (until Jonathan couldn't take seeing UT mess up and still be losing so he turned it off - thank goodness - because I didn't want to spend 3 hours watching that). Then everyone decided to go to Walmart to be ready to grab their items before 8pm. We got there..and I stood there next to Whitney for 5 minutes. Lydia was being soo wiggly and wanted to just walk around..but couldn't because there were TONS of people! I really don't mind shopping at like 4 or 5 in the morning on black Friday, it seems like less people.. but this was just insane. I was only there for 5 minutes before I decided to just take Lydia home. It felt so nice being home - quiet and calm, and no people. And she fell asleep in the car, so I got to take a little nap. About an hour and a half later, everyone came home with their goodies - lots and lots of movies. They seemed to have really good deals on that. We went back upstairs and the boys were playing the new Assassin's creed. Then I convinced them to watch Disney's Squanto and that's how we ended our night - which I'm glad! It's a really good movie, and has been a tradition of my dad's/family since I can remember.

After it was over we went home and decided to put up our tree. It came with lights, but we have no ornaments yet, so we'll probably go to the dollar tree later and get some cheap decos! I'm excited. :)

I told her to say 'blaaaahhh.' Notice her shirt? We're SO ready for Christmas!!

When she gets tired she likes to hop on the couch, grab my arm and hold it next to her cheek.  My arm was also wrapped through her arms and legs with her feet crossed. After this, I grabbed her in my arms and she fell asleep. It was sweet :)

My weird rolls. I think the 8 on the right are from an old bag in the freezer. Good thing I got more at the store Wednesday night.

Lydia playing in the kitchen while Whitney cleaned up. Jonathan and the boys were entertained by football (bleh)

She always has so much fun over there haha

My silly little beautiful goose :)

When we came home (at like 12:30 haha) we decided to put our tree together. This is our first tree we've ever had. Our first Christmas married, we were moving, but Jon's mom got us a mini little tree for our apartment while we were there. We ended up having to give it away because we couldn't take it with us. Last year we spent Christmas in CO. This year I have no idea what's happening, but I'm glad I get to decorate my house all Christmasy. It's my favorite holiday. :)

Despite what I said on facebook, I actually told her to touch the tree for this picture. I think it's cute. Plus, she really likes "liiiiiii" haha for lights

She does really well with the tree. She hardly touched Jared and Whitney's tree. And even last night I caught her hanging a (clean) diaper on the tree hahaha I thought that was funny.

This morning cuddles. We're both a little shleepy (lookin') haha
