Giving thanks and chopping down trees...

Things we did in the last week:
*ate lots of delicious food (Thanksgiving with Justin's mom's side of the family, and Sunday at my parents' house)
*played a rousing game of Guitar Hero World Tour at "Gramma Tooweeta's" (the game was nothing compared to Britt's AWESOME dance moves during the classic Michael Jackson song "Beat It." Jordan and Kaitlynn, you know what I'm talking about)
*introduced Britt to his first bear... and the idea of taxidermy (he's not that into it...)
*hunted for and cut down a beautiful Christmas tree
*watched as Britt shamelessly flirted with Justin's cousin "Bridgie" all weekend
*went to baby Emelyn's blessing
*spent lots of time with family
* {Britt} played with cousins (David, Bridgett, Haylee, Jorden, Jillen, Jayden, Jensen, and Ellee)
* {Justin} worked 4 out of the last 5 days...
* {Brianna} ate my weight in sweet potatoes...

Not too sure about this bear...

one of our favorite traditions, when we get out of the car to hunt for Christmas trees we bury cream soda in the snow...then when we get back it's nice and frosty! :)


our last Christmas as a family of three!

I should have had the picture taken before we got got dirty and sweaty from hiking around and chopping down trees...


Ellee and Britt LOVING the new snowglobes Granny got them


Finally, Britt's 5 nap-less days caught up with him, and he fell asleep watching his new nightlight... at 6:00pm. :)
