Thanksgiving!

Like the sands of Tatooine through the hourglass, so are the days of the Holiday season! I know, Thanksgiving isn't even here yet, but my family can't wait for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. The problem is that they come and go so quickly, story of my life since having children. So, Seth wants everything he sees for Christmas (go figure) and Luke is just excited at all the lights which is really cute. I didn't realize how educational Christmas lights could be; however, Luke is learning his colors that way. :) It's funny how your kids really make the season feel so special!

We have several family traditions that we look forward to every year, we have our family over for a big Thanksgiving dinner, followed by a lazy afternoon of naps, video games, and going through the sales paper. We go shopping on Friday and put up our Christmas tree that weekend while finalizing other decorations (again with the Christmas Lights!). On Christmas Day Celena is the first one up and ready to go downstairs. We open presents and have Pancakes and sausage balls (tradition from my family - Mom always made sausage balls for us - yum!). We go to my brother's house on Christmas Day for Lunch and open presents there. We also travel to my parents house either the weekend before or after Christmas with Chris and Michelle which is really fun.

Anyway, just wanted to record some of the Christmas excitement this year, can't wait till next week!
