the season

the thanksgiving holiday was very relaxing and enjoyable. what could be better than extended quality time with family, yummy food, and late night conversations?! the boys' have been coming out of their "after time with cousins" funk. they love to play hard with all of their cousins and this time was no different. they are always very sad when it's over but special memories were made!

i don't have too many pictures this year because my memory cards are being bombarded with other peoples' families :) it's been a pleasure to be able to capture other families for them this season. i am really enjoying it. 

i do have a few from matthew's iphone of what we've been up to recently.

sunday evening we took the boys to pick out the family christmas tree. boy were they excited! 

tucker was mesmerized how the man wrapped the tree up in a net and has talked about it everyday since. they were so proud of that tree and watched daddy tie it up on top of the van full of smiles and "we really got to take it home!" 

we've already begun celebrating with our advent boxes this year. and grey has been pretending to be santa :)

their excitement for this season has grown from last year. i'm so glad it's only the beginning!
