Highlights of Our Holidays

Chris was able to take the entire week of Thanksgiving off of work.

Alexander only went to school on Monday which left the rest of the week for family time.

I was able to get out of the house & work a couple of hours by myself in the office.

We had a successful dinner at Ninfa's as a Family Wednesday night.

We successfully left a Transformer at Ninfa's after a Family Dinner Night.

We had a fabulous lunch at the Stelly's on Thanksgiving Day. Complete with Fried Turkey, Baked Ham, Roasted Pork Loin, Candied Sweet Potatoes, Green Bean Casserole, Corn Bread Dressing, Rice Dressing, Macaroni & Cheese, etc...okay, okay, here's a picture of my plate fixed with a bit of everything complete with an cold coke.

We started a new tradition of roasting marshmallows and making s'mores with graham crackers on the fire pit.

My Sweet Boy didn't want a S'More....Nah, just went straight to the chocolate. Who needs all that extra stuff clouding the taste buds?

In the afternoon we rolled our full, jolly bellies drove across the bayou to Mom & Dad's house for dinner and YES, we ATE AGAIN!

We couldn't get enough of their dog, CoCo's, pups who were just opening their eyes after only being born 2 weeks earlier. They were snuggly, grunting little balls of fur and Sophie couldn't squeeze on them enough. {Anyone need a puppy for Christmas? They'll be weened the week before, wink, wink, hint, hint....}
Friday afternoon we went for the ride to get our Christmas Tree & lemme tell ya, it wasn't an easy feat with two 20 mo. olds in tow. We unwrapped 3 trees and by the third one, Sophie was rolling around in the limb clippings and Izzy had gotten lost in one of the 6-7 ft. tree bays. Wasn't expecting to leave so frazzled. Chris & Alexander put the lights on the house & then we settled in for a weekend wind down.

We finally decorated the tree tonight. More on that debacle later....
