Bonus Thanksmas Pictures

Lego Time!

We got home and the kids were supposed to be unpacking and picking up their rooms.

Instead...they played with their new Lego sets.

Ah well...they are kids.

First Christmas

Since most of us resemble hobbits, we decided to do two Christmases.  Just kidding.  We do a first Christmas at Thanksgiving because that is when I see my family and it has become a fun tradition.

Husband and I decided to bring the flu this year.  We brought the gift that keeps giving.  Aren't we lovely?  I am honestly surprised that none of my family chucked us out of the house.  Instead they were very helpful with the baby and forgiving of our moans and coughs.

This kid figured out how to open gifts this time.  Hello new world!

And here he is vogueing in is new Yoda hat.  Do you think he has any idea how cute he is?

Yes.  Yes he does.

We had a great time with my family.  

And don't worry about the scratchy throats you will get.  

It will pass.  

Eventually.  

I hope.

Painting Time

My sister, S, brought a painting project for everyone.  It was really fun and a great way to bond.  

I love how everyone's turned out so different. 

Thanksgiving Play by Director E

My sister E put on a play with the kids this year.  It was really funny!  And the kids learned that you do not mess with Director E.  When she is directing, she means business.

E was the cutest turkey ever and H played a good 'old man'.

Riley got to wield a weapon.  So he was happy.

It was very cute!
