Four Jingle Bells

Brooke on Thanksgiving being her super adorable self in a dress that Hailey wore at that age (tear!) This year, my crafty sister Michelle offered to do Thanksgiving at her house. It was such a fun time!! Our whole family was there except Sarah's husband Clint who had to work. Michelle made the turkey in a very specialized way and had cute place settings and crafts for the kids. Ethan looking thrilled with his fun craft! Blake and Spencer watching the parade while Hailey and I cooked. She made the green bean casserole and sweet potatoes mostly by herself! I was so proud! Mmmm, smells good!

Blake had tithing settlement one Sunday before Thanksgiving and we were getting bored so we put up the tree. The kids were such big helpers!! They loved it. It was such a great time! So, yes, we have had our tree up for three weeks, but it's actually been kind of fun! Each year, we get a new ornament for each of us for the tree. This year, Spencer got a reindeer because their is a farm near us that has reindeer and he loves to drive by and look at them. Brooke got a snowflake because she is just the sweetest little delicate yummy thing!! Hailey got a girl with with two red braids. Blake got a big heart because that is what he has. And he got me a pretty glass angel. It was great. We love this tradition and our tree is looking pretty mish mashed but it has lots of great memories.
