Thanksgiving and lots of time with Daddy....

Lauchlin has been the Thanksgiving Day cook basically since we have been married. This is fine with me because he is an excellent cook. So, Thanksgiving Day he was busy but has also gotten the process down so he could come out of the kitchen to hang out too in between making things...Then we put the kids down for a nap and had a yummy meal. It included, creamed onions and peas, stuffing, turkey, mashed potatoes, giblet gravy, corn and cranberry relish. Pumpkin pie followed later. Yummy!

The kids had some of the meal later. But, it is much more relaxing initially to eat alone. We could just take our time and have adult conversation. This next picture is somewhat random but the only picture of me from the week since I am mostly behind the camera. My friend Katie graciously watched the kids for me the Tuesday before Thanksgiving so I could get my hair cut. Here it is....

With Lauchlin home for 4 days, the kids got lots of Daddy time. They LOVE it when he is home. Jude is always calling 'Daddy, where are you?' if Lauchlin isn't in the same room.

We also watched plenty of football which we all enjoy. Jude wears his Tennessee jersey every Saturday for college football. We have so many pictures of him in this jersey you probably are wondering if he has any other clothes.

Jude is loving playing blocks recently and building towers. He also loves to knock them over!!

Here they are as we watched 'Home Alone' on Sunday. Love that movie and have great memories of my Dad laughing so hard he cried at the antics of the robbers. Fun Thanksgiving weekend tradition!

Now we are anticipating visiting PA for Christmas! Not long at all!!

I have much to be thankful for! Happy Advent as well!

Much love,
