An update

Thanksgiving....  After Keith and a bunch of other guys played football at the park (and practically killed themselves doing it.  Really, they think they are so young and then they can't walk the next day!), we went on a walk as a family before heading home so I could make rolls.  I had my pies made the night before so it was great to just have one thing to do.  We headed to my brothers house in the late afternoon and enjoyed the best turkey I've ever had.  My brother was in charge of the turkey and he brined it and cooked it to perfection.  I'm still dreaming about that stuff!  All the other food was amazing too!!!

The kids all had tons of fun running around with each other.

The next day we spent at home, with Christmas music playing non-stop, setting up Christmas decor.

Camille loved our Little People nativity this year.  She's played with it a ton!

The boys set up the Christmas train.

We got the tree up.  As much as I LOVE a real tree, it sure is nice to pop it up and have the lights on it already.  Especially when there are eager little people waiting for Mom to get done with the matching ornaments so they can put on all the rest.

Camille playing with the nativity again that night.

She also can't get enough of these Santa hats.  She wears one every day.

Handsome coat boy before heading out to school.  It was so cold here after Thanksgiving!

 Coat girl!

 As I was doing some baking the other day, Camille was busy at the sink "washing" dishes.

I think she's really going to love what I've heard Santa is going to bring her this year!

 Our Relief Society hosted another Backyard Bethlehem complete with Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, live animals, shepherds, and music.  It was lovely.  They opened it up for bringing families, friends, and neighbors this past Sunday and there were about 300 people that came!

Keith took our packages and cards to the post office this morning and most of our Christmas treats have been delivered.  I'm excited to make a few more treats just for us and start relaxing a bit more.  Just a week and a half left of school before the kids will all be home.  I'm so excited!
