Thanksgiving-So what is "normal" anyway?

Reid and I are always doing some sort of art project...and November was definitely no different. We started making Reid an Indian headdress and then we thought "what fun would it be if the whole family dressed up like Indians and Pilgrims!" Why not? We really got into it and Reid told us all the Thanksgiving story. Shot and Grammie came to the house for lunch and you could just imagine their surprise as we opened the door. We had a great day. We could not be more thankful for all of our family. We know we are so fortunate and blessed. That weekend we went to Iola and visited everyone. The boys played outside the entire time we were there. They come in for food and sleep only. (Reid thinks he's a country boy when he is there!) Sunday we went and picked out our Christmas tree. Of course it is a little over the top at 9 feet tall...but hey, what have you come to expect? The place was great. They had Christmas music playing and there was a petting zoo for the kids. We came home and got to decorating... There are some pictures below. Photos of all of our Christmas decorations will follow soon.

Now this is one upset Indian!


"Round Rock"
(Reid's Indian name)
These goats were trying to eat our pants...


Reid liked the little donkeys.


Lots of ornaments near the bottom!




Hope you all are having a great holiday season!
We love this time of year.
