Tree Decorating

It's always fun to see how excited the kids get to decorate the tree and get ready for Christmas!!
I love this time of year!! All the Holidays, one right after another. Our tree is huge in our little apartment, and there is not enough room for all of our decorations, so we had to pick our favorites to put out.

Tree Lighting ceremony at the Gateway

We chose to go to the Gateway because Jon Schmidt was playing. We love his music and Tyler is also a huge fan. It is very fun to see Tyler sit and watch him in amazement. I know one day Tyler will be able to play as good as him, that's how much he loves to play the piano.

Thanksgiving Day

Our Family has gotten quite large and so we reserved the community center here in the village to hold thanksgiving at. Of coarse we stuffed ourselves with too much food and had a really good time. Thanks mom for making everything look so festive.

Turkey Bowl - CRABTREE'S VS NICHOLAS'

What a great day for a turkey bowl. The weather was great. The grass was a little slippery at first, and we saw a few spills. We made it through the game with only a few minor injuries. And everybody enjoyed the day. And yes, the Nicholas' won.
