Thanksgiving has come and gone and we are in full-swing Christmas mode around here. The tree is up and decorated (for about 3 wks now), the outside lights are up, 80% of the presents are bought AND wrapped and as of 15 minutes ago, our photo Christmas cards are ordered and on their way. We put up our tree super early this year. Not sure why. We just did. Probably....no, definately the earliest we have ever put it up. And, more than likely, it will not happen again. :P

This pictures was taking shortly after we put up the tree....I love how she is chewing on her toes.... :-)

Fast forward to Thanksgiving......(yeah, we sometimes do things backwards at our house....don't judge) :-) We had a great Thanksgiving! We spent some time during the day with Jeremy's mom's extended family. We meet them at a church (actually the church where Jer and I met :) ) because of the size of Jeremy's moms family. Yeah, not too many houses can hold all of them, lol. We had a wonderful meal and catching up on family we don't see too often. Great times :-)

As per the annual tradition, we took our family picture. Yeah, this is the best we could do.......*sigh*

Gena was the star of the show.......... :-)

Grandma got in some baby girl time.....

Here is Jeremy's beautiful sister and her very handsome 2 boys

And Grandma and Grandpa with all the grands....

After we spent some time with his family, we went over to my parents house for the rest of the afternoon and evening. My sister and her family and my cousin and her family was all there too. I absolutely love spending time with family :-) Nothin' beats it :-)

Here is my 2nd cousin, Luke and my baby girl. He literaly held Gena about all afternoon and played with her. He loves babies. Too bad he lives 3 hours away.....he'd make a great babysitter!

My kiddos with all their cousins.....

Please remember to pray for my mom this week. She is going in Thursday and Friday for a stress test on her heart. She has to do this before her surgery in January. Thanks :-) Hope you all have a great week!!!
