What a nice thanksgiving we had at the GB house. My sisters really helped out doing practically everything so I was able to rest. This being fat-and-8-months-pregnant thing at the holidays is tougher than I imagined. The boys were really good and the food was plentiful and delicious. Aidan still insisted that he was thankful for football which we just can't figure out. Jake wowed us and said he was thankful for his mom and dad (aw).
We got the tree set up and the house all decorated for christmas. How much fun! Unfortunately I didn't feel well at all and had to lay down on the couch and just watch the boys. But it was so nice to see them discover their ornaments and hang them on the tree.
As a tradition each child picks out a special ornament for themselves each year and we pick out a family ornament with the year and room for a photo. Jake picked something from Star Wars (surprise!) and it plays the Imperial March. over and over...gee, I hope nothing happens to the batteries.... Aidan picked out Rocket from Little Einsteins. It's not festive, but it's cute at least.
As soon as I ordered the pictures for our christmas card, the boys did something so cute--all on their own--that would have made the perfect card. Oh the timing!
