Thanksgiving was fabulous! This was our first year home in 10 years, yep since Jason & I met 10 yrs ago we have been spending our Thanksgivings with teenagers (it really isn't so bad!) But last year we decided would be our last year going to youth conventions, as me, Jas, & Noelle packed up to leave; Karly said "mom mom, daddy & sissy go, but you no take me?" At that moment I knew those words would forever haunt me. I spent most the weekend with tears in my eyes wanting to hold my baby girl. And so as much as I love my teens it is time to be home again. Thanksgiving was great, we got to spend the day relaxing & putting up Christmas decor. Karly is so my child when it comes to holidays! Then Saturday we spend the evening with Jason's family & Sunday we got to see my family and watch our rowdy children run a muck! So much fun!

| We only broke one ornament! Good Job Kar! |

| Ok so only my family will appreciate this, but this was my reindeer from when I was Kar's age & I was totally obsessed with him! She loved him SO much! |

| Ahhh. love a christmas tree! |
While I cleaned up I found Miss Karly playing in my shoes, the girl is always in my heels... priceless!
Let's see what else has been happening? Oh Karly & I got to go to a video shoot with my dear friend Becky. If you have not caught wind of the song you must live in a bubble! The song is amazing (and yes I am bias but no bias attached I think it is one of the best Christmas songs in a long time!) I have loved seeing the process watching her go through it & seeing how much people really do what to hear the "true" meaning of Christmas-- JESUS! So please if you haven't, check out the link & spread the word. Oh yeah, I am in the back row on the video-- haaa! & got to sing back up vocals-Thanks Beck, you big star, you!
Karly attempted her first Christmas play at our new church. Um... lets just say it didn't go so well. We will try again next year. But she did sing the song & dance all by herself for me & Jason and our friends Jason & Courtnee. So she put on a small performance, I guess she is just a solo artist! lol!
I am thrilled for Christmas this year, it is so fun with a little one in the house. She loves the Christmas lights, but doesn't understand why they are only on at night time. We finished all our shopping early, so the presents are wrapped & under the tree. I think this year more than any we have realized how much we just love being a family.
