On our way to Christmas...

Thanksgiving was such a fun day. We went to my parents' house where my whole family was (All 35 of us!) and though we filled the entire house, we had such a great time catching up with everyone and eating our guts out! It was Kolton's first ever experience of feeding himself (besides biter biscuits and cheerios) so we naturally stripped him down and let him have at it. He did really well and got quite messy but had the time of his life! He especially loved my sister, Cristi's sweet potatoes!



On Friday, after a crazy day of early-morning shopping (meaning 3am-2pm) and many great deals, which I can't disclose lest Wes reads this blog, we went looking for our Christmas tree. This is a tradition we have had since we were married. We always go to Idaho with Wes's family and chop down our own tree. The trees are generally pretty scrawny, but that is what we love! Kolton had a great time, even though it was pretty cold, and he thought the snow was pretty great. His daddy even let him 'drive' the suburban (parked and not running, of course!) We got home last night and set it up and then decorated it today. Here are some of the photographic highlights courtesy of www.scrapblog.com!
