“It is not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, that the true measure of our thanksgiving.” ~ W.T Purkiser
 |
| Our busy holiday weekend, started by picking up our Christmas Tree at ... Costco. |
 |
| You can't beat, the Costco quality control, delivery to your car and nicely bound limbs, that slide right into our sleigh. |
 |
| On Thanksgiving Day, we had 14 loved ones over and among other things, Lilly liked eating and looking through the ads. She knows a good deal when she see it. |
 |
| Even Mrs. Whiskers was in a giving mood and let Emma and Lilly have some quality time, petting her. |
 |
| Friday, we filled the house with decorations, Lilly loves having a tree in her room. |
 |
| Matt helped her put the start on the top. |
 |
| Saturday we spent the morning with Lilly's boys at Cracker Barrel, Nick and Lilly could be siblings, look at that hair. |
 |
| I don't know what is going on here, but the look on their faces is awesome.... |
 |
| Cracker Barrel could sell a lot of their candles, with these sweeties standing in front of them. |
 |
| As if, we were stuffed from all of the breakfast after some shopping, yard work and napping we went to Old Chicago to celebrate Matt's birthday. And on Sunday ... we curled up, counted our blessings and celebrated the First Sunday in Advent. |
