Gobble, Gobble + It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

We have had the best Thanksgiving Break!! We had to celebrate the holiday here in San Antonio this year b/c Derek was on call during the month of November, so we spent our Turkey Day with the Gallimores & Goins. Although we certainly missed being in Georgia, we are so thankful for these precious friends in our life!

It was cold & rainy all weekend here, so it was perfect weather to stay inside, turn up the Christmas music, and deck the halls! I'm currently curled up on the coach next to the glow of our Christmas tree lights...perfection! Here are a few pictures from our weekend!

The girls put the vast majority of the ornaments on our tree themselves, they were very into it!!

Hadley sat for the longest time opening all of the ornament boxes and carefully unwrapping each one. :)

Setting up the "card tree" and the beloved train :)

All decked out in our winter coats for the first time this season to help Daddy with the outside decorations!

The past couple of years, we have just done the icicle lights along our roof. After our first Christmas in San Antonio last year, we learned most people here wrap the bottom half of their tree trunks in lights. So we did that this year, too! We said we're officially San Antonians now. ;)

Enjoying hot chocolate & Georgia football as our reward for finishing the lights in the cold weather :)

Isn't this how everyone watches the Dawgs play?!

Lots of time spent like this weekend :)

Shelby wanted Daddy to paint her nails, and he happily obliged :)

After baths tonight, we drove around to look at Christmas lights in our neighborhood and went to a local light show.
The girls loved it!

Other highlights of our weekend not pictured: potty training success!!!!!!, trip to the movies to see The Good Dinosaur (our girls officially love going to the movie theatre!), and four uninterrupted days with Derek at home--hooray for a quiet pager this weekend!!! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving, too!!!
