Happy Thanksgiving to all! We sure had a great one this year in Mtn. View with my family. We ate until we couldn't eat anymore, rested, watched a lot of football, ate some more, had Christmas with my family, and ate and ate and ate some more! We were stuffed full of turkey, dressing and pecan pie! It was perfect! We feel so blessed this year and are thankful for more than we could ever list. But most of all we are thankful for the wonderful memories from yet another fantastic holiday with family! Here are some pics from the long holiday weekend...
We attempted to get a family photo for our Christmas cards this year...After our third try I just gave up!

Case got to ride on all sorts of fun vehicles while in Arkansas. That's what living in the country is all about. I think he kept my dad pretty busy!

And since James and I take turns every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas, we did Christmas with my family while we were there this week. The boy cousins had such a great time, and of course, Case was more interested in their presents than his own! The most popular being Evan's Angry Birds game.

Since our return to Memphis, I've been busy decorating for Christmas at our house. Tree is up and wreaths and stockings are hung. I just love this time of year and my festive house just makes me so happy! Now I'm just ready for the rain to stop so I can put some lights on our bushes outside and then my decorating will be complete!
And our elf, Gizmo, arrived at our house yesterday. Straight from the North Pole. Early this morning I heard a pitter patter on the stairs and went to see what Case was up to. He had snuck downstairs to look for Gizmo. Case always comes in our room first thing in the morning when he wakes up, so I was quite surprised. He was so excited to find Gizmo that he couldn't wait to start his search. He has been telling Gizmo all the things he wants Santa to bring him...trains, more trains and some Angry Birds! Of course, Gizmo promotes good behavior as well, which we are very thankful for! We hope Gizmo is able to give good reports to Santa!
