Thanksgiving time w/ the fam

Today we are heading to KS to spend the holiday with our family!!  I couldn't be any more excited.  We have been super busy lately.  I got all my fall decor down and am so excited to decorate for Christmas.  This is probably going to sound horrible but I am sure I am not the only one.  I am kind of anal about the Christmas tree, i love decorating it with the kids but always find myself showing them where they should hang their ornament or moving them after they hang them and have left the room so it looks just right.  I did not want to do that this year.  I wanted them to have the tree just like they wanted it... so, we bought them a cute   little tree for the basement family room.  The kid's bedroom's are down there and they spend more time down there then upstairs so it is perfect.  I sat back and watched them do it all on their own (well, besides helping them put on the lights and some ribbon, they had a hard time with that).  The tree is completely their own and they LOVE it.  And momma has her very own Christmas tree upstairs to decorate just like i want.  I am so glad we did it.  I will post pictures later!  I am off to continue getting ready for our trip south!

I will leave you with a picture of my window :)  I love the twinkling lights!

Happy Thanksgiving!!
