After we were all done decorating we plugged the tree in again to see the final product and the middle set of lights on the tree quit working. Oh well! Hunter and Hannah are so proud of our christmas tree and stockings.

We just couldn't wait to put up a Christmas tree this year. The last two years we just had a little 20" tree because we didn't have any room in our house. So, Ryan got out our tree that we have had stored away for a couple of years. We had so much fun decorating it so I thought I would share pictures.

I hope you all had great Thanksgiving! We had a wonderful day spending time with my family first and then going to Grandma Surrages house. We reflected and talked about all that we have to be grateful for. The list is endless!!! Most important though is our family. I am grateful for our two wonderful kids. It is so fun to see them grow and learn new things. Hunter is really into spelling words and writing sentences. He loves school this year and has the best teacher ever (my mom). Hannah seems like she is growing up everyday. She loves to carry all of her stuff animals everywhere she goes. It is great watching her be a little mom to her stuff animals putting them down for a nap, pretending to feed them and even helping them go potty. We are also grateful for our families and all they do for us. It is nice living close to family and friends.

Happy Halloween!!!

Hannah decided she wanted to try on Hunter's costume.

Halloween was lots of fun. Hunter was Jack Sparrow and Hannah was a little Bumble Bee. They came to a Halloween party that afternoon at my work and then went to a community Trunk or Treat. We were all exhausted by the time the night was over.
