Thanksgiving 2010

We are SO incredibly blessed in everyway that I can't even express my gratitude enough. But most of all I'm SO thankful for my wonderful husband who works so hard to provide a good living for our family. A husband who comes home from a long day of work (usually 12 hrs) and still has the energy to take time to play with his kids and then give me a back massage almost every night. And also I'm most thankful for my 3 healthy and incredibly beautiful girls.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. We had Thanksgiving meal at my Uncle Clarence and Aunt Kelly's house with the Schaub side. There were about 80 people there, there were a lot missing. Then that night we took the kids to see Tangled. It will definently be one to buy, really cute.
It was so fun to have Dave's sister Amanda and husband Mike join us this year.

Tayte's first Thanksgiving and first roll. She LOVED it! She was so happy for about 30 minutes just sucking on that thing.


Friday morning me and Dave got up early and went out to conquer the black Friday crowd. We did pretty good and got all the girls shopping done.
Then Friday night went to Glendale Glitters. A great outdoor Christmas festivity.

They had a bunch of bounce houses and slides the girls LOVED.


In front of the big Christmas tree.

Blurry, but we got a yummy chocolate covered cheesecake


And Dave's Mexican hotdog. He said it was the best hotdog he's ever had. It had like cucumbers, avocados, salsa and who knows what else.

Then Sat. morning it was time to decorate for Christmas. The girls had been waiting for this day. They were sooo excited to pull out all the Christmas stuff from the containers. And Tayte just had fun sitting and watching.

Ty and Mads LOVED decorating the tree and looking at all our fun ornaments

This mouse tells the night before christmas story. Tayte didn't know what to think.

And the stockings were hung. (we still need to make Tayte one, this week hopefully)

The final product


They are all ready for Christmas! Now it's the waiting that 3 and 4 year olds just don't quite understand. Madix asked me this morning if its Christmas tonight when it gets dark. Its gonna be a long month for them.
