Thanksgiving 2014

We had a such a fun time celebrating Thanksgiving this year. First of all, we had several glorious days together as a family. Both Carl and I had time off of work and the boys had a break from school. It was wonderful! We decorated the tree, watched movies, ate dinner with our families, played, spent time with friends, and watched U of L win against UK in the annual football game. It was fantastic. I was super sad on Monday morning when it was all officially over and we all had to return to work and school. Thankfully, we have another big break from school and work coming up in a few weeks and we will be spending time together in Key West!

Preston's Thanksgiving Feast

Thanksgiving at Grammy and Granddaddy's House

Preston really liked the fire. He would not pose for a picture, because he was too busy watching the fire and getting warm!

Back at out house, Evan was happy to participate in all parts of decorating the Christmas tree, including getting the tree set up, putting the lights on, etc. He is so helpful!

At first, Preston preferred to watch "The Grinch" instead of helping with the Christmas tree.

 

Preston soon discovered the switch to turn the Christmas lights on and off, which he found fascinating. (He has since discovered the joy of playing with his favorite ornaments on the tree. This makes for lots of redecorating fun!)





 

On Friday, Evan and Vera were cuddle buddies, as always. Evan insisted that I take a picture!

When Preston saw me taking a picture of Evan and Vera, he requested that I take his picture too! SO cute! He even yelled, "Cheese!"

We had  more Thanksgiving fun on Friday night, when Bonnie Mom, Grandpa, Aunt Rachel, Uncle Teddy and Caroline joined us for dinner.

We loved a Cards win, especially when playing UK!
