Thanksgiving and Christmas Tree Decorating

I cannot believe Thanksgiving has already came and is now gone. This year we went to Brian and Naomi Sharpe's house (Jason's parents) and had lunch with....Gramma and Grampa Sharpe (Jason's grandparents) Grandpa Koester (Naomi's dad-Jason's granddad), Jerry and Terry Sharpe (Jason's dad's brother & sis in law), Benjamin Sharpe-their son, Blair his girlfriend; then Justin and Peyton and Jason. It was a nice lunch and Peyton had fun entertaining althought he wasn't 100% we took a family picture for our Christmas pictures, which I'm not too thrilled about but they look good I guess ;0). Then after lunch I called my family in Texas, and the ritual is to pass around the phone so I can say hi to everyone, and that was just hard for me this year, especially when my Aunt Elaine got on the phone and said she's excited about meeting Peyton, because after 3 1/2 years she has never seen him, that really really bothered me.....and made me really homesick....but soon we'll be flying home to Texas!!!!

During the Wednesday to Sunday I was off that week we put together our 9 ft Christmas tree, it was a Christmas tree that Jason's parents let us borrow, very sweet of them. We were going to decorate it Silver and Red but decided on Silver, Red and Gold and it's very pretty I think ;0) and even Peyton has a tree, it's of course, a Tennessee Vols with Orangish and White balls and his ornaments I have started to collect for him since his 1st christmas, a tradition mom started w/us kids :0) He is very proud of his little tree!!!! and instead of him decorating our very delicate ornaments he decorated with his ornaments and he was very careful with it, it was very sweet :0)

Then the next day was Thanksgiving and the first thing he said when he got our of bed was is Santa coming today ;0) how sweet is that?? I had to explain Santa had to eat his thanksgiving meal....

So, Peyton is asking for a Lightning McQueen bike for Christmas from Santa Claus...we'll see what Santa can do ;0)

(enjoy the pics)

Hi! Hi! Hi!

Wow! I am so excited to get connected with you- yippee! Your hubby is so cute and your son is even cuter! ;-)

I am so happy that everything is going so well for you! I can't believe that we're having a BOY! I have no clue what to do with one! You'll have to give me some tips, girl!

I am actually going to be the youth intern at Fellowship Bible Church so I will be hanging out with the high schoolers as well. I start the Mon. before my son is born on Fri.- Crazy, huh?
