Thanksgiving Madness---Putting up the tree

This thanksgiving was so fun..We had dinner at Jason's parents house and it was so fun to just have a nice dinner and to relax. We didn't make it up to my parents so we were sad about that, but it was a great dinner and fun times. This time of year is especially great for me. I get a little emotional about how we have grown this year and the things we have had to go through, but the trials were are all worth it. There is nothing better then to be with family and enjoy the true meaning of the holiday spirit. I hope everyone had a GREAT day.....
I made a Choc. Mud pie and Boston was so lucky, he got to lick the bowl and the spoon...what a mess.
This was Boston's table...Him and Jake were sure ready to EAT...................

Boston and cousin Jake both needed a little Pre-eat before the big eat...they loved those bananas


After we ate dinner and had a chance for our bellies to relax, Jason's mom whipped out the gingerbread houses...just for the kids....did you know what that meant for me....CANDY..yikes. i tried to refrain from taking some...but they all turned out so cute.



Here are all the little kids gingerbread houses...they were so Creative.......................




It is really hard to see but Boston has a "B" on his gingerbread house....





So there is nothing better then garland with a little bit of lights to make a room feel so festive

Nothing like making gingerbread houses to put you in the Holiday Spirit, huh? Where are you guys living now? I never heard an update on the housing situation...
