Thanksgiving and the days after!

We had such a fun Thanksgiving.  We (the girls and I) spent the week in Longview and Scott came Tuesday night.  So wonderful to have Gigi & Pops entertain the girls for awhile! We ate alot, drank more and did lots of fun things including playing outside as much as possible, a trip to Marshall, Tx for the downtown Courthouse lighting, Santa's workshop where Eleanor made a wooden train with the elves and took pics with Santa.  Also, the Thanksgiving parade was a huge hit with both girls (we have watched it at least 50 times), Amelia loved all of the food and Eleanor said " I cannot wait to taste all of the pies.  That is all I want."  Pretty true to both girls dispositions!

When we got home, we immediately bought our tree and went to work on decorating!  My favorite time of the year BY FAR!  Eleanor is LOVING her Elf on the Shelf that she named "Jingle".  She is on especially good behavior while he is watching over her!



 Amelia was in this car about 10 hours a day. She slept the rest :)


 Eleanor loving her cardboard box.  She made a house out of it and just lounged in it.

 Scott & I cooked the turkey.  Brine and all.  It was work, but one of the best I have eaten



 Sweet girls watching the parade
