Originally we were going to go home and spend it with our families, but the kiddos got sick so we decided to stay home. This actually turned out to be better for us because Thanksgiving morning I ended up getting sick, and my amazing husband finished our supper. He did such an awesome job, and everything tasted so good.
Saturday morning we got up, and after breakfast we headed out to get a Christmas tree. I love bundling the kiddos up, and getting them out of the house since we spend the majority of our time at home during the winter (keeping the micro-preemie trio safe and healthy). They had such a great time looking at all the trees, and wandering around the tree farm. Coach and I grew up going up into the mountains, playing in the snow, roasting lunch over a fire, and hiking around to find the perfect tree, and although that isn't possible where we live now, I am so thankful that we are able to take them to a Christmas tree farm where they can run around have a good time searching for a tree. This year Z and his daddy found the perfect tree. Seriously, it's perfect.We had such a fun decorating the tree, and putting up all of our holiday decorations. Z was especially into putting everything up. He followed Coach around all afternoon making sure he was doing the house lights correctly, was extra good about taking a nap, and took careful thought hanging his ornaments, and giving his mama "advice" when putting the rest of the decorations up.

I have a ton of photos on our camera I need to download from this past week...someday...someday soon I hope.
Sunday was pretty mellow. Our Elf on the Shelf Emily is back, and brought the kiddos some mini donuts for breakfast, and the movie Planes too. They loved the message she left in peanut butter M&Ms.After breakfast we went and watched football at Nana (my Mom) and Papa's house (she has NFL Sunday ticket and the Bears were not scheduled in our area).
