my pilgrim girl
Thanksgiving, sadly without both Mr. Incredible and his dad (I had bought a rather large turkey thinking there would be more people joining us for the meal....)
There were decorations put up.... Jim put all -- the many! -- outdoor decorations up on a Saturday and the next day there was a huge rain and wind storm and blew them all down.... The Christmas decoration graveyard in our front yard was so very sad! So sad, I didn't take any pictures of it....
one of many contributions to the indoor decorations from 1st grade art class
the reason for the season
the guy who makes the season jolly and magical for lil ones
the stockings were hung...and two were made the night before Christmas Eve so that Santa didn't leave anyone out....
the tree was decorated
paper gingerbread houses were made (completely on his own, I might add)
LOTS of treats were baked
the traditional reading of "'Twas the Night" on Christmas Eve
Santa had worked his magic
yes, it was a full moon that night -- providing Santa with plenty of light outside!
Christmas morning waiting for mommy to give the go-ahead to see all of Santa's magic
Santa, his reindeer and mice were hungry! And Santa even left a note!
opening gifts!
while the boys so happily watched -- not a peep the entire morning...
...other than some laughs!
And there was snow and sledding the following week with no school....
It was a very busy and exhausting holiday...but FILLED with joy, love and magical moments.
