We always enjoy any kind of break around here especially when it is an extended one that we can really throw ourselves off schedule! We slept late, went to bed whenever we got tired and played all day long. Sometimes we got a nap and sometimes we were just too busy for one and that was ok too. The boys spent some time with their Papa and cousin Avery Grace, who was here for a few days, and that is always a special treat.
We went to Emily and Jim's to enjoy our Thanksgiving lunch on Thursday and had a great time visiting with the "Selma" family!
Mason has become such a ham with the camera and always wants his picture taken so this was a treat for me...I have to hold Braxton down to get him to pose with me...I really can't blame him because I am the same way, but how could I say no to this sweet face...
We never go anywhere without some sort of ball in our car because it can always entertain the boys for hours!
We caught a quick photo of the boys with their daddy...this was Mason's posing spot, he wanting me to take numerous pics of him on this Mule! :)
On Friday we ventured to the Baker Farm to enjoy a day with friends and a "little" football game. Leah and I were the only Auburn Fans so it was a great game for us, but the others were a little depressed about the turnout!
Braxton and Hue watching the Tide control the first half!
A mother's duty never stops for a football game!! Evan is getting a quick change!
Mason didn't really care about the game, in fact I don't think he watched one second...he was too busy eating. (Mason and Charlotte)
And climbing trees...
And driving this sweet dog crazy!!
What a fantastic week and I am so blessed to have been able to spend it with my boys! We have so much to be thankful for and I am so greatful for it all! Looking forward to spending more time on our next break...in 3 weeks (but who's counting???).
Once the boys got started they moved pretty quick decorating. This was the first year that they really got to do most of the ornament hanging...the branches they could reach anyway. Some branches had multiple ornaments on it and it hung to the floor but that's okay because they were so very proud of their work. Braxton enjoyed seeing the ornaments that he had made in the past and I look forward to many many more to go with them.
We even got Lucy some holiday attire and she posed with the boys by the tree :)
The finished tree. It feels so good when it is all done and we can sit and enjoy it.
That night our elf, Dustin, showed up from the North Pole. He was waiting for the boys when they awoke...sitting on their "Bama" tree. Cannot wait to see what all he gets into this year!
We are looking forward to all the fun holiday festivities that come with this time of year. The boys will sing Sunday during church with their choir groups and I can't wait for that, what a way to kick off the "Reason for the Season".
