Christmas tree decorating

We spent the weekend after Thanksgiving putting up our Christmas tree. Marc is old enough this year that he was able to help us put it together.

Samantha wasn't quite sure what to think of the artificial tree. When we first had a feel it, she jerked her hand away. The more she touched it, the better she was with how it felt.
While Marc was decorating the tree, he also decorated himself. :)

Black Friday - Happy Shopping!

Yes, my Mom and I went shopping the day after Thanksgiving. But, no we did not go out at 4:00am. We met at Rivertown Mall at 9:30. We were there until about 5:30pm. We got some good sales on lots of Christmas gifts. Both kids did a great job. Samamntha had it the easiest, jst sitting in her stroller. ;)Marc and Samantha were great! They didn't complain and they listened very well. Since they were so good, Grandma took them to Build-a-Bear.Marc chose to have him and Samantha get boy and girl moose, Hal & Holly.Marc started getting an allowance for his birthday. He also got some birthday money, so he had $30 to spend. Since we were at the mall we went into the toy store and the Disney store. He went through the dilema of "Do I spend my money now, or save it for something bigger?" It was so cute to see him try to figure out what to do. In the end, he decided to get a small toy at the toy store and a small toy at the Disney store, and he even had a little money let over.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! We had a good time. Marc helped Grandma cook some of the food.Samantha even got to try some baby turkey and sweet potatoes. I'm not sure is she liked them or not, but she ate them.We got a couple of cute pictures pf the kids at the dinner table.
All the turkey, sweet potatoes, and activeness wore Samantha out!
