Mini Holiday Update

This is the only record I have of Thanksgiving. And I would have NO record if I hadn't stolen these pictures off Grammy's phone. 



Good job Grammy for capturing at least one photo of Cora on her first Thanksgiving!

We have started getting Christmas up, but it's proving to be a slow process this year. 
Normally I'm DONE decorating and shopping and have  most of my wrapping done. 
This year, I'm half way on decorations, we have no tree yet, still have shopping to do and haven't wrapped a thing.
 These two are the reasons I give myself for being behind on my schedule.




We took an early birthday present over to GG Faye to help her celebrate her 99th birthday!
We got to hang out and have fun and sang a few Christmas carols with a cozy fire. 


Happy Birthday GG Faye. We love you!!!


 You know how I said we still had no tree? We don't. 
But that doesn't mean we haven't tried. 

Effort 1: Parked, was way to busy and expensive. We left.
Effort 2: Provided tree hunting pics, but the trees were less than desirable. We left.
 Effort 3: A tree from Fred Meyer's costs HOW MUCH??? We left there too.
 Effort 4: Pull into a tree lot. We didn't even get out of the car when we saw the prices.
 Effort 5: Will take place some time in the future. We hope to leave with a tree.
Our "Christmas treating" (per Jack) saga of 2016 is to be continued...

 Here we have Jack reading his favorite bedtime story to Cora.

Mama tried oat cereal with Cora for the first time.
 You sure this is a good idea mama?

 All right, I'll give it a try.

 Why'd you think this was a good idea?

 Hmm, I'm less than impressed.


 Thanks to Grammy for taking the kiddlets to go see Santa. I knew she could get a good picture out of them!
