Got home and decorated the tree. Ethan did as much as he could to what in his mind was heelping. Who knew a piece of cardboard could be so much fun?So we decorated ,Ethan undecorated, decorated again, and the cycle goes on and on. The ornaments keep getting put up higher and higher, lights have had to be restrung, and a few have been broken, or found anywhere in the house except on the tree. Needless to say he hasn't lost interest in the tree yet. We're taking bets on how long until he pulls it down.

Oh Christmas Tree

We went to Target the week after Thanksgiving to get our Christmas tree. Yes we are of the few very rare, here we've found, who still go for the real deal. We wouldn't want daddy to miss out on cutting open, shaking out, and spinning around half the trees in the lot for us! We also always each pick out one new ornament for the year. Elizabeth got a silver reindeer, Ethan got a lightening mcqueen ball, mommy got colored sparklers, and daddy has to go to the sportmans store to find his. Just something fun we do. This year it was a little more difficult to focus on the tree while we chased runaway Ethan at the same time.

Saturday morning we got up and headed out to ride the quads. I think this was andrew's favorite part of the weekend. There were pretty high winds so Julie Meghan and Dad stayed home with the babies. The rest of us headed out. For most of us it was our first time. As you saw Jenna and JoAnna chose to warm up on Elizabeths small quad. But they did get on and ride the big one's as well. Sierra loved it, I think Terry could have ridden forever, Jake had fun, Jess is hooked, Ethan was terrified, and Brandon, well I think he had fun until he rolled with th quad. Luckily he wasn't hurt, just cut. We might let him on again! Hee Hee

Had so much fun at Thanksgiving dinner. Most of Jess' family and all the Johnson's were at our house for dinner. Everyone helped contribute to the menu. We had a tonof food, danced, ate , ate some more, and just hunf out. We switched furniture from room to room downstairs to allow room for us all to sit and eat together. It was funny to see us try to sit and eat, and struggle with all the kids at the same time. Hopefully by next year they'll all be out of highchairs and booster seats, and onto an official kiddy table. Wow when did I get old enough to have one of those in our house!

Aunty Meghan was all over the crafts for the weekend.She helped the girls make all the name place cards for thanksgiving as well. So cute.
