This year thanks to Neil's cousin Jenn and facebook, I woke up one morning to the Christmas tree being up, 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. Neil had let me sleep in and he put up the tree while watching the kids. Clearly I should sleep in more often. Then as a family we decorated it and Macy got to put the star on top. Next year we are going to have to figure out some compromise because Tyler was trying to climb my legs to help with the star.
To get into the Christmas spirit we went to the Raleigh Christmas Parade. Tyler had fun, but all Macy cared about was going out to lunch with Adam & Katie.
For Thanksgiving this year Patti & Stig (aka YaYa & Grampie) came down to our house. We had a traditional Thanksgiving with all the fixings. I was quite successful at not setting off the fire alarm while browning the Turkey, instead I set the marshmallows that topped the mashed sweet potatoes on fire. It was awesome. Thankfully, I had spare marshmellows and we saved the dish.
On Friday morning after Thanksgiving, we had our first Christmas celebration with Yaya and Grampie. The kids could not have been more excited about their presents. Grampie couldn't wait until Friday though, so their big present was recieved on Thursday. It was a Ford F150 truck that Tyler wasted no time getting into and learning to drive. We also went to see the Lights of the Neuse and Lake Myra Light Show, so it was a perfect week to really get into the holiday spirit. By the time we got home Macy chaimed she was hungry, but the instant we set her at the table with food, she fell asleep.
