Today once again we gave thanks for the many blessings in our lives. We were small in numbers but had a great Thanksgiving. JR had to work today, like almost every Thanksgiving of our married life, and he was dearly missed. We will have take two for him tomorrow:) Nicki and Matteson are in NY and Mama and Papa went to NC. So, me and the boys were joined by Nana, Pop Pop, Grandma and Poppa Rison. Nicki… Ryan asked earlier, “Why does Ninny have to go to New York all the time?” I think he misses you:) He certainly doesn’t get the fact that you have family there:) The food was delicious and after a short rest we took the boys to a movie. We did the same last year, I am not sure if this is turning into a tradition or not?? We saw Tangled and it was pretty cute. Ryan has turned his Elmo blanket rock star hair into long blonde Rapunzel hair!!
Yesterday we spent the day getting out Christmas decorations and JR hung the first of the outside lights. I guess we will finish out there tomorrow, it is quite a project. The inside decorations are pretty much finished except JR’s fire dept tree and my buffet display. The boys decorated their tree all by themselves and did a great job. My eye only twitched a few times when they got 2 ornaments on the same branch. For those of you who know me I am a Nazi about my tree. I will spend every day until Christmas moving an ornament here and there. Every time I look at it I see something I need to adjust to make it just so. For now it is just perfect and I added some new things this year.
New this year…

Grinch ornaments from National Harbor
Cracker Barrel ornament, I love how big it is!
Ornament garland that I LOVE! The best part is I bought it after Christmas last year so when I unpacked it, I was surprised!! I had forgotten all about it:)
My new tree topper, a snowman top hat!!
I bought this on the way to Disney world at Cracker Barrel. JR thought it was crazy that I would buy a Christmas decoration in the 98 degree weather of August but I couldn’t resist!!

It looks great! Ricky worked yesterday too which I think he has worked all but 1 Thanksgiving in the almost 7 years we have been married. He's worked every Mother's Day and lots of others. Frustrating sometimes! :)
Your tree is beautiful!! I'm sorry JR couldn't be with you, but it looks like you all made the best of it.
Aw, I'm glad you guys had a good day, we missed you all too!! Oh, and that ornament garland? Why did you forget to pick up an extra one for your sister?? I mean come on...that would be PERFECT on my tree !:) See you guys Sunday!
Your tree looks like it should be in a department store!
