Thanks Christmas Gingerbread Birthday...

 Yep you heard it right!...this post is going to cover Thanksgiving, Christmas Tree cutting, Gingerbread House making, and Caden's 7th B-day!!

1st we will start with Thanksgiving...We decided to stay put this year for Thanksgiving since it was our 1st one without my Dad and we felt we should spend that time with my mom.  We had lots of fun playing with cousins and doing all of the fun filled family traditions!!

 Morgon and Macie...best cousins!

 Dad & Maron just chillaxin!

 Brylee, Morgon, Tessa, Macie, Amelia, & Porter


One of my mom's many traditions is Gingerbread houses and sugar cookies with the grandkids.  I'm not going to lie...it's not my most favorite of all traditions but my kids sure do love it!!

 Maryssa & I...love this girl!

 Brylee, Cynthia, and Macie working on their houses

 Tara and Amanda building the houses

My kiddos with their houses...I love how each one is so different, just like them:)

Now...One of my most Favorite traditions is getting our Christmas tree!!  My family started this tradition LONG before I was born(I know, I know...we aren't the ONLY family that does this).  It was hard going without my Dad this year, but we all felt him with us!!  

 Brandon cutting the tree down...can I say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE my tree this year??

 Tara & Mom

 Ron & Melz Fam...Madden, Ron, Kolton, Melz, Ryker, Dave, Amanda, Emma, Maryssa, Kim, Rory, and Trey

While out getting trees JT decided to propose to his sweet little girlie friend, Lexi!  Jami and I went out and set it up where we tied this sign and the ring to a tree.  Then JT took Lexi for a 4-wheeler ride and just happened to run into it:)

 They are super cute...and we are SUPER excited to have Lexi join our family!

We also celebrated Caden's 7th Birthday Thanksgiving weekend.  Can hardly believe this little guy is 7 already!!  He is a sweet boy and we are so grateful that Heavenly Father sent him to our family!!
We love you Caden!
