Thanksgiving weekend

Just thought I would update how our Thanksgiving went. On Thursday we just had a little Thanksgiving with our family and took the kids to the 3D version of Bolt. They liked it but I really think that we could have gone with out paying so much! Jack was in and out of his seat for most of it going from next me down to Grandpa and back. Ethan wouldn't wear his glasses because he hates wearing glasses (we are always telling him to put his glasses back on!). It was a cute movie but we could have gone to the cheap theater to see it!
Friday we just hung out at our house until dinner time when we went to my parents house to see my siblings. It was fun and we got to see Aaron and Jenelle which was nice. I haven't seen them since their wedding in July when Alana was just 5 days old.
Saturday we went and got family pictures! It was fun and frustrating at the same time. The kids did really well for the first half of the session but got sick of having to do things that they just didn't want to. I will put some up after we send out our Christmas cards! They turned out so cute!! We went from there to Grandma and Grandpa Diegel's house for a Thanksgiving dinner there. Jeremiah cooked most of everything and it was so good! We got to see Chris's Aunt and Uncle from Indiana and some of his cousins from there too.
We always put up our Christmas tree on this weekend and when we got ours out Emma made the comment that it was "Sooo Boring". We got a new tree last year when they were on sale and this one has white lights instead of colored ones like out old tree. Oh well she got over it. The kids were really disappointed when we got their trees out and realized that they can't have them in their rooms because there is a warning on them that says they contain lead and you should wash your hands after handling. You know they would be touching those trees like crazy so we ended up getting rid of them. They had a lot of fun decorating the big tree though and we had a fun night!
