Thanksgiving 08

Colin's first Thanksgiving! How fun to have outfits for holiday wear - especially pants that say Gobble Gobble along the butt!

After church, we went to my grandparents for the early shift of Thanksgiving - lots of laughs like usual and fantastic food. Later that day we went down to Jason's sister's house for dessert and more family. Colin did amazingly well with the long day. Other than a few tears, he was near perfect!

Yesterday was shopping extravaganza. Woke up at 3:30 to finish scouting the sale papers and Dana arrived at 4:30 for our annual shop-fest. Ran into my cousin Ashley and Kerry at a few different places and both Dana and I seem to have just about all of our gifts purchased! Also picked up a Wii Fit because it was too tempting! In the afternoon we put up the tree and Xmas decor. Colin was mesmerized by all the lights and Logan loves to lay on the tree skirt (especially in the sweet Santa outfit Jason got him.)

Last night my p's, Dana and Tim and Matt and Rhea (and kids) came for the Christmas Kickoff. Pizza, Games and of course... National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Movie!

This morning Colin got to meet his mom's friend Melissa, who now lives in TN. It is always great to catch up and she got him some cool Tennessee Titan apparel! Thanks Melissa!

Tonight is an engagement party for Rick and Nicole and then tomorrow will be a day of REST - we need it!

However - we also wanted to post what we are thankful for: (Jason to add when he wakes up from his nap.)

Robin: a husband who is caring, loving and kind. He is my friend and companion, I can't imagine the highs or the lows without him. Colin - what an amazing blessing, being a parent is such a great gift and I can't wait to watch him grow up! Our faith - growing up in a Christian home and seeing examples of Christian marriage. And as we go into the holiday season, for the birth of Christ, without whom we would be hopeless. Thanks to family and friends for their love and support - we love you all! Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the Christmas season!
