The big kids decide to decorate outside….I am watching to see if a fight will ensue.
I got out to help…thankfully there are no pictures of me standing and precariously reaching out to throw the lights over the tree….
They decide to to do the bushes instead… (I was still voting for throwing them over the tree from the ladder. I think they were worried for my safety.)
Went inside and made the best Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake. Yea..it was good.
Tell me..does your kitchen look like this when you are done?
I am ashamed to say I have no pictures of Thanksgiving Day. Horrible, I know. I was busy.
Friday, we went to pick out our tree. This year the two big kids got the final say. And…as we left and I told Ab to get his big coat , we discovered he had no big coat. So he is wearing big brothers…just a tad too big! :) Don’t worry..he has one now.
After looking through the field…they pick one already cut.

Tree is now decorated and the boys were lounging watching the Va Tech / UVA game. I looked in and saw this…
love it.
And now…
