The Whitehead (aka Griswald) Family Christmas Tree!!!

Today we went to pick our Christmas tree. This is the first time we have decided to get a real tree and so far it is awesome. We love the smell and the look of the tree. Brooklyn was so excited to pick out her very one tree!! =) Her smile makes it all worth it!!!

Our Beautiful Christmas Tree

Of Course, we have to put the lights on and decorate the tree, but I just the tree!!!

Thanksgiving Up North!!!

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving with Jason's family!!

We went up North to Jeri and Bob's (Jason's mom and step dad) house and had a great time. It was so relaxing that we hated to leave and make the 3 hour drive back home, but Brooklyn had to get home to spend some time with Kobe, Grandpa and Grandma. Of course, Jason and I went shopping on Black Friday and got some amazing deals and got pretty much everything we wanted to get. =)

Jason's Mom's house is amazing. They have done such great thing to that old farm house. My pictures of the house do not do it justice, but trust me it is beautiful. It the summer the house is blooming with flowers, flowers and more flowers. Just wonderful!!! The kids love to play in the barns and it makes for wonderful black and white photos in the summer!!!

Just one of Jeri's CHRISTmas trees.

Brooklyn's Harvest Party at School.

We had a great time at Brooklyn's Harvest party.
Listening to a story about Thanksgiving.

They had such cute craft ideas. This one Brooklyn is making a turkey.

The finished project!!

In this picture it is hard to tell how cute it is, but it really was a cute idea!!!

This craft was Brooklyn's favorite because it is all made of sweets. Oreos, candy corn, chocolate frosting, whoppers and little red hots.

The finished craft.....very cute candy turkey!!!

To finish the party one of the parents brought in a bounce house and the kids LOVED it.......I think this was the kids favorite part of the party!!!

I have enjoyed not working as much this month so I can enjoy the fun things at Brooklyn school and I think she has enjoyed me being there as well. =)
