Gobble, gobble

I absolutely love Thanksgiving! Food, friends, football, more food, pie for breakfast!! What else could you want? We went to Michigan this year to visit my brother and his family. We had such a great time! Their kids are so cute, and they're at the age that they just love all the festivities!

We went and got hot, fresh pumpkin donuts and a Christmas tree. The kids loved decorating it!

We went to Frankenmuth, MI while we were there. It's the home of the WORLD'S largest Christmas store, Bronner's. I'm not one that just loves shopping, but this store was so fun! They had thousands and thousands of ornaments, decorations, books, treats, lights, trees....everything Christmas! We saw Santa while we were there--Everett's first time telling him what he wants.

Doesn't Everett make the cutest snowman?

Just loungin' around the house reading books, playing games, and enjoying family!
What a great vacation!!
