I apologize for our absence the last few weeks. There are no excuses, but we really have had a lot going on. Since we didn't post about Thanksgiving I wanted to tell you all (whoever reads this, that is) that we had a great time. Jay had to work, but was home in time to have dinner with us at 6:00pm. Since we don't have any family in town, (besides Stacia of course) we decided to have Thanksgiving with our neighbors. They have a son who is about 6 months older than Tristan and they always have a good time. (Though Tristan is becoming a bit of a bully.. I digress) Sandra and I pulled out all the stops and cooked enough food for at least 10 more people! It turned out really great.
Jay and I have been doing a little redecorating at the house since the robbery (Thanks to home owners insurance!). It is finally starting to really look good! We decided yesterday to pick up a few more things that we needed, and planned go to the local Christmas Tree farm to pick out a tree. Well, some things don't turn out like you planned. Our errands took longer than expected, and the farm was going to close in 30 minutes. So, we decided to just check out the trees at Walmart. I know, I know, it isn't quite the experience I was hoping for. But, we got a great tree for $30! What a deal! Tristan helped me decorate it and I must say he did a great job! It was fun seeing him actually start to understand what was going on. He loved helping. **On a side note, Jay and I have been picking up gifts for the kids here and there wherever we go. Most of the time the kids are with us but I never thought they really understood they were gifts for Christmas. That is, until prayer time before bed... Tristan likes to run through his whole day in his prayers. Last night he started thanking God for playdoh, carmine (remote control cars, he calls them Carmine from Little Einsteins), Manny (Handy Manny) and a puppy. I guess he understand more than we think! He named most of his gifts, except the puppy.. that will just have to stay a prayer!**
Merry Christmas everyone! Stay tuned, we are putting a gingerbread house together tonight and I will post pictures after. It is sure to be a fun, and messy experience!
