Thanksgiving Weekend - Yes, we are behind

So, yes, we are behind in posting about last weekend. Blame it on me being pregnant, nesting, a long list of to do's, mailing out Christmas cards, whatever you want. I just didn't get to it. UNTIL NOW! I figure I have to get it in before Brian does his next Friday Foto!!

We had such a great weekend and there are so many pictures and videos to share so I'll try and pick the best ones for the blog.

Thanksgiving Day... we started the morning with a breakfast at home going through all the ads in the paper....

We then drove up to my oldest sisters house - only 1 hour away - and just stayed the day. It was so nice to have a low key holiday. We ate dinner and then went to try and have a bonfire on my sisters farm. It was so cold none of us lasted too long outside. We did manage a few photos however...

I just love this one of my sisters cracking up. No telling what they were talking about.

Andrea, my niece, is our resident wardrobe queen!

Friday was spent decorating the house and putting up the Christmas lights. We babysat for some friends that night and the kids had so much fun together.

Saturday we put up the Christmas trees and got ready for a family Christmas party we were throwing for some friends.

And then Sunday - we saved the best for last - we took Aiden to the Opryland Hotel to see all the lights and the water show. We had heard there was also a train you could ride in so we were sure Aiden would love that. We were wrong - he was scared of it and did NOT want to ride. But you'll see we definitely had fun.

Fountains are loads of fun when your two!

And I leave you with this last video. Not exactly sure when in the weekend it was captured so I couldn't put it in order. This is a reoccurring event in our house. Aiden loves music and loves to dance. He won't let us sit down - we have to be up dancing with him.

Brian has taught him some hip hop moves - thanks to TobyMac. It sure wears them both out!
