We had such a wonderful weekend for Thanksgiving. We had Thanksgiving dinner with my family the weekend before so we were able to spend Thanksgiving day with Mike's extended family in Castle Rock. It was good to be able to do something special with both sides.
Marci had to work on Thanksgiving day so we had Thanksgiving the Sunday prior. It was the first major holiday Marci and Todd hosted in their new home and they did awesome. We had the most delicious gluten-free meal ever. Their house is so cozy and warm.
Mike was off on Wednesday before Thanksgiving and we did some running around town, Santa shopping and stuff. I know he loved having an extra day off, while Caid and I went to work. It meant sleeping in finally.
On Thursday, we got up and decided we would put up the Christmas tree. Putting it up is not difficult. It is the lights that are difficult. It is prelit but you have to connect everything just perfectly. Ughhh!!! My sweet husband was so patient as he played the role of Clark Griswold in trying to sort out the light mess. Yay Mike! We then headed up to Castle Rock to spend Thanksgiving with the Smiths. Mike's Grandma and Aunt Meg made the trek out from California. It was so fun to see everyone.
The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing, watching movies, cleaning, putting up decorations, organizing, wrapping presents and just being home. It was awesome!!!
Mike did buy Caid a choo-choo this weekend and they set it up under the tree. He loves it!!!! When you turn it on, he starts up with weeeeeeee weeeeeee. Tucker just wants to attack/nip at the train as it goes by...it is too funny!
Here are some pictures as I know it has been awhile!
