Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and the Christmas tree Oh MY!!!

So we had a GREAT week! Thanksgiving was hard because Scott had to go to work at 1:30 so Dinner started at 12:15. It worked out just great and we are still enjoying the fruits/veggies of our labors.
yes that is a salt shaker. Luckily it is sea salt and you have to grind it to get it out.
Paul loved the food, he eats more than Katie at every meal...hence the reason why he is so much bigger than she ever was!
The table with about 3/4 of the food on it.
Here is my attempt at an apple pie. I have yet to get one right. This time I forgot to put the flour in the apple mixture so instead of gooey apples they were just juicy apples. Oh well, next time!
You have to have a picture of Pumpkin pie! This is one of two that was made. LOVE IT!


Before continuing on to the next section. I have to insert that I ventured out at 4:30 in the morning on Black Friday and it was once again totally worth it. For the last two years I have gone and everything I have bought was at least half off! So the kids were able to get a little more than expected and the Christmas shopping is pretty much done. And I was back in bed by 5:40...No one ever missed me.
This is Paul's Christmas Tree Face. He will stare and screech like it is the greatest thing in the world.
Scott's job every year is the star because he doesn't like to join in on the festivities.
So thanks for being a good sport hun!
The finished product.
Where you can find Katie most of the time now. She says "whoa mom, so pretty Christmas tree!"

So a peek of what is to come. We went to the holiday parade today because Scott was in it for work and we got a couple of good pictures but that is a story for another day.
