The boys had 4 days off this year and we packed in as much holiday fun as possible.
We had a tiny bit of snow on Wednesday evening, November 27th.
The storm was worse up north, and prevented our good friends, the Tovars, from coming to spend Thanksgiving with us. We were all super disappointed, but still have so much to be thankful for.

| After ordering Christmas cards last year, and never getting them in the mail - I wanted to make sure everyone had our new address this year. Cards went out on Wednesday afternoon! |
Thanksgiving Day! I got up early and got the turkey in the oven.
By the time the teenagers rolled out of bed, it was almost ready!
On Friday, we hit the gym to burn off some pumpkin pie and then braved the cold down to National Harbor to see the Christmas tree lighting. The ceremony featured some of the members of the American Military Spouses Choir that was on "America's Got Talent" this summer.

| My biggest blessings! Yes, it's sweet tea and sweet potatoes covered in marshmallows corn, dressing (not stuffing) mashed potatoes too and green fluff! and of course, Pumpkin Pie! |

On Saturday - We cleaned house and got the tree up.
I was more excited than anyone, but the boys worked hard without too much complaint. (mostly because I said they couldn't play X-box until the tree was done)
In the afternoon, we had friends over to watch the Auburn game and took not a single photo!
SORRY!
But it was a game that will go down as one of the greatest ever in college football.
WAR EAGLE!!!
On Sunday we celebrated the first Sunday of Advent with our church, Grace Covenant.
After lunch, we went to see the second Hunger Games movie, Catching Fire.
On the way home, we drove through the Bull Run Park Festival Of Lights.
A great ending to Thanksgiving weekend and the "official" start of the Christmas season.
Merry Christmas everyone!
