Thanksgiving and PRODUCTIVITY

This Thanksgiving was great! Jon was fortunate to have Friday off as well, so we had a nice long weekend. We had Thanksgiving dinner with the Beaumont Walters and then had enough leftovers to have them again Saturday evening while watching the BYU game. Thursday night/technically Friday morning Jon and I did our first ever Black Friday shopping trip...not sure we will do it again. But it was a fun experience (Jon would not call if fun....). Then the real Friday morning we went to Hobby Lobby to get a Christmas tree! Finally since we have a house we have room for a decent sized tree. We put up all our Christmas decor. I just love it! Then Saturday morning Jon and Kevin organized the garage and built shelves. They also removed the floor and put down new flooring for our shed. Overall it was a productive weekend! Then Sunday I had to give a talk at church, thankfully that's over! Here is the photo evidence:

Our tree! I just love our ornaments! And we only decorated the top portion to help keep Kate less interested...so far so good. Not the same story with the garland though...

Our garlands with ornaments and our wreath...it doesn't fit on the outside of the door because of the storm door....so this will have to do!

Jon's shelves all along one side of the garage. Now we can store anything we want out there and still park 2 cars!

Bring on December. We have something going on every weekend for December....the month is going to FLY by! This weekend I have girls camp, then next weekend is Kate's birthday and our niece's birthday party and ward Christmas party and Brother in law's birthday party, then the weekend after that Kate and I fly to Ohio! Anyone have any suggestions of things to entertain a 1 year old on a 4 hour plane ride?? I'm a little scared to death about the flight! She won't sit in one place at church, let alone a plane ride!

PS- Kate learned how to give kisses today! It is the sweetest! Be ready mom...I'll have her ready to shower you with kisses!
