Andrew and I have been married 5 1/2 years and this is our very first Christmas Tree! I thought I would celebrate by blogging this momentous occasion. It all started off by me saying, "I think we could get a small tree to fit in the corner." When all was said and done we ended up with this 7 1/2 foot beast, but I thought it turned out pretty good considering our budget.
We had a great Thanksgiving weekend. We did Thanksgiving dinner with a few other families who decided not to brave the holiday traffic to do Thanksgiving with their families, and had a lot of fun!
This was the kids table. All the kids had a blast. There was a little playground right outside that was all fenced in so we were able to send them out to play and not have to worry about them. Is that what it would be like to have a fenced in yard? Ahh, how nice that would be?
Later that weekend we did a gingerbread house with the boys.
Their job was to put the candy on the gingerbread house and they did a great job. They also did a great job eating it. Andrew thought it tasted like it had been doused in lighter fluid (it was a store bought kit and tasted very chemically-is that a word?) but I guess the kids liked it because they have already eaten half of it.
I had to put in this cute picture of Andrew reading 'The Cat in the Hat' to the boys on Thanksgiving night.
And the most exciting news of all is that Parker is potty trained! It's been about a month now and we have not had any accidents in about 3 weeks! We are so very happy that he is potty trained, having 2 kids in diapers is no fun.

I like your tree. Andrew is probably too young to remember the huge tree that Verlin picked for us one year. We were living in Spanish Fork. It was so big we had to take out the sliding door and bring it in the patio doors. He cut most of the back branches off and put it against a wall and it still reached nearly all the way across the room.
I am glad you had a nice Thanksgiving. I missed seeing you, though.
Your tree turned out very cute. I've made one of those store gingerbread kits before, but I never ate it. I can imagine it tasting delicious :)
