Some of our new ornaments.....I had this one last year but I don't remember putting it on the tree.
My Grandma had these when I was growing up and I told my mom that I wanted to start collecting them. I got these last Christmas along with the "Buffalo snow" and I couldn't wait to put them up this year!
Have you decorated yet?!
What are your family traditions this time of year?
After our trip in July, we had decided that going to the Zoo over Thanksgiving break would be perfect. Less of a crowd and much cooler weather! So that's just where we headed on our first day of break!
Since it wasn't so hot, there were a lot more animals out for us to be able to see! This guy was prowling all around.
I don't think this guy was there last time unless we just missed him, but I thought he was absolutely adorable!
He had the same favorites this time as he did last time. The elephants, giraffes and gorillas. This time he also wanted to go visit the fish and crocodiles multiple times. But this time when we went to see the gorillas he would not get down from Jeremy holding him. A little traumatized from last time I think!
Lucas escaped in the aquarium and LOVED it!
We had a great time!
Seth asked every morning for the next 3 days if we were going back to see the elephants, crocodiles, giraffes and gorillas lol
For the first year it was just us. We stayed home all day and it was amazing! We woke up, colored our tablecloth, watched Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, had cookies for breakfast, watched the Macy's parade and had wonderful relaxing family fun!
We had so many leftovers we had to get creative and put some stuffing in our waffle maker!
From my family to yours, we hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving surrounded by those you love!
