Black Friday and Picking Out our Christmas Tree

I did some Black Friday shopping online, and we did go to Belks to get Tim some stuff.  We had our traditional lunch at Frodo's and then enjoyed milkshakes.


We got home and met Noni and Papa Jerry to pick out Christmas trees. Jackson has been begging to get a tree for several days. He and Brooks were so excited. Brooks was running around hugging trees. Jackson picked out the perfect one. When I tried to take his picture, he insisted on singing Jingle Bells. It was so sweet. Brooks helped the guys pick up the branches after they used the chainsaw. He thought that was the best thing.

We got it home and started to decorate. Jackso was really excited about opening the boxes and hanging ornaments. Brooks was not that impressed.he did manage to break a snow globe though. water, glitter, and glass were everywhere! We finished, and the boys pretended to take pictures. Brooks would say, " Mile, Mommy, Mile." Both boys loved all of the lights. I think Jackson thinks our whole house is going to be decorated. I love how excited he is. This Christmas season is going to be magical!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We have had a blessed Thanksgiving. The boys had their feasts at school on Monday. Even though I had to miss it, I am thankful that my mom and Tim could be there.

We took the boys to see The Good Dinosaur yesterday. It is a cute movie.

We spent the afternoon in Greenville for Thanksgiving lunch.   We ate lots of yummy food. My aunt made her yummy sweet potato casserole and even left part of it without nuts for me. The boys had a great time chasing each other around the house and roasting marshmallows. The weather was perfect for being outside. I love that there are so many little boys running around!

We are so blessed to have such wonderful family near and far!

Clemson v. Wake Forest- Military Appreciation

We all had fun at the last Clemson game.  It was Military Appreciation Day, and Jackson went on the field with Papa Jerry!  We also stayed for the entire game and took the boys on the field after the game.  It was packed!

Brooks slept through the first quarter, and Jackson actually decided to sit with us.  They had fun eating their popcorn!
