weekend-ed

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. This was the best family weekend we've had in a long time. So fun and festive! Here's a smidge of what we were up to...

We watched and enjoyed the thanksgiving day parade. Especially this float made by none other than Mr. Tim Burton! I thought it was a fantastic addition to this year's parade. And of course, there was plenty of...

There was quite a day of black Friday shopping (we got ALL of our Christmas shopping finished!) And to help welcome the Christmas season, we bought our first tree as a family! In years past we had always been at my family's for 2 weeks or so, so we never had a tree.

We took our little tree home and lit that baby up! There are few things in this world I love more than a simple tree with only white lights. I know most like to put beautiful ornaments etc. on their trees, but we just love our white lights :) Elliott is so excited about the tree. His exact words when he first saw it lit up were "It's perfect daddy!" I mean, it doesn't get much better than that.
