O Christmas Tree

We decorated our family Christmas tree last night. It wasn't the same without the whole family there, but it was fun none the less. We were being rather goofy, and some of the pictures didn't turn out. Oh well here are some anyways. LOVE YOU ALL!!

Oh Justin :)


Oh Samm the ham

Thanksgiving

So it's a little late but I do want to tell you a little about Thanksgiving. It was actually quite fun. First we went to a movie (a Leaming tradition for as long as I can remember) the movie we saw was bolt. It was super cute and an all around great movie.



Then we came home and finished making dinner. This year we had about 24 people over and we were planning on 28 so we had to make large amounts of everything. So we prepared a lot of it the day before. That was probably a fantastic idea because it would have taken too much time and oven space if we didn't do it that way. Any who this year Sarah and I really tried to contribute, I think next year we'll do it at one or our houses because it's about time. By the time it was all said and done we had a fantastic spread. Ok so now you need a little more info we had so many people this year because Dad invited the Manilians over some of them this was their first Thanksgiving. We also had my Uncle Jeff and his family, plus our whole fam damly and Sarah's in laws Mel and Sharon. And when we were done with dinner Eli was blessed in my parents home. It was a beautiful blessing and very sweet. Unfortunately we didn't take a whole bunch of pictures but we did take some family ones so here you go :) LOVE YOU ALL!!
