Thanksgiving has come and gone!!! We had a celebration with Chad’s parents on the Sunday before because they were headed up to the cabin in Steamboat on Wednesday.
Wednesday we had planned to have our own Thanksgiving dinner so that we would have leftovers, because the weather in the mountains was very cold and snow, Chad’s parents postponed their take off to the mountains until Thursday, so they joined us for a very nice dinner!I pulled out my grandmother’s china and Chad’s grandparent’s silver for the first time. I felt like a grown-up!!! It was a lovely dinner!
We had set our tree up prior to dinner but still have not done our decorating.
Chad has been allergic to real trees for quite awhile, but last year I had a not so lovely but very dramatic allergic reaction to the Christmas tree. Alas, we have surrendered and we bought a very beautiful pre-lit tree from a couple on Craig’s list. We got a steal!!! |

On Thanksgiving day Carter and I went up to Woodland Park to have dinner with Chad and the rest of the ambulance crew. both ambulances got calls right as we got there, but we hung around and helped finish dinner and had a scrumptious feast fixed by Jess!!!
Today Carter and I decided to watch Elf and White Christmas and make our own White Christmas. We have never made snowflakes, but decided it would be fun! After all, Elf knocks it out in a matter of minutes with scissors and paper flying!

It is not as easy as it looks, but with a little Google help for the proper techniche of folding the paper, we ended up with some lovely snowflakes!
Tomorrow, Sunday will be our “decorating day” as we will all be home and it will once again look like Christmas exploded in our home!!!
I love the season and celebration of Christmas!!!
