Gobble Gobble

How is it already after Thanksgiving?! My mom and step-dad were here for the holiday (Grandma and Pop), and we had a delicious feast followed by a couple of days in Branson - shopping and such. Sydney was a doll the whole time and it was obvious she loved having them here. There were many comments about kidnapping her and taking her back to Virginia.  :-)  It wasn't as hard saying goodbye this time because my mom will be back in two short months to meet baby Collin!

 

 Sydney brought home this adorable project last week. They are always doing the cutest things in her class.

We got home Saturday evening and decorated for Christmas! In my opinion, there are few things better than relaxing in the evening with the Christmas tree lighting the house. And today I made good progress wrapping gifts. Sydney had fun decorating, too, and she loved inspecting each and every ornament as we unpacked them. :)

 

This will be our last Christmas as a family of three, and it's hard to even imagine what next year will be like at this time! Here's one final pic from my phone of Grandma and Sydney on the playground near our condo in Branson. Not great photo quality, but a sweet moment.
