Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday! As usual, we ate way too much...but how can you turn down such good food? We visited Mike's family in Arkansas for a nice, laid-back vacation. The driving was mainly uneventful, except for on the trip down, Nora exploded in her pants TWICE, leaving her down to her diaper for the last 2 hours of the drive. The kids slept through the night mostly, lots of food and leftovers, the Hogs won, Mike got his fix of Rocky's and McClard's, and Clay shot a huge buck went deer hunting. Who could ask for a better trip?

I've been getting several queries about Christmas gifts for the kids. Please don't think that we expect gifts from everyone for the kids, but I'm going to post some ideas for those who plan to play Santa.

Carter
- Wears a size 2T in pants and shirts.
- Clothing ideas include Razorback apparel, pajamas, sweatpants and hoodies
- Toy ideas, pretty much anything with wheels: trucks, tractors, trains, cars
- Also some art supply stuff would be good for winter indoor play: fingerpaint, coloring books, etc.

Nora
- Currently wearing 12-month clothes, but will likely be in 18-month stuff this spring.
- Clothing ideas: pajamas, knit pants and leggings, hoodies, socks
- My mind is blank for toys for Nora...she's happy playing with Carter's old toys for now.

We're counting down the days to Christmas now! I love this time of year. Hopefully we'll be able to get our Christmas tree next weekend, and maybe we'll hang some lights up outside this year. Another post will be coming soon...I've got some photos to share.
