Thanksgiving

We were sad to lose my Grandpa a week before Thanksgiving. We traveled to Indiana for the services, and we stayed through the holiday. We had originally planned on hosting Thanksgiving in North Carolina and combining the meal with a birthday celebration for Elaina. It turned out that Elaina got to share her cousin Addison's second birthday party at Grammy's house. The girls were so cute!
On Thanksgiving, we celebrated with my mom's extended family. At some point, Elaina discovered Grammy's glasses.
We couldn't resist the urge for a sibling photo op. Jordan's height really is ridiculous.
When we got home, Elaina decided she wanted to help me unpack. I tried to tell her that we would just be packing up again in a few weeks for Christmas, but she didn't listen!

Tonight, Matt is taking law school final number 2 of 3 for the semester. His last test is tomorrow morning, and he has promised that we can decorate the Christmas tree tomorrow evening. Elaina has been so funny with the decorations. She's allowed to touch if she is "gentle" and she says "pwetty" (pretty). I hope you are enjoying the holiday season!

Good luck Matt. I hope you have a Merry Christmas. Great Grandma and Grandpa are excited to be spending Christmas with the little ones (Elaina and Jacoby)this year.

I remember Jordan as a little kid at slumber parties at your house and such. When the heck did he get so tall?!
