Last week Grandpa and Karma came to visit for the week. It was fun because Shella May had never met them. Now she has met all her grandparents. It was extra special because the kids only had two days of school last week, so we got to spend lots of time with them. We played a lot of card games, watched movies and just had fun hanging out.
For her first Thanksgiving we had Ryan's dad and wife and his brother and family over. We had a traditional meal with all the fixings. Shella May's favorite food was the turkey and she disliked the pumpkin pie. She did like the other pies though. Overall she said it was an okay holiday, but she liked her school version better. On Tuesday they had a feast of popcorn and juice to celebrate the holiday and she loved that.
On Friday we bought and decorated our Christmas tree. She thought it was a lot of fun to go through all the crates and find the ornaments she wanted to hang up. We have a tradition of buying the kids a new ornament every year, so we looked at the Hallmark book on line. I'll take them later to pick them out. Shella May thought it was funny that most of our ornaments are Star Wars theme and I'm glad that she will add a little variety to our tree.
Hopefully with Shella May's birthday approaching and all the fun Christmas events coming up I will be blogging more.

Jay-R loved the turkey, too, and disliked pumpkin pie, too! Christmas will be so much fun this year! I love the smile on her face as she is decorating!
I just love this time of year. I love blasting the christmas tunes and decorating the house. Shella May will have so much fun with all these new traditions. Have you tried baking christmas cookies with her yet. She'll love that I'm sure!
Much like Shella May, I've never tried pumpkin pie. I'm glad that she enjoyed her first Thanksgiving. When is her birthday?
We'll have to get you a pumpkin pie sometime Renee. Her birthday is Dec. 9th and we are having a few friends over for her party next Sunday.
