Thanksgiving Break Part 2

It was my intention to get part 2 done right after part 1, but you know how that goes! One of my dearest friends came into town on Thursday, and my computer barely was opened all weekend!

Okay, back to Thanksgiving break: We went to the beach to walk off a few calories and take in some fresh air on Thanksgiving Day. You could totally tell we are locals now; while others were wearing shorts and bathing suits, there's me in my sweater and jeans. It was in the 60's!



A little beach soccer.... My son is like a little oven. As soon as he gets a little hot, off comes the shirt!


A nice late November sunset....


We were a bit excited about the thought of putting lights on our palm trees. I think the novelty of the idea wore off during the actual event of doing it. Not easy... but it turned out pretty!


Our little fir tree... it smells so good!

Not many other decorations this year... I got rid of most of them when we moved, and I am slowly acquiring new ones. I bought a very cute wooden angel made by a local folk artist. And a little Jesse tree for the kids to put ornaments on as we do our advent devotions.

Hope you had fun decorating your house for Christmas!
