Thanksmas 2012

My family celebrates Thanksgiving and Christmas on the same day. We have been calling this day Thanksmas for several years now. My sister and her family travel to our house from Austin, TX and my parents travel from Louisburg, Kansas to meet at my house for a yummy meal and Christmas presents. It is great to have one Christmas celebration over before December. Also, the kids get new toys and clothes to play with and they have a month with these new things before they get more toys and clothes at the December Christmas celebrations.

After our meal Alea went into her room and changed into the angel costume she had made. Alea is very serious about her holidays and loves to decorate and dress up.

Alea and Reed

My little angel.

My sister had this sign made for Alea. It describes her perfectly.

Love!

Reed is hugging Alea...much to her chagrin.

My dad made Alea this tick-tack-toe board. 

We had one like this when we were kids.

I got Reed this Obi-Wan Kenobi outfit for Thanksmas.

It fits him perfectly and he has worn it all afternoon.

 Obi-Wan is coloring in one of his coloring books.

How cute is he!?
