We had a great group of friends and family over for Thanksgiving. Aunt Stephanie let the girls open their Christmas gifts early, since she will not be here at Christmas. One of their gifts was a pair of "attitude" glasses. Apparently, they are all the rage. Only my fashion forward sister would know this. We teased Kendall that she looked like Sally Jesse Raphael. We had to show her pictures to substantiate our comments. They have worn the glasses almost every day.
We set up two tables for the adults to sit at.
Kendall sneaking a few M&M's off the dessert table. Hard to believe this crew went through two whole bags of those tasty treats in addition to all of the other goodies.

And, the crazy kiddos.

My mom stayed with us the week before and did almost all of the prep work. It seemed that she worked tirelessly making pies, cinnamon rolls, dinner rolls, pumpkin bread and much more. Thanksgiving would not have been the same without her!
It was so good to be surrounded by the people we love! The guys worked around the yard and helped decorate for Christmas. Kevin started chemotherapy the day after Thanksgiving. Round 1...not so good. A lot of learning's! It will go better the next time. Let's just hope I never run into the on-call doctor that we had to deal with. I will give him three snaps in Z formation with a few head spins and bulging eyeballs. The wrath of Heather will come down on him. That is a story in and of itself that if I thought I could tell it without a whole lot of color I might. However, I know my limits and will leave it at that. We had at least 4 phone calls at the beginning of the week apologizing for that knuckleheads actions and the needless suffering that Kevin had to experience this first go around.
