It's Beginning to Feel Like...Christmas Came!

The extended Hartings family gathered early to celebrate Christmas this year. With bellies full of turkey, the guys went out in the freezing cold to hang lights while the ladies watched Lifetime holiday movies and helped the kids hang ornaments on the tree. Later, the pile of presents under the tree put Santa to shame. There were plenty of "oohs" and "aahs" as the kids opened toys related to all their favorite shows and movies--Star Wars, Brave and Doc McStuffins. Unfortunately, the line that will live on was uttered by Kaitlyn two minutes into opening: "I finally got a present I really like!" Was it doctor Barbie or her suede boots? I can't recall, but I know that her sour expression didn't last long in the face of our family's generosity! Thank you, thank you, thank you for a fabulously fun celebration.

Baby Molly!

The kids were beyond excited about seeing little Molly Grace again over Thanksgiving. Kaitlyn woke up every morning asking to hold her, patiently waiting her turn for smiles and snuggles. And, wow, is Molly smiley! The kids loved her smiles so much that they danced around making silly faces, trying to get her to smile even bigger. What a sweetie!

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble

In our family, Thanksgiving is all about being thankful for the many blessings we have, pacing ourselves to fully appreciate this fabulous feast day...and making super cool turkey hats!

Happy Thanksgiving! We are so grateful for our family and friends, who brighten our lives every day.
