Thanksgiving and Wiest Family Christmas

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love the feeling of knowing that the holiday season has arrived, the food and the anticipation of Christmas... and the food. We spent Thanksgiving day with my family and had a great time seeing family that we don't get to see very often.
My mom and dad slaved away in the kitchen and helped prepare a wonderful meal- thanks parents!!

My mom has beautiful Xmas decorations up; 3 weeks before Thanksgiving :)

My cousins Caitlin, Daniel and the "black cousins." When my sister, McCall was little, she would ask my mom every year if our "black cousins" were coming to Thanksgiving- haha - to eliminate confusion, their dad is from Pakistan and married my dad's sister. We love that story about my sister b/c she got confused about their ethnicity and couldn't remember their names.. not because it's really innapropriate to call anyone your "black cousins....."

Grandma surprised us this year, inviting Santa to our party- I think the Santa idea was more for Grams than anyone else.... :)

Aubree didn't freak out while Santa held her- she loved his beard.

Saturday, we spent the day with the Wiest's. My mother-in-law and Ellie are going to be in Ohio for the holidays because Miss Jenny is going to have a baby in the next couple weeks (hurray for babies at Christmas haha), so Juli wanted to celebrate Christmas early since we were all in town. We had so much fun opening presents - I got my most favorite thing in the world.. Natural White Cheddar Puff Cheetos. Don't make fun of me, they're freaking amazing. We had more delicious food and had a great time with family.

I think that's what we love most about the holidays.. and Cheetos.
