Christmas before Thanksgiving?

Well, if you have a very excited 4 year old, you give gifts early. The kids and I traveled to Louisville the Monday before Thanksgiving and stayed for 12 days. We don't get to return for Christmas, so we try to stay for a while and do Christmas later in the visit. Sage was so excited about giving her presents to Nonni that we did it the second day we were there, I believe. We spread the kids' gifts out MUCH later in the trip though. After all, anticipation of presents is fun.

Sage was so excited about this, even though she told my mom about it in October. Mom didn't really know what she was talking about though. It's a candle that we both loved years ago, and then they stopped making them. I found them again at a local festival (Oxfordfest for the natives) and was so excited.This was an ornament with Mom's name on it. Jaggar was so excited. haha.

I made this picture collage with different photos of the kids from the past few months. She loved it. We also gave my dad a 5 day weather forecast reader but I don't have a pic of that.
