A Morris Thankgiving

Its been a hectic few weeks with Thanksgiving and being sick. I was in pain for over a week and went to the doctor to find out a cyst had ruptured on my ovary, its very painful and doesn't seem to want to get better but I am trying to rest as much as I can with two kids.
Our Thanksgiving was wonderful! Now that Sam's sisters have both moved to the Pacific Northwest we can once again have holidays as a family. Thanksgiving was hosted by Shannon and Ryan this year and we will be hosting Christmas (my fav). I made my secret enchiladas, a apple pie and a pumpkin roll.

 My brother-in-law Elijah made an amazing turkey with the stuffing rolled into it...AMAZING! We all sat around eating, chatting, drinking; it was a great holiday.

Sam and I went Black Friday shopping together this year, now that we finally have babysitters ;) It was a great reminder of the fact that I'm getting older, we were exhausted by 3 am. We started at Toys-R-Us at 7:30; it opened at 9, then went and stood in line at Target, which was insane! After Target we hit Macys, then went home got some sleep and went to Joann's Fabrics and Walmart. I have four presents left to buy and stocking stuffers but we are pretty much done and its not even December yet..YAY!
I really love decorating for Christmas its my very favorite holiday. I love how excited Ethan is this time of year and his amazement of Santa and everything else this season holds. I just can't wait to cut down our tree next weekend and decorate. Anyone have ideas on how to keep a baby from destroying your Christmas tree?
