Thanksgiving

We had a very nice Thanksgiving this year. We celebrated on Thanksgiving day with Elizabeth's family up in Noblesville at her brother Craig's home. On Friday, we visited with my dad's side of the family in Shelbyville. On Sunday, we visited with my mom's side of the family in Shelbyville after church. That's a lot of Thanksgiving! :)

We also used the holiday break to get Christmas decorations up. We decided to buy a new Christmas tree this year. We looked around last year after Christmas thinking that we'd be able to get a good deal, but it was impossible to find any nice ones after the holiday. This year we just broke down and bought one. It was on sale, but still! It is a "Hadley Pine" pre-lit tree from Sears with 800 clear lights. It's very pretty!


The other really special Christmas decoration that we have is our Nativity set. We have collected the pieces as gifts from Elizabeth's parents over the last several years. They are from a store in Kokomo called The Op Shop. They make and sell opalescent glass for stained glass work. Not only is the set beautiful, but it's fun that it comes from Elizabeth's hometown! Check it out.

We captured this photo up in Noblesville, a northern suburb of Indianapolis. Yes, that is what it looks like under those Christmas decorations!
