We started decorating before Thanksgiving But shhhhh don't tell anyone. My sister told me I wasn't allowed to do Christmasy things before Thanksgiving. Oops.
The Saturday morning before Thanksgiving Chris cooked his trial brine(d) turkey. It turned out pretty good but we learned to brine it for a little less time. The turkey he cooked for Thanksgiving was perfect!
Christmas this year from my parents was actually our trip to Disneyland but I got another present... their piano. I am so excited to have a piano in my home. I feel like it's been forever since I've really been able to play. It is a little sad though knowing the piano isn't at my parents anymore... it was just a part of their home so it's weird that it's not there anymore.
Saturday night (before Thanksgiving) we got out the Christmas tree. We wanted to put it up when we had Brooklyn. She always loves to help decorate the tree. Gavin was more interested in the stocking and trying to put them on his feet. Christmas will be lots of fun this year.
Sunday was Pie night. Gavin fell asleep in the car of course. We had so much fun. I made the pie and soup when we got home from Church and I totally forgot that the pie has to cook for an hour and fifteen minutes.... silly me. Luckily we were able to cook the pie at Mimi and Grandpa's house when we got there. I used the leftover pie dough from when I made chicken pot pies a couple weeks ago. I almost felt like I was cheating not making the dough that day. It definitely didn't look as pretty but if everyone was telling the truth they said it still tasted good which is really the only thing that matters.

| We moved Gavin to a toddler bed and apparently sleeping on our floor is better then sleeping in the toddler bed. |
