A Christmasy Kind of Thanksgiving

Home » Family » A Christmasy Kind of Thanksgiving

In: Family on: November 26, 2021

On the years when we have all our kids on Thanksgiving, we also celebrate Christmas. This tradition began because several of us are gift-givers by nature and we didn’t want to miss out on the joy of being with people as they open their presents.

This year, instead of doing Christmas on one of the Thanksgiving weekend days, we actually did Christmas on Thanksgiving morning, before loading up to do Thanksgiving with all of my family at my sister’s house.

So here are a few pictures of our day:

A tea party with real dishes!
A tricycle!
We all did a lot of holding the baby!
Hiding from Sadie the Golden Retriever in her new tent.
The girl cousins
The boy cousins.

So thankful our whole family could be together, both for our little family Christmas and our big, extended family Thanksgiving.
