Skala Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving with the Skala clan on Sunday. It just so happened to be the Packer/Viking game, so it seemed appropriate that we get together to eat turkey and watch football. To get ready, Kelsey and I made desserts the day before. Kelsey was all about wanting to help. She is Miss Independent right now and wanted to crack the eggs herself, as well as dump in all the ingredients. I was actually surprised at how long it kept her attention. I think her favorite part was helping me mix it all.


Sunday came around and we started the day with church.

Next we headed to Dave and Vickie's. What a feast they put on! It was delicious! Good thing I wore sweatpants :)


After everyone stuffed their faces we all watched as the Packers royally beat the Vikings. It was a proud day to wear green and gold!

That night we came home and put our Christmas tree up. I know, I know, it seems early. But, technically Christmas is only four weeks away, so I figure we might as well get as much use out of it as we can. Kelsey was way more into it this year than last. She didn't care too much with putting the actual tree up, but really liked putting on the ornaments.

She also got her own tree in her room this year and was happy to decorate what she would say "my owwwwnnnnn kiss-muss tree."


And while I am talking of Christmas decorations, I need to give a big THANK YOU to my hubby for putting Christmas lights on the roof this year! What a guy :) He spent all Saturday afternoon putting lights up on the house. I love it!
Let the holiday season begin!
