The fun started when Durant flew in on his birthday. The night he flew in we headed out to see Mockingjay.
Thanksgiving was spent with Brodie's extended family. We are so blessed to have family (from both sides) that live so close. And lucky that Mom Fish is so good at taking selfies!
Overall, Thanksgiving Break was as amazing as the Thanksgiving turkey. Even still, there were a few drawbacks, like getting pink eye (aka wearing glasses for a week). . .
. . . and we have a clogged sink. We were in charge of making mashed potatoes for the big dinner, which was my first attempt at making real mashed potatoes! They turned out fantastic, but all of that washing, peeling, cooking, and mashing left us a real messy kitchen. With no dishwasher and a broken sink, this was the result. . .
To finish off the break we prepped for Christmas!! We weren't planning on buying a tree, but Saturday night we found ourselves driving home with a tree strapped to the top of our car. As we drove home we had to take a quick stop at Fred Meyer because we realized we had no tree stand or lights. And when we got home we realized we had no place to even put the tree! Which is why it ended up in the middle of our living room.
After a Sunday afternoon of lighting, tinseling, and ornamenting the tree was finished! And Brodie took a well deserved nap. Oh, how I love him :)
