Turkey Day and Trimming the Tree

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, celebrating with the whole Bishop family. It was great to see everyone and have some cousin time for play. Drake is quite a bit younger than the rest of his cousins, but he just jumped right in and played. It was a great family weekend if visiting and play. Evie was also able to finally meet her two boy cousins and her aunt and uncle.

Friday we went to get our Christmas tree at the "farm tree", as Drake calls it. We picked out a nice tree and spent this morning decorating. Drake did a great job of clumping the ornaments in the lower portion of the tree.

We have also given in and are using the Elf this year. It was given to us before Drake's first Christmas by David's sister because they never used it. I knew he would not understand it for the first two years and still this year, I'm not entirely sure he will get it. We have decided to use it to try to get rid of the beloved baa (pacifier). He was doing great without baa until Evie started using one and he decided he needed his back. Drake's elf, Eckleton, is going to report back to Santa on his usage of baa and if he does well, he will get an extra special gift from Santa. Nighttime sleep and nap one without baa are gong well...
