Christmas Already!!

After our Thanksgiving dinner at the Marriot with DMU (it actually didn't taste too bad and I didn't have all that cooking and cleaning to do so it was nice) we went home and put up our Christmas tree. Gracen, Brynlee and I are leaving in a week and a half to Utah for my friend Kassie's wedding and for Christmas so we will not be here for most of the month of December. We are so excited to go back home and see our family and friends. Nate will be joining us on the 23rd of December after he is done with classes. So we decided we better put it up and enjoy it for a couple weeks. Brynlee was so excited when she woke up from her nap and saw that Nate was stringing the lights. She is going to be so fun for Christmas this year. I think she finally gets the idea. She keeps telling me she is going to ask Santa for a flashlight and a pink camera. Gracen is getting to be so much fun! He loves looking at the lights on the tree. He had another appointment with the doctor the day before Thanksgiving and once again had very little weight gain. He was up a half ounce in 6 days weighing in at 7lbs 11 1/2ozs. Still so tiny. We are going back on Monday to have a weight check again. We are hoping and praying that he starts gaining better. We'll see what happens. Putting on the first ornament.
Even Gracen got in on the action!
Brynlee wanted to put them all at the bottom where she could reach, but we didn't think that looked too good so I talked her in to letting me lift her.

Every one is so cute. I hope that Gracen puts on some more weight. By the way-you have been tagged, see my blog for details.

So cute! We need Isaac to give Gracen a little pep-talk about putting on weight. Our Christmas is up too. Natali is totally into it as well (so fun)!
