After 6 1/2 years of marriage this was the first holiday we have stayed home! Our original plan was to make a traditional Thanksgiving dinner and stay home and watch football. But then I got an idea to go to an awesome hotel just 15 min away from our house. (Check it out greatwolf.com) We spent the whole first day at the indoor waterpark and then had the Thanksgiving buffet that evening. The best part was that I didn't cook a thing and Preston didn't do one dish...and the kids could eat anything they wanted for dinner, including cereal and gummy worms!
At the hotel they have story time at 8:00pm. All the kids come down in their pajamas and watch the show and listen to a story.

This will definitely not work as our family Christmas picture, but at least we have one with a Christmas tree in the background.
Everytime Carter came down the waterslides he would swim over to me and say "Again?"
