On Friday night we decorate the tree!
Yes, that is a snowman floating above Nathan’s head
Sam is scheming again
Artsy shot!
Merry Christmas!

Tis the season!
According to Kawell tradition, the day before Thanksgiving is the first day of setting up for Christmas! This is the day that all the outside lights and garlands are put up.
Sam untangles lights
The garland is the hardest part
Jesse and I (Abby) were at our respective jobs that day, and Mama was cooking. It was up to the Daddy, Sam, the twins and Nathan to get the job done!
But football is never left behind!
The day after Thanksgiving, we go to the Old Baker Farm to hunt down the perfect tree!
We found two absolutely perfect ones, and only one of those would actually fit in the house! It was still a hard decision…
The annual Christmas Tree Picture.
Somebody’s always squinting…
Or falling asleep!
Cutting it down…
Still cutting…
The boys all take a turn…
Step 1
Step 2
And step 3! Tada!
Thanksgiving
The lovely table, complete with the Mayflower, of course!
Broccoli casserole, stuffing, sweet potato casserole and turkey
More turkey!
Gravy, green beans, and mashed potatoes in the Crockpot
Sam approves
Nathan still isn’t the biggest fan of all the food, but he enjoys his sweet potatoes, turkey and rolls
Happy Thanksgiving!
The Mayflower
For a Thanksgiving centerpiece, our Lego masters created the Mayflower. When I first saw it, I was convinced that it was a set they had bought, but they assured me that they came up with it themselves.
It has a full complement of sailors (for a merchant ship, anyway)
Two cannons
This is the captain’s cabin, of course
Down in the hold, the ladies are cooking next to the hammocks while a rat runs by. Ship life is never very sanitary.
A thanksgiving feast for the, um, six pilgrims.
The Mayflower!
