Royer Triplets: Our First Thanksgiving

Wow what a busy week we have had. I was fortunate to have the entire week of Thanksgiving off from school, so Mark and I took this time to get a lot of things done. In years past, we have always decorated our house for Christmas on the day after Thanksgiving. This year we knew decorating would prove to be a lot more time consuming with frequent interruptions, so we started pulling down and organizing our Christmas decorations and even started putting up the lights outside on Wednesday. Feeling in the Christmas mood, we decided to take the girls to see Santa for the first time. We thought this was the best time to beat the crowd (and I was super excited :) ). The girls were so good and didn't cry at all. I feel that they are very lucky to have each other in that they are never in situations where they are alone. Sitting on a strange man's lap is not as frightening when you have your sisters at your side.

Yesterday, our family celebrated the girls' first Thanksgiving. We definitely have a lot to be thankful for this year. We spent the day with family and friends enjoying nothing short of a feast. The girls had formula and squash (yum!) I made them onesies to wear to our Thanksgiving dinner. We were so careful to keep them clean, but shortly after dinner Jillian had completely ruined hers (I was proud of her for making it that long).

Today, we did start decorating but are far from finished. Hopefully we will finish up tomorrow and be able to post some more pictures. Our hope is to take our own Christmas card pictures in front of our tree. Enjoy our pictures from Thanksgiving and Santa.
