Happy Jones Giving!

My dad always has to work on Thanksgiving, so we have started a tradition now where he have a family Thanksgiving meal the day before. This is always pretty handy because my Grandma Wallace usually has a big dinner on Thursday. This means more than one amazing turkey dinner that I don't have to cook! Nice! Here are some pictures from this year's Jones Giving Dinner.

Making sure the battery is charged enough to take pictures. Emma got to help decorate the tree. Our tree has been up since shortly (hours) after Halloween ended, and it is a dinky little thing. She was very excited to see Grandma's ginormous tree! She kapt telling Grandma how big it was.
Someday I would like to be as photogenic as Caulene. For reals- the girl can't take a bad picture.
Ross looks a lot like one of his brothers in this one. Poor guy had been up since very early trying to get some good hours in before the break.
We have to have Caulene around to get the ornaments on the top half of the tree that the rest of us can't reach. Thanks for your height Caulene!
Sara was enamored with the lights. Ours is up high on a box- so Sara was thrilled to be so up close and personal.
Emma and Dana got a good system going after a while.


Dad had bronchitus and wasn't feeling to hot.
Heather's camera's batteries died- so she resorted to the camera on her phone. That, or her popular bum got a text.
It was a fun night, and a great practice for the next day. Thants, Mom! We love you!

the only thing that has ever made me miniscully tempted to have a fake tree is being able to put it up early. But alas, poor Brian has to deal with my VERY Very very strong emotional attachment to real trees and the process that goes into selecting them and putting them up. This year we even get to go to a Christmas tree farm and pick and cut our own down. I am SO excited!
