The Jurgens Family

Saturday Morning we got up and went on our hunt for the perfect Christmas Tree. Now living here in Oregon, there is never a shortage of places to choose to get your tree. You can go to a lot and get one, you can go to a farm, or you can go to the woods. We choose to go to a farm, that way we get to use their saw and cardboard when needed. So the last 2 years we have gone to Sunnyview Farms. Its not to far from the house and they are priced very well.

and let the hunt begin:

This year for Thanksgiving we spent it with my family in Aumsville at my Sister Cassandra's House. All the family was there. It was a very good day.

As per tradtion since I was a kid, we started the day with the Macy Thanksgiving Day Parade. Hayliegh danced to every song sang and played during the 3hrs.

 Then over to my sister we went:

While most of the women worked on dinner, you found everyone one else either playing pool, or watching football or the kids just playing:

 Cooking cooking cooking

 The FOOD!

 This week has been crazy cold here for being November. So crazy cold that we have had the 1st snow fall of the year already. Now here at our house it wasn't much but Alec and Hayliegh didn't seem to mine or care how much it was....it was just SNOW! (For those who don't know.. Jayna is not here for this...she is spending time with Grandma Jurgens in Utah and Playing in feet of snow)

 Now poor Alec wanted to go out so bad and play in the snow, but I am a mean mommy and made him wait for Hayliegh to get up so they could play together... But it was worth it.....
 Hayliegh heard lets so outside and went and put her shoes on and said lets go..... umm mommy said no...
