Gaver Tree Farm
















We cut down our first Christmas Tree together! It was beautiful weather this weekend so we took advantage of it. It was a great experience. The farm had several different types of trees and fields full of trees to choose from. My Mom came over and put all the lights on the tree for us (my least fav. part). So excited to have our house all decorated for Christmas!

Happy Turkey Day







Well we survived our first Thanksgiving as a married couple! We decided to spread out the Thanksgiving dinners over the past 2 days. We ate dinner with my family Wednesday evening and then dinner with the Graves/Ryan family today. We did end up back at my parents house for dessert and a great time with special friends :) I included a few photos from our day...and yes, Kevin has a beard!

I heart running on Turkey Day!


This is how we started off our Thanksgiving day. It is the Grave's Family tradition to run the turkey chase each year. There is a 10k run or a 2 mile fun run/walk. Obviously we know which one I have done the past 2 years...2 MILE! Kristy and I are turkey chase partners...last year she was very pregnant and now this year Dylan joined us.

Turtles!


Kevin has fallen in love with our turtles. Yes, we have 2 small turtles. I have had them for about 2 years. Once we moved into our house the turtles joined us and Kevin has become obsessed about them. He feeds them religiously every morning before he goes to work. I found out that he was over feeding them because he thinks they need to get bigger which will only happen with a bigger tank which is our on going argument. I do not want big turtles which is why I have them in the tank I do...Kevin on the other hand wants them to grow. For now I am winning :) I do have to say that along with Kevin's obsession with the turtles comes his weekly tank cleaning. Now remember Kevin is the person who could care less how messy his room was or even now what our house looks like BUT those turtles are living the high life!
