We finally made it over to Fashion Island to see all the beautiful decorations. And of course, a ride on the up and down was necessary. 
We met up with Loriann and Shauna's sister Caty (taking the picture), so much fun.
And then it was over to the huge tree! Tatum thought we should get one that size for our house next year. We'll work on that. :)
We went for our annual tree hunting at the lot near my mom, to find her the perfect tree. What a tough job, so many pretty trees!
Shauna came along to help and taught Tatum how to lean into the tree to smell it and say "Pine", so cute. You can see by her expression that tree hunting was very exciting. :)
Here's the winner!
Before heading to story time at the library, Tatum let me take this picture of her. I couldn't believe she sat still long enough!
Then tree shopping, so much fun!
Poor Garrett had to unwrap about three trees before we found the perfect one.
The next day we went to the Viejas outlets and did some Christmas shopping. The mall has lots of metal animal scenes throughout and Tatum found a fawn which she decided was her baby. 
After giving it lots of hugs and pets, she decided her fawn would be good for riding too, so funny.
Another fun Thanksgiving! This year we spent it down in San Diego and had lots of friends join us. Erica brought over this cute Turkey hat and everyone took turns trying it on.
Mattie and her parents came down and this made Tatum so happy, she loves her BFF Mattie!
And I had two of my BFFs as well, Jenny and Erica. 
We also had one of Garrett's BFFs Todd and his girlfriend Heather over for dinner too, what a group! Hope we can have such a wonderful "family" gathering next year too. :)
