Thanksgiving weekend...

We celebrated a wonderful Thanksgiving this year at our home. Even though all our family was not able to be together I'm looking forward to spending time with my side of the family during Christmas break. Lots of stuff going on during our days out of school... a trip to see Santa, a message from Payton from school one day (it absolutely made my day!), a new bed, and a good lesson learned- hopefully. Payton's new big girl bed... over the long weekend at home with us she really started spouting out some new words. She is trying to repeat words she hears and really has discovered books! She loves to read books, even if it is the same one, over and over :)! The bed is taking a little adjustment... she has slept wonderfully in her crib so we are hoping after the initial shock of the change she will settle back into her routine. Still more changes to come... right now the bed is just on the floor with a box spring until she gets more comfortable.
I guess you could call this the kid table... but we had three stations of eating going on... the favorite part of the meal from the kids - pigs in a blanket and fresh corn from Aunt Nette. We had anything and everything you could think of and plenty of delicious desserts. The kids enjoyed riding in the golf cart and playing upstairs!

My message for the day... so sweet!

These are the bags of toys that RJ picked out to donate to a local organization. We went through several of his toy bins and he decided what to keep and what to give away. I really hope he understands the point and just how lucky he is.

After our trip to see Santa at the mall, home relaxing and playing... they discovered how fun the hats were to play in...
