Thanksgiving was a great way to start this holiday season!!! We started out the day with our annual family meeting. This is where we all sit together and make some new goals for the upcoming year. It's when we reflect back from the past year and say things that we need to improve in and do differently!!! It's the perfect opportunity to set new family goals and write down the things we are most grateful for!!!
Then we grabbed the freshly baked chocolate cake and went to Daudy Lapp's for a Thanksgiving dinner!!! The food was so yummy and delicious!!! Mom always does a great job!!! We spent the day with family and friends. The guys shot their guns and hit clay birds.
The night finally came when Hadassah and I went out Black Friday shopping! Hadassah was looking forwards to this a lot! Jess met us here and went along too!!! The whole night was a blast!!!
Ashlyn dressed up for her school thanksgiving party and she looked adorable!!!
One of the school moms made these. Cute turkey legs. :)
Middle school had a brunch for their party.
Kindergarten is a fun place to learn and Ashlyn is really starting to recognize letters! She traces a lot and writes all the time!!! This little indian/pilgrim is so cute!!!
When you get to do school with a cousin ... you have to document it with pictures!!! ;)))
And so why does she say some days that school is boring? That she doesn't like the bus ride? This looks like a blast to me!!!!! :))))
A fun craft!
I left the kiddoes like my beaters after mixing a cake for our thanksgiving dinner at Daudy Lapps.
It's starting to look like Christmas here at our home!!! After a late night out on Thursday, we still had enough of energy to decorate for Christmas on Friday!!! It's a day I look forward to a lot!!! I love the Christmas season and really enjoy decking out the house for this wonderful celebration!!!! I don't know how many times I have thought back or said, "I'm so glad it's this year and not last year!!!" We were finishing up the house last year this time and moving back in just in time to spend Christmas at home!!! So much needed to be done last year this time to make our move before Christmas happen but it happened!!! So glad to be in and settled much more this year!!! :)
I made my first stop at the greenhouse and loved what I saw!!! So pretty!!!
We went down to moms the other day and helped her put her Christmas decorations. Look who sat in one of the empty containers!!!
You know the days when your husband says, "What did you do today?"
Well ... here's a tiny glimpse of what goes on each day!
