Leaf Fun and Outdoor Christmas Decorating

The kids got to play in some left over leaves, harvest the last of the garden, and AJ and I decorated the exterior of the house.

Hermitage Museum

This morning I took the kiddos to the Hermitage Museum because they had a free admission weekend.  We started the day off right with donuts and then had fun exploring the museum ground and the new art installation stick house.

Thanksgiving 2016

We had a really fun time this Thanksgiving even though AJ had to work.  We got up and went on our traditional Thanksgiving hike but unfortunately got rained out about a half mile in.  We came home and had cocoa and watched the Macy’s Parade by the fire while I made an early dinner.  The kids had coloring sheets to do and Alex made a thankful wreath like Brooke did the day before in school.  AJ went to work and the kids and I relaxed the rest of the day.

Thanksgiving Party at Brooke’s Class

AJ and I were room parents for Brooke’s Thanksgiving party at school.  We came up with and brought supplies for a craft for the children which was a thankfulness wreath for them to hang at home.  Each child picked and glued leaves on their wreath and then AJ and I wrote at least 3 things they were thankful for.  After we helped clean up we all went to the social hall where they had all the Pre-K classes for a Thanksgiving feast!
