Ammy and Papa came to visit for Christmas break and had a lot of fun with us. Brooke and Alex had a good time playing with Ammy and Papa and doing fun Christmas things like making cookies, seeing Christmas lights, opening presents, and AJ and I enjoyed a date night. Papa was very busy helping AJ build the kid’s biggest Christmas present: The Playhouse. It was a fun week!
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.

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.
We traveled to Arizona for Allison’s wedding. It was Alex’s first time in Phoenix. Brooke and Alex got to meet their new cousins Ian and Aaron and we all went to the aquarium together. I took the kids to the McCormick Train Park with Ammy, Papa, and Great Uncle Bobby. That night I joined Allison’s friends at her Bachelorette party. Friday we had a playdate with Jackie, Amy, and Ben at their neighborhood parks and house. Then we all got dressed up for the main event: The Worthington Wedding. Brooke and Alex did a good job in the wedding and had fun at the reception. We had a visit with Great Uncle Brad the next day before flying home.
