Decorating for Christmas

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!
AZ Visit and Allison’s Wedding
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.

Smithfield Antique Fair
I took the kids a little out of town to Smithfield for their antique fair. We had fun looking over the tents and then running around exploring the town and nearby hiking trails.
