Thanksgiving 2014

We had a great Thanksgiving this year!! The weather has been so nice and we've been playing outside a lot! The kids have really enjoyed it. 

 Eating some popcorn from a friend's birthday party while watching a movie. Don't tell the other two this is what she does while they nap...

 Anna had a bad virus that knocked her down for a week. So glad we haven't had any major sickness this year- just a low fever and fatigue.

 I made their Thanksgiving shirts this year and was excited to have them all matching!

 Too bad Anna wasn't quite ready to be still for a picture...

 She wanted to wear a backpack one morning while taking the others to school.

 we had a movie night one weekend to watch Planes: Fire and Rescue.

 we got in some bowling time last weekend too before Thanksgiving.

 And the kids loved helping me make the Thanksgiving desserts.

 They loved watching the parade this year and watched all 3 hours!! They really enjoyed seeing Santa at the end. Here is Anna waving to Dora.

 And now enjoying her pie... we had a great night with some close friends who have become our family. We are so grateful to have such great friends to celebrate these big moments with.

 These two have become very close lately... holding hands all the time.

 Friday we decorated the house for Christmas. These two enjoyed popping the bubble wrap.

 Getting her hair blow-dried

 Mr. Christmas right here. He asks for the tree to be lit all day long! He is so into Christmas this year, it's awesome to watch. Even Anna is walking around saying, Santa, nonstop.

 My beautiful girl posing...

 And then there's this little one... she's a mess, and growing up so quickly. She is so excited about Santa too. And she loves pointing to Buddy the elf now that he's shown back up.  She loves to make us laugh and is so silly. She loves to read books and loves all her people, Mawk, Mantha, Pap, Dadda, Pres Pres, Day Day and Mama. 

 Anna was busy making me and David laugh when he was sick. She did a good job distracting him and being silly.

 Buddy showed back up and has everyone on their best behavior. They were so excited to see him and talk to him throughout the day. So glad Christmas season is here!!
