Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day was more hanging out like the rest of the week...no complaints here.  It was super relaxing for me.  My kids literally disappear when they are around cousins, and they have so much fun.

Grandma brought Miley some of her rock collection, and Miley was thrilled to check them out.  In between looking at those, doing some reading with Grandpa, and playing on dad's computer, there was still more time for more pool, foosball, and ping pong (of course).  And Landon was in his own little dream world with all the cars!

We had a wonderful dinner....I mean, Thanksgiving is always great, right??

Then, after we were all thoroughly stuffed, and before the guys headed out for a bit of Black Friday shopping, we were able to get a picture of the whole group.  So happy to have such wonderful family to spend the holiday with!

 

Thanksgiving Week

This year for Thanksgiving, Cameron's parents were able to come up and see us, and Cameron's brothers's family.  It was the first time they had been here in two and a half years, so we were happy to finally get to show them our new house, and just to have them here after such a long time!

They stayed at Cameron's brother's house, so we spent most of the week over there.  There was lots of relaxing, playing pool, foosball, ping pong, and of course, eating!  Miley and Landon loved getting to spend so much time with their Grandma and Grandpa and their cousins and aunt and uncle!  And thank goodness for me, I got all of my father-in-law's awesome pictures to use!!

Halloween Wrap Up

Halloween was fun as usual.  Leading up to Halloween, you have to sport the Halloween clothes as much as possible:

Miley was able to wear her costume a little early for her costume parade at school.  I think it is so fun they still do this at her school. because so many schools don't anymore.

That evening we got both kiddos ready.  I couldn't seem to get a "normal" picture of the two of them....they were definitely getting into the character of their costumes.  :)

After asking about a million times if it was time to go trick-or-treating, we were finally able to meet up with all of our neighbor buddies to make rounds.  Fortunately this year, Cameron didn't have school, so I was able to stay in the nice warm house and hand out candy, while he took on the cooler (literally, and figuratively....) job of taking the kids around.

After they had made their way around, and had a few treats, it was time to wind down and get their monster pajamas on.

I can't believe Halloween has already come and gone.  Where is this year going?

Pre-Halloween Fun

It seems like every year there is more and more stuff to do leading up to Halloween.  Not that I mind. It is always great when you get multiple uses out of the costumes!

The week before Halloween we had our annual Fall Festival at church.  There were lots of fun activities for the kids to do, which Miley enjoyed.  There were lots of doughnuts and fruit, too, which was right up Landon's alley (um, seriously, his faces...he kills me)...

Miley got to see "Cinderella"....the girl at church, who she still believes is the real Cinderella.  :)

We got to see one cousin there, Collin, and the kids were thrilled to see him.

Miley also got to dress up for her dance class this week, which she loved.

As crazy it is running around to all these activities, I just love the holidays and all the fun things with kids!!  Wonder what our boxer and Wonder Woman will end up being next year?
