Thanksgiving weekend was fun and relaxing this year! On Thursday morning, we had Grandma and Grandpa S over for a big brunch. We set a pretty table and made the food while the kids wrestled with Grandpa and played games with Grandma.
In the afternoon, we went to Auntie's house to have Thanksgiving dinner with the K side of the family. The kids decorated Auntie's tree while we were there and we had wine and good food!
Friday we decorated the house for Christmas! The kids have their own little tree they got to decorate and they helped with the family tree. We also set out all our other decorations and even wrapped some presents to put out! Note the stockings for the kitties and the tiny little stocking for Freddie the Ferret. That night we had movie night and watched 'The Karate Kid.'
On Saturday we did some Christmas shopping and some Christmas crafts, including these ornaments that Aurora made for each one of our pets. We also watched 'Elf.' Love that movie! When it got dark, we loaded the kids up in their jammies and drove around to look at Christmas lights. Then we topped the night off with some hot cocoa!
Sunday we went to the Natural History Museum, which was free for our county in November. It was kind of a bust because half of the exhibits were closed or broken...but at least we didn't have to pay! Then th rest of the day we just relaxed and then prepared for the week! Overall it was a nice break and some quality family time!
