Thanksgiving Weekend

Happy Belated Thanksgiving.  I'm Thankful for the following:

1) My wonderful hubby - you are the best friend and daddy ever!

2) Sam and Brett - the apples of our eyes.  Daddy and I love you both more than you will ever know.

3)  My mom, sisters and their families. 

4)  My in-laws.  Travis' sisters and families, brother and mom and dad.

A little Thanksgiving morning cleaning - I love my helpers!

Thanksgiving was pretty low key at our house. My sister, hubby and her two kiddos came over to share the feast with us. We had ham, cheesy corn, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, and rolls. My older sister and family planned on coming over for dessert but my littlest niece came down with a bug and so they just brought over some pie and pumpkin bread for us to devour.

After my kiddos napped it was time to decorate gingerbread houses. Brett started eating his. I've never really seen a kid eat their gingerbread house. I tasted it and it tasted like cardboard. I'm not sure it agreed with him, he had green poo every couple of hours for about 3 days.

We went to Disney on Ice on Thanksgiving night and ha a good time. Sammy was a little disappointed because Tink was not included in the show. How can you celebrate Disney without Tinkerbell?

 

Sam and River were going on an adventure complete with her hat, backpack, boots and map!

 

Below:  Brett snoozing on my lap on Sunday after an eventful morning.  First we went to church and then to the mall to play.  He fell at the mall and cut the inside of his lip.  That little thing that connects your gums to your lips.  Ouch!  It bled pretty badly.  Then he did it again a little later.  Poor guy!

 

My sleepy little man.  You are either going 100 mph or sleeping.  There is rarely an in between speed!

 

This morning Sam finally slept until 6am.  That's a big deal at our house.  We celebrated with hugs, lots of praise and a sticker.  For the past several weeks she has been waking us up sometime between 5:15-5:45am by yelling from her bed that she has to go potty.

 

Tomorrow Brett goes to the ENT doctor.  We will be talking about tubes.  Fun Times!
