Thanksgiving

The Thursday before school was out for Thanksgiving vacation, Jaron's class put on a Thanksgiving play. It was super cute! They all had a couple lines each. After the play, they sang a song and danced. It was so funny. Afterwards, we had pumpkin or apple pie. All the kids had made place mats that said what they were thankful for. Jaron's said, "I am thankful for my mom and dad because I love them". It doesn't get any better than that.

Jacob and I decided to celebrate Thanksgiving on the Sunday before, because he had to work on Thanksgiving. I did all the prep cooking on Saturday and Jacob and I cooked the turkey together on Sunday. It was delicious. We had a very nice relaxing day. Jaron and Jenna both enjoyed eating the turkey legs. After Jenna's first bite, she said, "Oh that's good!" So cute. Jaron ate the whole thing there was not a single piece of meat left on the bone.

Jacob ended up getting sick. He stayed home with a cold all week. So, on Thanksgiving the kids and I went to my parents house and enjoyed a nice afternoon with them.

On Friday, Jacob was starting to feel better, so he went outside to do some yard work. Jaron and Jenna were big helpers. While Jacob did the yard work, I hung the lights on the house.

Saturday, Turtle Bay was having a members only Christmas event called Winter in the Woods. They had decorated for Christmas had activities for the kids and cookies and hot chocolate. Santa was even there!

Sunday, we picked up our Christmas tree and decorated it. Jaron was a big help. He did a great job putting ornaments and bows on. Jenna enjoyed posing for the camera every time we set the timer.

So we are ready for Christmas we are going to do some fun things this month, ice skating, looking at Christmas lights, watching lots of Christmas movies and enjoying each other.
