We really love our elementary school! They have so many fun activities here and the kids have made a lot of new friends. They still miss Hawaii though. They had a Thanksgiving Feast and invited the parents to come for lunch.
My cute little Pilgrim. He said to me, "Mom, I got confused on the Pilgrims and Indians, and I wanted to be an Indian but it was too late to change." Next time buddy!
I sneaked over to Madelyn's table and giggled with her and her friend for a bit. 3rd grade girls really like to laugh a lot!
Ever since Scott fell off the roof putting up Christmas lights up in 2011 for his grandma in Virginia, he vowed to NEVER do lights again. We went on a date the weekend before Thanksgiving, and after dinner we were driving home and he said, "let's go pick out Christmas lights for the house, baby!" Yeah! I was so excited! He started that very night, then finished the next day and we had a lighting ceremony with the kids with hot chocolate to celebrate. We love our cozy little home, and yes we were the first in our neighborhood to put up lights!
Oma and Opa are only a day's drive away from us in Virginia! They came to be with us for Thanksgiving. They brought their fur children Coco and Heidi. The kids were so in love with them and spent the whole time petting, playing and snuggling them.
They gave us a popcorn machine, yum! We took them to Abraham's birth home, the doggies came too. Heidi was walking with Scott and Ian on a path behind the monument and some men were walking on the path coming towards them and Heidi walked in between the men and Ian and stood there protecting Ian until after the men passed. He also got protective of Ian when Scott wrestled him.
Rylan will always be Oma's boy!
Then came the big Thanksgiving dinner! I have to get a picture of Scott cooking his one time a year! He really does make the best mashed potatoes! Oma was sneaking kisses on Ian while they got the green beans ready.
Oma made Madelyn, Ian and I matching aprons with turkeys on them!
This cracked us up! When Coco wants to be pet on her belly she will come up to your leg and lift up her back leg like she is going to pee on you, but she is just wanting a belly rub!
Oma and Opa stayed in Rylan's room in the basement while Rylan bunked with Ian upstairs, the kids enjoyed reading to Oma at night before bed while she played her games. Before they went home Opa gave the kids an advent calendar with chocolates in it. Every morning in the month of December the kids would jump out of bed to see what kind of chocolate they got that day. They loved it!
