Gingerbread cookies

Last night we decided to make gingerbread cookies. I rolled and the boys cut. Then they had a little fun with the flour.

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! This year we had a really quiet Thanksgiving. It was just the three of us and we took our time getting the turkey in the oven and looking thru all the ad's for Black Friday. We watched the Lions lose and then stuffed our faces with turkey, well except Jackson he wouldn't touch the turkey or anything else and ended up eating chicken nuggets, ketchup and cookies. The kid is such a cookie monster! We thought about putting up Christmas lights outside and then decided to put it off til another day. It was a great day to relax and just be a family, for that I am thankful.


Over the past week we had our first snow fall of the season and couldn't wait to go play in it. We shoveled, went sledding, threw snowballs and made a little snowman. Who has since had the candy we used for his face eaten by a squirrel and the neighborhood dog, Carson. We've been to many toy stores searching for just the right things for our list to Santa. And at school they made turkey hats for Thanksgiving. Jackson also went to his first Pee Wee basketball class. The class is made up of boys and girls ages 3-5. The first lessons were on how to dribble, shoot, and pass. They still need a bit of work but it was so much fun to watch him and daddy out there. I think they both had a good time.


We hope you all had a good Thanksgiving and please know that we are so thankful to have such wonderful family and friends. See most of you in a few weeks for Christmas!
