Happy Thanksgiving





We hope your Thanksgiving was as relaxing as ours was. We watched the parade, painted a super cute Turkey craft from Auntie Tina, watched football and ate HAM!!! We wanted something different this year, the kids and Mo love ham so we cooked that instead. Well, Mo cooked that. I made the simple side dishes. Everything turned out to be super delicious. It was a very low key but oh so enjoyable holiday!

Thankful Thursdays...member these

I have so much to be grateful for...

life, a healthy family, friends, jobs, food but that sounds so trivial. I guess I am thankful for the simple things in life. So many people are struggling and we are blessed. God restores our blessings daily no matter how minuscule they are.

I'm also thankful for these:

I'm able to attend a super great bunco group on Thursday nights. I loved tonight, it was so fun and relaxing. We ate the most delicious soups and salads with yummy peppermint Dove chocolates for dessert. I have been playing with these teachers from my old school Vegas Verdes for 7 or 8 years now. It is a great night out for mom and dad gets to have some quality time with the kiddos.

Reece's teachers, Jensen & Smith are the kindest people I have ever met. They are so patient and loving to all their students. Reece is finally warming up to them and appreciating how awesome they are.

Raine's teachers are just as fantastic. I appreciate all they do for Raine and her preschool friends. Donna and Sheri are so soft spoken and sweet it's amazing to watch them in action.

Raine's Field Trip

Raine went on her pre-k field trip to the Gilcrease Bird Sanctuary. She was very excited because mama was able to go with her. It was a bitter cold morning for us desert rats but we toughed it out. Raine wasn't all that interested in feeding or petting the animals. The birds were way too loud for her; she walked out of their little barn with her hands over her ears. She did however enjoy chasing the ducks & chickens. I was so thankful to be a mommy chaperon!

Raine was a bit hesitant about the miniature ponies.


They were so excited to check out all of the neat animals.


She would pose for a pic but wouldn't dare feed the animals.
