Well Wes and Mia turned another year older on Noverber 27th. Since their birthday fell on the day before Thanksgiving, we decided that having a big birthday party was just not gonna work out this year. So, I took the day off of work and Chris worked a half day and we decided to just spend the day together doing something fun. The kids did not have school, so we layed around and watched cartoons and ate pancakes in the morning. Then we went down to the local cupcake shop and picked out some sweet treats for later to sing Happy Birthday with. Then we met Chris downtown at the Aquarium. We had lunch, saw all of the cool fish and pet the stingrays. Then the kids wanted to get home and eat cupcakes and open presents. We had planned on trying to fit in a movie, but they were too excited about their new toys and wanted to hang at home and give them a test run. Then we went to our favorite pizza place for dinner. It was a really great day!
We spent Thanksgiving this year at one of our neighbors houses. It was quite a fun day and also quite an impressive spread of food. Thanks Daniels Family for having us over, we had a great time.
We spent this weekend putting out all of our Christmas decorations. Wes and Mia were very eager to help out this year. Now if only the tree looked good with ornaments on only the bottom 2 feet of the tree! They also helped me make some new decorations for the tree this year....you guessed it, more snowmen! Our tree is packed from top to bottom with lots of snowmen ornaments....they are just so darn cute!!
Here are some pics of the last few days:
