Catch up

I need to play catch up. Since last week all I did was gratitude posts, I need to share some of what has been going on around here.

The other day it rained. We love rain since it rarely happens so even though it was 7:00 am, they marched out there in there PJs and had a blast.

Then came Maya's preschool Thanksgiving Feast.

Our Thanksgiving was heavenly. We went to a buffet at a resort in Scottsdale. The food was amazing, company was lovely and the kids were somewhat well-behaved considering we were there for 3 1/2 hours. They had any kind of meat and seafood you could want and even a kids buffet with mac-n-cheese, chicken nuggets, pizza, etc. My favorite part was the dessert bar with chocolate covered strawberries, cheesecake, bananas foster, pumpkin pie and many more!

Just chewin' on a crab leg

And an oyster

Maya did a pretty good job taking our picture

And Kenyon enjoyed some standing water for dessert

Why did I dress them up?!


And off he goes!

Jer had to work on Friday so I took the kids out shopping at 6:30 am. It was a little crazy, but we scored some great deals!

In between everything else, we have been decorating our house and tree. We are ready for Christmas. So ready, in fact, that the kids already saw Santa at the mall. Maya wants a microphone and games and Kenyon just gave him a high 5. He didn't have them sit on his lap. I wonder if there was some law suit so now they can't...

Kenyon loves the Little People Nativity Set. He loves to throw it, but the other day I came down the stairs and he was playing with it so nice. He looked up, saw me and immediately starting throwing them across the room. Stinker!

Happy December tomorrow!
