Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving week started off with Carrington's program at preschool. The kids spent the month decorating their costumes and learning songs. We heard bits and pieces of the songs during November when Carrington came home singing them. The little number they put on was adorable! Imagine watching 30+ three year olds, standing in front of their parents, proud as peacocks, just singing their little hearts out. Precious, I tell you!

Thanksgiving morning the kids and Aaron watched the Macy's Day Parade while I cooked a few things for our feast. For lunch we traveled to Murrell's Inlet where my Aunt rented a house for the month. We had lunch on the porch overlooking the water, and then spent the rest of the afternoon playing outside, taking a boat ride, and looking over black friday deals in the newspaper. We covered all the things you are suppose to do on Thanksgiving!

The video was accidentally taken while Melissa was trying to snap photos. I love that it was captured because it's so accurate of what it's like trying to get a picture with all five of us - Craziness!

The rest of Thanksgiving break was spent around our house. The weather was beautiful so Aaron spent an entire day raking leaves and burning them. The kids played outside, making use of the leaf piles by jumping in them. It gave them hours of entertainment and in need of a good bath that night.

  Carrington got a hold of my camera while I was taking a nap and took several pictures of me sleeping. I had no idea this was happening at the time. The next day I grabbed my phone to take a picture and scrolled back to find them. It was pretty funny to look at because she also took several other pictures and video of our Christmas decorations.

 

Saturday was spent doing our favorite Fall activity - watching college football all day!! The kids have been doing this since birth so it's second natural for them and something they enjoying.  

 

The last item of business over Thanksgiving was pulling out Christmas decorations, putting everything up, buying a Christmas tree, and decorating it. It took four days but everything is up - not all plugged in but at least out for viewing! I'll post about that later...
