Thanksgiving

The weeks leading up to thanksgiving were a bit hectic. Who knew being a kindergarten PTA mom would be so time consuming! I’m not complaining, i have loved serving at her school and meeting her friends. But there was a lot going on at Liberty last week. And Parker’s preschool got in on the action too! 

Philip and I got to join Ainsley for her schools “thanksgiving feast”. It was the first time she bought school lunch and she actually liked it. We did too really, the food was yummy. They had a nicely decorated table for families to sit at but Ainsley wanted to sit by ourselves:) 

The last day before break, the SIP had their own feast in the afternoon. The kids came in dressed as turkeys that they had cut, colored and put together on their own. Ainsley got embarrassed when i started taking her picture. This time it was just me with both kids and Parker was not on his best behavior. But i did get to meet some new friends and their moms, and eat some delicious food made by the families in her class. 

The day of Parker’s meal, it snowed! He loves a good snowball. Then he had his own feast at his school, but parents weren’t invited to come back, which i was totally ok with. He said he didn’t eat the turkey or corn but loved the cookies. 

The day of thanksgiving we went to nannypops. I made my dishes there while the kids played. We even had time to trek on the farm and chop down some mistletoe. That evening everyone came over for a delicious dinner. Uncle Bubby brought a sleeping mat that he turned into a slide and the kids had a blast sliding down the steps into a sea of pillows. Dinner went well until Parker ran off from the table into the living room, kicking my cranberry appetizer all over moms white carpet (thank you Rachel and pop for helping me clean THAT up). 

Ainsley has been loving being home from school , she calls it her long weekend:)

We have so much to be thankful for. Our family is one of a kind and the kids are growing so fast. They loved playing with GG, nannypop, their aunts uncles and especially their cousins.
