Thanksgiving Fun

I just can't seem to keep up with blogging lately! I am hoping that my next post won't be in three weeks.

We had a really fun time at Thanksgiving in spite of the fact that Annalise, Noah, and I all had pink eye and Annalise and I both also had sinus infections. I got medicine before we left and we ended up taking Annalise to the CVS Minute Clinic (which I highly recommend, everyone was so nice!).

Noah is just growing like a weed and can stand up while holding onto things. He has the sweetest smile.

Annalise was a big helper in the kitchen! Some of the highlights were:

GINGERBREAD HOUSES

Here is the finished product. Please notice the bite that got taken out of the snowman's head-

This is what the finished product was supposed to look like-

PIE MAKING

Annalise helped peel and core the apples-

These were the prettiest pies I've ever made!

TURKEY COOKING

Annalise ate off of real china and used a crystal goblet for the big meal at what she called "The Fancy Table."

Here is Noah at Thanksgiving dinner. He LOVES to eat and polished off everything on that green plate.

We helped with some Christmas decorations and went on lots of wagon rides to see all of the beautiful lights that are completely amazing for Annalise.

We praise God for our wonderful kids and that He has given us SO much to be thankful for!
