Thanksgiving!

We are having a fun Thanksgiving Day break. The break started by being cold, 4 degrees, and then the snow came! The kids love it!

Samantha and Parker made a large mount of snow, they will make a fort later.

We headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's for dinner. The kids like to be with their cousins!

Jessica and Safira, who enjoyed the phone when music was playing.



Safira and Eli enjoying play time together.

Zachary enjoyed dancing along with Mary Poppins, the movie that was on.

The sledding began outside! Samantha tried to snowboard!

What a pretty snow angel!

Parker also had fun riding with Afton.

Thanks to all for the wonderful Thanksgiving dinner!! It was delicious!!

We still have some Thanksgiving Day break left.

Time to get out some Christmas decorations out!

Powderpuff

Last night Jessica and her friend Casey went to play in the Powder Puff football game. This is a football game for the girls to play. The boys are the cheerleaders! They had to get ready for the game; only girls would do that.

They look tough, right?



Show me those muscles!

Samantha had a Cross Country banquet. I think it was a bit on the long side, 2 hours. Samantha got the award for the best newcomer. Samantha is also wearing a walking cast. She might have a stress fracture. We will go back to get another xray in 2 weeks.

I made chocolate rolo cookies for the banquet. You use cake mix, butter and eggs and you wrap the dough around a rolo. Yummm.

After the banquet, Samantha and I went to watch Jessica play! Excitement!! Jessica has the green headband and the pink sleeves.



She looks excited to play. The game was the Juniors (Jessica) against the Seniors! The Juniors won 33 to 13! Woo Hoo!
