Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving was wonderful.

Absolutely my favorite holiday.

Kaeleigh lost her first tooth that morning.

I was going to post a picture but there's blood and it just looks nasty.

So I'll just tell you about it instead.

The Husband tied some thread around the tooth and had Maylyn pull it out!

Kaeleigh got a visit from the tooth fairy and was pretty jazzed about it.

We spent the holiday at my parent's house and I was so excited because my sister was able to come down for the day.



With my siblings.



I shopped my first Black Friday this year.

That was an experience let me tell you!

My friend Liz and I started at midnight and finished up by 5am.

The lines were long and the people were crazy, and other than being exhausted the next day it wasn't too bad.

We spent today at the zoo with a couple of friends and it was the perfect day for it.

Not too busy and the weather was awesome!

We spent 4 hours there! 

I'm so glad that I have one more day off before it's back to work on Monday.

I can't wait for her to be a teenager.

 Perfect dismount and landing.  :)

 With all the fun we've been having, I missed Flashback Friday!

I think tomorrow may be a Flashback Sunday if I can find some good Thanksgiving pictures of the kiddos.

Turkey.

Every year the kid's school does a Family Turkey Project.

Last year I went out and bought feathers and glitter and rhinestones for Kaeleigh to decorate her turkey.  It was very girlie.

This year we were more thrifty and used just what we had at home.

We used:

Coco puffs, rotini pasta, Kix cereal, Smarties, and Skittles.

(Getting rid of that Halloween candy! Woo hoo!)

Kaeleigh was very proud of her idea to use red Skittles for the turkey's wattle.

Didn't it turn out great? 

Afterward they tried to talk me into eating the candy that wasn't used...

They are so my kids.  :)

Where ya been?

Things have been a little crazy around here so forgive me for not posting.

Our water heater broke and flooded the garage.

The computer decided it hates us and stopped working. (I'm waiting for it to die as I type)

Kaeleigh got sick. It may or may not be H1N1. I'll know in about 24 hours when the test results come back. But in the meantime, she has to be quarantined until she's fever free for 24 hours. As of this morning, she's still running a slight fever. And that's keeping her little sister over at grandma's house. (Thanks mom and dad!)

But despite all of the craziness we had a really great Thanksgiving.

My aunt hosted Thanksgiving at her new house. Her husband Greg does the cooking and it was amazing! I love having potato options. I really should have taken pictures of the food, but I was too busy eating it. Our day was filled with food, football, and Friends Scene It. (You're on for a rematch Sara.)

Here's a few pictures from our holiday:

Ha! That last picture cracks me up. Maylyn was mad that I wouldn't let her stand right in the middle of the football game. I took 160 pictures, be thankful I didn't post them all. :) Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! We're working on getting well over here.

Did you know, that it's only 26 days til Christmas? :-)
