Thanksgiving Day, we went to the inlaws for our big family meal. Bella was so excited to see her cousins. We had a great time visiting everyone and eating turkey. The younger cousins had their own table set up. After too much turkey, they were tired out so they laid in grandma Fran's bed and watched the 'Santa Buddies' movie. Before dark, the younger cousins wanted to go to the park to feed the deer. Of course my kids eat the apples instead of feeding them to the deer first ;)
Later that night, we went back to my parents' and my mom, me, and the kids did some baking. Both kids love being on the table to help. We made chocolate pretzels with m&m's and they were so yummy. My mom got the kids an 8 foot snowman for the yard but let it be in the living room for the week ;)
Friday morning I went black Friday shopping by myself. I found some cool stuff, and more than I thought I would. The kids are officially done, other than their big gift that I still have to order! They had a relaxing morning with grammy and made some peppermint candycane cookies. Auntie got to come home later that night so we were all excited to see her!
Saturday, we took the kids to have breakfast with Santa and see the reindeer. I was so proud that my little girl wasn't afraid of Santa this year!!! My mom got the kids a special Christmas book that she records each page with her voice. Bella's face was priceless as she opened the book to hear grammy's voice :)
We spent the rest of the day baking. We made truffles and bon bons, and although it was alot of work and big mess, I loved the quality time I got to spend with my mom and sister together. We made homemade pizzas for supper and had a couple of my mom's friends over to eat and hang out. It was a really fun night!
Sunday, Bella and grammy went to church and Sunday school while me and my sister took Connor and went shopping. We picked up Mike after he was done at camp and came back and got ready for my family's Thanksgiving after popps and uncle Sammy came home around noon. Over the week, we played countless games of memory with Bella. She was happy when daddy came home and they could "win the telephones!" The last Thanksgiving supper was yummy!
