Weekly Happenings

We pulled into the driveway and saw this big guy perched on our garage.  Hello fellow!  

 We had the best Thanksgiving and tried to walk a little of that ham/turkey off by going here.

 Thanksgiving fun with Mimi and Pappy!

 Time to decorate.  We have not used our Christmas decorations for a couple of years.  It was fun to pull them out.

 Meg made a pom-pom Christmas tree

 putting a few decorations around the house!

 We had a home-school potluck.

Wednesday evening we  headed out to the base lighting of the Christmas tree.  There were quite a few people and they did a big count down to light the tree and then this happened.  That's right only half of the tree came to life!  We laughed and laughed.  oops....  The guy in front of us said, "budget cuts".  

On a good note when we pulled out of the parking lot to leave all the lights were working and she looked beautiful in all her glory!

 They had a photo bus.... cutest idea ever.  You just popped in and they had lots of little props.

 Then after your photos were taken you went to the back of the bus where they printed out.

 How smart is that??

Meg even scored some play dough and utensils, which is awesome because this girl loves this stuff. 

We were also super excited because we made our very first batch of home-made play dough.   It made a huge amount and smells oh so good! (hence the unsweetened pack of Kool Aid.)

 and she's off.

Fun times!!
