We began the celebrations at the USJ holiday mart where the kids got to meet some characters and have an ornament signed by them.
Reese Ann with Minnie Mouse- one of her favorites!
Thanksgiving smiles
and with Granny!
making turkey cookies with Edie
RA having fun in Uncle Eric's boots!
Cooper had a "Friendship Feast" at school- his class of little indians!
he had a few honorary guests, too!
Now onto Christmas- we decorated the weekend after Thanksgiving. I usually do not begin so early, but I wanted to have plenty of time to get inspired to decorate our new house and still enjoy the decorations for a month or so. It worked out perfectly because we were sickly and had to be at home anyway!
helping to hang some ornaments
Jack, our elf, returned for the Christmas season with breakfast, a note, and an ornament for the kids!
Loving chilling out in Christmas jammies!
The Christmas festivities began with a trip to Nashville to see Sis-sis for her birthday. We were able to go see Santa- I'll post that picture later. Reese Ann and Cooper both had their school Christmas celebrations on Thursday. RA's program at First Pres was precious! She is the youngest in the school this year, so I was not sure how she would do in front of all of the people singing, but she was a natural! She had fun with her friends, sang along to the songs, loved seeing us all in the crowd, and overall had a great time!
all four of us after the program
with RA's cheering section!
and finally, on this never-ending catch-up post, Cooper had fun decorating a tree & having a book exchange at his school party.
Will post more from the week of Christmas activities very soon!
