Grafton Christmas Parade!

The kids had a great time at the parade this year! Sunny and no wind made for a perfect parade day! Gracelyn was such a trooper the entire time even though she couldn't move with her Christmas Story snowsuit on!

Thanksgiving 2013

Another great Thanksgiving. We hosted at our house and I was pretty proud of myself for cooking for the huge number of people in the family! Grandma Peg, Ashli, and Jason came over for pie. It is always so nice to see them! A lot to be thankful this year!

Excited Girl!

So onto something new as parents, loosing teeth. First off, I think this is so gross. Everything about it, the wiggling of a loose tooth, the tooth itself, the missing spot in the mouth where the tooth was, all gross! Well anyways, Lilyana is beyond thrilled that her teeth are falling out! She also likes to keep everything so had to write a letter to the tooth fairy requesting her to just look at the tooth and not take it. :) Today at school tooth #2 came home in a little baggie. Another note written to the tooth fairy. Even though I think the whole teeth falling out is disgusting it is amazing to watch the joy on her face when the tooth fairy comes with sparkly money. (And the amount shown here was a first tooth special, she will not be getting $5 every tooth!)

Friday Night Jam Session!

Just 4 Fun

Lilyana had a half day of school so we spent the afternoon at "The Play Place". Gracelyn was old enough to do some exploring of her own! We will be spending a lot of the long winter days here!

Thanksgiving Feasts

I got to spend some time with Lilyana and Gavyn at school today to partake in their Thanksgiving feasts. Gavyn had a feast in the morning, it was nice to spend some quality time with just Gavyn and he loved it. After the feast we watched a movie in his classroom. It is amazing how good he sits and listens at school-such a big boy! Then I got to head back again in the afternoon and enjoy a Thanksgiving feast with Lilyana. She is truly a special little girl and I believe the loudest out of every kid there! Lilyana has a half day of school tomorrow then the kids are off for a week for a Thanksgiving break. I am thankful today for getting to spend the day at school with my kids!
