Thanksgiving Week

It's been a big week for us!  We have been busy celebrating Thanksgiving and getting ready for Christmas too!

Scarlett had grandparent's day at school that Elle & I attended (we were stand in grandparents). The kids all wore the turkey shirts they made and we helped them make a hand turkey craft and shared a snack.  

Since Cameron had to work on Monday before Thanksgiving and Scarlett had off school, I took the girls to go see Santa!  Here they are getting ready.  I don't have the Santa pic scanned on my computer, but I think most of you saw in on facebook.  Turned out exactly as I expected...with Scarlett sweet and smiley and Elle freaking out!

The girls played princesses and I had to play tiara referee

Thanksgiving day - We had pigs in a blanket and cinnamon cream cheese bars for breakfast.  Elle wanted to share hers with pink puppy.

Then we went on a nature walk.  Scarlett walked around yelling "I'm in a REAL FOREST!"

Finally time for Thanksgiving dinner.  Thank you Whole Foods for your delicious already prepared foods :o)

As we sat down to eat I remembered back to last year when Elle was just 4 months old and couldn't enjoy any turkey and sides, and realized this was her first real Thanksgiving dinner!  She loved it!

And after Thanksgiving dinner we put up our little tiny Baton Rouge tree.  Elle wouldn't pose for a picture, but she loves her new hiding place!

And then to complete the evening...hot chocolate!

And for the weekend...playing in the rain

And making our gingerbread village.  Elle just yelled for more candy

While Scarlett ate more icing than she put on her house

Finished products!

And finally, the best picture I got of Elle in this dress that I LOVE!
