I decided to start the tradition of giving the family an ornament on Thanksgiving day instead of Christmas Eve. That way everyone can enjoy the ornament during the season. The kids were excited to get a present on Thanksgiving.
I've never ran in a Turkey trot before so this year I thought I would try it since my family was doing it in California. I'm glad my friend wanted to do it too. There were alot more hills than I thought but we made it.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with some friends. It was nice to relax and enjoy the day together. The children played and made some fun crafts.
Brynn got so excited that it was snowing that she just ran outside and played in it.
We had so much fun making our gingerbread houses the day after Thanksgiving. We do them every year and the kids love choosing candy out of the bins at the store.
It amazes me how fast Kamren can go through shoes. I've tried all different kinds of brands and they seem to wear out about the same. I wasn't paying attention to his shoes and then I saw they had holes in them. Who knows how long he has been playing in them with holes. The holes didn't even phase him. He definitely gets good use out of his shoes.
Every year we have a tradition to make something for our neighbors. This year we shared our favorite hot cocoa recipe. It's so fun to have something warm on those cold winter days.
My sweet friend just sent me this knitted hat made with love. I love Andrew in it and we will definitely get good use out of it. He stills loves to eat everything. He is now 20 lbs. and has 8 teeth!
Today we saw Mrs. Claus and enjoyed doing some crafts.
They loved talking to Santa and telling him what they wanted for Christmas.
Our neighbors invited us over this year to paint cookie shape ornaments. The girls loved to put glitter on them and Kam and the boys enjoyed playing with legos more.
The girls loved sledding today along with just playing in the snow. It was such beautiful weather.
Kamren loved building a fort. Kevin took this picture and I love how it turned out. It makes want to play in the snow.
Brynn loves to take the wipes and dust around the house. She really loves to clean. She is so nice to have around.
Ashleigh told me that she wrapped up baby Jesus (Andrew) in the blanket. She loves to play nativity.

I'm so thankful that you have the blog. I feel like I would totally lose touch with you otherwise. I miss you. Glad to hear your family is doing well.
You've been a busy girl!!! I look forward to seeing you soon!!!
The shoes are great. I have an idea that Quentin told me about. If you buy Nike or Adidas ( I think) if the soles wear out before two or three years they will replace them for free they don't even have to be the same size. I would talk with Q and he can give you more information because he used to to this all the time with basketball shoes. I hope that this is helpful and will save you some money. I am getting a little worried with how expensive boy's things are so I can imagine that you are probably feeling like you don't want to have to make a category in your budget each month for Kameran some shoes!!!!
Tell Brynn she is welcome to come clean at my house anytime.
Andrew makes a cute baby Jesus.
