Thanksgiving Fun

A couple of days before Thanksgiving, we invited Fiona, Emma and Jake over for a couple of crafts.  We made oreo turkeys and handprint turkeys.  Grady was a maniac and had to be "restrained" in his seat because he was attempting to eat the turkeys in progress.  I am pretty sure everyone had their weeks worth of sugar that afternoon!

Thanksgiving morning, Addie, Grady and I particpated in a turkey trot that Kristin organized.  Addie rode her bike the first mile and then took turns jogging with me and my mom and riding in the stroller.  It was  a great way to get in a little exercise before the beg meal!

Addie ready to go!

We were in Del Rio for Thanksgiving and had a great time with Bryan's family.  We ate entirely too much food and watched a lot of football!  On Friday, we met up with my brother's fiance and went shopping for her wedding dress!  We were lucky to find a beautiful dress here in Del Rio as well as dresses for Addie, Kristin and me!  We had a wonderful weekend and are so thankful for all of our family and friends!



Day on Base

We had a Moms Club event at Laughlin Airforce Base earlier in the month.  We went on a tour of the base and then headed to a hanger where the kids could touch and climb all over the planes.  Addie skipped school that day to join us and bothshe and Grady had a wonderful time!  A bus picked us up at the hanger and took us to the simulator building.  We took turns going into the simulator... my favorite part by far!  Addie loved it as well and helped me as we had the chance to land our T6!  Grady did not like the simulator and was out before we even got started.  We ended our visit with a picnic lunch at a park on base....we love our base friends and feel so lucky to get to be a part of experiences like this!
