We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week -- full of friends and family! Starting on Friday, we were invited to Max's Thanksgiving program at his day care. He was a pilgrim this year, and his hat stole the show!
Max and his best bud, chilling after the show!
On Saturday we got to keep Max all day while his parents had some business to take care of. Oh the fun we had! He just loves "Mimi's House." Straight out of the car, he ran to the treehouse! Grumpy and his dad were with him out there, so I don't have any pictures. 😟 Then Max and I went to the library. He had so much fun there....
...playing with the floor cushions....
...playing on the library playground....
...looking at all the books and decorations...and we even read a few books and did some puzzles! Nap time after lunch!
Then some fun time with Grumpy, driving all over the property. Max loves riding on the donkey!
We three went out to eat at the buffet before taking Max home for the night. Such a fun day!
On Tuesday we got to keep KT and Joss for the day, so we took the opportunity to take them to Fredericksburg for the day. We love, love, love Fredericksburg during the holidays - so much fun wandering the streets there. Of course, the girls found plenty to get excited about....
...candy store, rocking in the chairs on the sidewalks...
...shopping in the Christmas Store, in Dooley's 5 & Dime, and eating lunch at Wheeler's....
....and then playing on their playground for a while before heading home. We may have stopped for a Dairy Queen treat in Comfort on the way home! Then just having fun around the place until it was time for the girls to go home. Another fun day!
Wednesday I cooked for the holiday, making a sweet potato dish, and some Turkey cookies for the kids. I tried my hand at Royal icing, and discovered that I need several more icing tools before I'll try that again! ha! It was fun, and it really takes practice and the right food coloring, for sure! Oh well, they tasted fine!
We had Thanksgiving at Colleen & Jeff's house this year - she used her Granny Gwen's china for the first time. It was so pretty, I had forgotten what it looked like - it's been in a box for many years. Jeff's mom and dad were here, too, and we had a wonderful lunch.
We played Thanksgiving Bingo after lunch while the guys watched some football.
The competition was on for those Rolos!
We had a great day. Time for a nap!
