Project 365, Week 48

Thanksgiving is one of the tops for me...I love sliding into the holiday season!

November 25

We stepped out to a glorious morning!

Project leaf cleanup. The kids were so excited! :)

The next day was the front yard.

I love catching glimpses of the girls being friends...I hope they become inseparable in high school like my sister and I did. Lifelong friends!

Ummmmm...Aiden is almost always pacing or otherwise on the move when we study JBQ questions. Apparently that's how he does his best thinking. Makes me laugh!

Happy 13th Birthday to Amanda...a gift from the beginning.

The kids had a half day, which worked out nicely. I had a ton of prep to do for Thanksgiving the next day, so Shaun took Amanda and Avery and two friends to see Frozen 2, at her request.

It was an evening at home as family gathered.

Our First Annual Thanksgiving Day Family (and friends and neighbors) Fun Run. The course was one loop around the neighborhood, a little less than one mile. Costumes welcome.

At the start line we sang the national anthem with the neighbor's American flag and then the runners were off!

Fans braved the cold wind.

We coordinated by accident.

This might have been my first-ever, at least in a very long time, Black Friday outing. The holes in our furniture fabric grow weekly and its really time to find the replacements. The girls came to help be moral support and decorating advisors.

Funny!

When we got back, there was a poker game in full swing!

And then we hung the tinsel and the lights. :)

And Shaun helped Amanda "fluff". :)

Phase II.

We spent the afternoon at Sarah and Tony's, enjoying the house they just remodeled and moved into.
It was nice and relaxing. All the adults sat around the living room and talked and laughed...it was lovely.

December 1
It started snowing and the snow pants and sleds were out in a flash!
