Twas The Day Before Thanksgiving



Lucy Thanksgiving Feast included making LOTS of pigs in a blanket...which was so fun making with all the kids!





I also got to participate in Carlie's Thanksgiving party, which was lots of smiles and lots of sugar.





This last picture was Lucy's actual smile when they lit up the Santa Claus! Priceless!

What a fun "Day Before Thanksgiving"! I started out the morning helping in Lucy's class for their Thanksgiving Feast. I just love Lucy's teacher, and helping her is always fun.

Then onto Carlie's classroom party. We raced with popcorn on spoons, cut out turkeys and ate Brownie Cupcakes. Lucy also had the opportunity to participate in this party, and thought she was big stuff running with the big kids!

Then onto the Downtown Santa Lighting. We started this tradition a few years ago when the kids were old enough to bear the cold! We started out with dinner at Toscani's - which the kids love because they get to play with dough while waiting for their food. Then B&D had a kid friendly holiday party to kick off the holidays. Lots of cookies, sweets and hot chocolate for all. I think the best part of it is watching the girl's faces as the crowd starts to count down and then the whole side of the building is lit up with thousands of lights. They oohh'd and ahh'd over everything. On the way home, Carlie even said, "this has been the best night, thanks for taking us mommy and daddy." Again, priceless.

I had so much fun seeing you guys this weekend. Carlie is just getting too big and fun to joke around with. I love it. They are at such a fun age. I can't wait until Stella is old enough to go downtown! It sounds so much fun.
