Thanksgiving highlights!

What a sweet Thanksgiving week we had. The kids had ALL week off from school. It had some trying moments with one major mouth washing out episode, but the overall week was absolutely wonderful.

School ended with parties of thanks. Many Indians and Pilgrims graced the walls of our house after the art made it to our home. Betsy's class had Bugles as cornucopias.

After Stephens' Party (above with baby Lanah) we went to McDonald's to wait for Samuel's party...

We went to Riverside Park the first day for a picnic. They saw a stage and all took their cue to have a dance party! The second picture is Betsy teaching Stephens some ballet.



The next day we went to the science museum where there were fun crafts planned for the kids. The first picture is Betsy and Stephens making turkey call necklaces with yarn, beads, feathers and coffee stirrers.

Mickey enjoyed his "bear" back ride :)

This is one of Lanah's first trips down the treehouse slide.


The kids helped me decorate two turkey cookie cakes for Thanksgiving festivities. Too bad we forgot the one to take to Hattiesburg...
While we were in Hattiesburg all the little boys and Betsy went to the theatre to see "Cinderella" - sweet show. Needless to say Betsy loved the show and the other boys liked it too - especially Samuel: he really got into the action of live actors on stage. I think he will be a little performer :)
