HAPPY THANKSGIVING
We were happy that the Greys braved California traffic and a blown out tire to come see us.
We had fun playing board games with the Greys and Grandpa. Jonathan dominated when it came to chess, and Grandpa beat everyone at Scrabble.
Grandma was sweet and read and played with Brooklyn and Audrey.
Grandparents and grandkids and the Thanksgiving feast. The meal was vegan, but we had all the traditional food minus the turkey. We also had a giant bowl of pomegranates that were a big hit.
The weather was nice enough that we were able to eat outside on the new patio Jared built. The kids also enjoyed running around on the new sod Jared put in just two days before Thanksgiving.
Eating pie!
We had fun watching the Hobbit and some edited Back to the Future movies together.
Brooklyn with our Thankful tree.
Nathan and Grandpa did a puzzle together.
FRIENDSGIVING
We had a fun homeschool friendsgiving activity. Audrey enjoyed doing a puppet show of the first Thanksgiving.
PIANO RECITAL
Abby and Maddy went to a nearby retirement center and performed many of the songs that they've been working on since the pandemic started.
They each performed five solo pieces and played a duet together. Their final number was a trio they played with their teacher. Abby and Maddy did a wonderful job on all their pieces.
The girls with their amazing teacher Amanda West.
BUILDING A GINGERBREAD HOUSE
We've been trying to replace a lot of our unhealthy traditions with healthier ones, so when we saw that LEGO sold this darling Gingerbread house, we had to get it. Building this house every year will be one of our new Christmas traditions.
MESA TEMPLE
We had the awesome opportunity to tour the Mesa Temple before it gets rededicated.
FUN AT HOME
Audrey made this cute surprise ball for Brooklyn.
