Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving day at Grandma Neubauer's house this year.

I am very thankful for these 4 little people.

After eating a delicious meal, thanks Joyce, we took a fun nature walk in the woods to the creek.

The boys collected empty clam shells.

I had to carry the baby for most of the hike. Afterwards, we ate pie and watched the Thanksgiving Day parade on TV while the big kids played games with Grandma & Josh.

We also were able to take a family picture for our annual Christmas card but this one is NOT it.

Fall Happenings

Last month Jackson's kindergarten class went on their 1st field trip to Green Meadows Farm. Here's his class.

 

This farm is my favorite place to go in the fall. You can pet and pick up so many different animals.

I've been enjoying my time at home with these two little boys.

Melt my heart, my favorite person to kiss and snuggle.

I cut his hair recently and wish I would have left it long like this.

My mom and brother came to visit last month. We had a great time, especially playing the game Sequence at night. We also got a sitter and went out to eat. And we took the big kids to see a movie.

On a random Sunday, our family made a trip to Milwaukee to visit the Milwaukee Public Museum.

On Nov.11th, we celebrated Aaron's 4th Birthday! This is a classic picture of these two whenever it's one or the other's birthday. They both enjoy eachother's gifts.

Aaron got a bunch of star wars action figures this year.

He was very excited about his gifts.

Grandma Neubauer made another famous ice cream cake. Our neighbors came over for singing and cake. Then Josh and I took Aaron and Addy to Chuck E Cheese to play.

As an early Christmas gift, Grandma and Grandpa Neville gave us a vacation to stay the weekend in Indianapolis. We spent most of the day Saturday at the best Children's Museum I've ever been to. Here's my dad with Benny.

The kids had a blast! In this pictures they are putting together a statue puzzle. Addy looks so grown up.

I asked the kids what their favorite part of our trip was they all said swimming in the hotel pool.

Swimming lessons are paying off. Jackson can float on his back alone and swim pretty good. And all the kids are enjoying water more.

Sunday we met my brother and sister at the zoo. It was awesome weather and great to spend time with family.

I loved this zoo because you could get so close to all the animals. This cheedah made me scream when it took a swipe at Benny.

We went to our first dolphin show. After the zoo, we met my mom and stepdad for lunch and birthday shopping for Addy.

Such a fun weekend. Thanks so much Granmda & Grandpa Neville for a very memoriable Christmas gift!
