Thanksgiving Day

The gingerbread party was on Thanksgiving I just realized, so here's the rest of the day! The three boys all had matching outfits so we changed them and went outside to play for awhile. It was a beautiful day but it had just been raining so the leaves were all wet. They didn't play in them very long before moving to something else, and I was really wanting to get some pictures in the leaves! Oh well, our leaves at home are dropping so hopefully we can get out and play in them soon.

Here's cutie pie Ben.

Elizabeth and Emma in their matching outfits.



Not a great picture but I wanted to show how cute my mom's little playhouse in the back was decorated for Christmas! They were having fun serving eachother.

Here's cutie pie Evan!


They were having so much fun chasing each other in the backyard.

They were having lots of fun walking back and forth on the "bridge" and Jackson got really brave and walked across. As he was walking back over the bridge he of course fell in and got his cute outfit all muddy. He cried and cried and kept saying "I dirty! Yucky!" Yes, it was yucky.

Thank goodness I brought him another outfit, even if it wasn't anything special. Here he is waiting for dinner. Aren't the hats adorable?

Here's Cooper waiting for dinner!


Then it was present time. We exchange Christmas presents with our cousins while they're in town for Thanksgiving.

The hit for the boys was definitely these light sabers. They all LOVED them.


My mom got my dad an electric train to run around the tree this year and they all were enraptured by it! Evan especially LOVES trains so he was very excited about it.


I thought this picture of Emma and her daddy (Jim) was so sweet.




So then we left and went to bed! Next up was the peppermint party and the Polar Express!

:( a muddy, cute outfit. Oh wait, I was informed that boys don't wear "outfits." Whatever. You called them outfits so, yay!

I digress. Love the playhouse... lots to be thankful for that day too!
