Santa Visit

My mom, my sister, myself & all our kiddos made our annual trip to the mall to see Santa. It was a bit early this year due to school schedules & such but we worked it out. We make a day of it, letting the kids play on the playground, ride the mechanical rides, eat mall food, ride the train which was MIA this year, visit Santa & have lunch.  We get lots of looks with 5 little kids in tow but we have a great time always!

Thanksgiving 2015

We celebrated Thanksgiving a couple days late, it was our year (we alternate) to celebrate with Donna's parents & my bonus mom but because Donna had to work Friday after Thanksgiving Day & we couldn't leave town we postponed it until Saturday.

On actual Thanksgiving Day I put a pot roast in the crock pot & we spent the day putting up the Christmas tree & just relaxing. Friday I scurried around doing last minute laundry, packing for the weekend & black friday shopping online. As soon as Donna got home from work we loaded everyone, including the pup pups & kitty cats, up & hit the road.

First thing Saturday morning Donna headed out to pick up an early Christmas gift for her parents. Their swing had broken & she found a beautiful one to replace it with. 

The gorgeous new swing!

Once Donna got back we all headed out to her parent's place for the day. Her mom made an amazing Thanksgiving dinner. My bonus mom brought her delicious sweet potatoes & I provided a green veggie & a side I knew the boys would eat (they are still kind of funny about trying new or different things) We had a great day of visiting, eating, watching a little football & letting the boys run wild!

Soccer

The boys started soccer again, this time it's with a non competitive group that meets right at their school. They're focus is on teaching the skills of the game & their coach says they are naturals. If they are loving it & want to, we'll sign them up with the county team in the spring.
