Today we gathered at my mom's house for a beautiful Thanksgiving feast. Seriously, the food was a to die for!! Although the food was great, the best part about this gathering was being with family. All of my siblings (minus one) were present with their spouses and kids. After an early dinner we headed outside for a walk around Balboa Island. After our walk we came back and enjoyed awesome Pumpkin Pie (thank you Costco). We have so much to be thankful for!!
Today was "Indian" day for 3rd grade. There were four stations that the students got to visit- hunting, gathering, games and trade/barter. I was able to volunteer and really enjoyed watching Nathan and his classmates experience a different culture, time and way of life. Happy Thanksgiving!
...or is that winter? It sure feels cold enough to be a Southern California winter right now and I love it. I love bundling up in warm clothes and feeling the cold air on my face and smelling all the wonderful smells that come with the season.
Just got a new iMac. The old laptop was crawling along and so we decided to get a desktop computer since I never took the "laptop" off the desk. It is so sleek and fast! I love Apple!
It's that time of year for fun Fall projects at school. This one for Jason was a family project. I should have taken a picture of the turkey before it was decorated, but it is much more interesting now.
We went around the neighborhood and found things from nature. Thank goodness for hot glue guns- they make everything stick!!
Everyone pitched in to decorate the turkey. I am so pleased with how it turned out. It reminded me a bit of the Rose Parade and how they create beautiful floats out of things found in nature!
Check out my handsome boy!!
Nathan and his buddy, Pasquale~
"Don't I look cute?"
"Chloe is so cute"
"My mom is the best"
"My guys are so cozy!"
"Nathan building a ship"
"I love my mommy"
"Me and my dad snuggling"
"My mom is so coo-coo"
"Look at my cool ship!"
"Okay, bye for now!"
I was able to choose the color and style too which is awesome. We went with a distressed, laminate product and the color is called "African Teak". The installers came this afternoon and finished before dinner time. We love our new floor- even if Chloe slides all over the place!
We need a rug near the couch and then the room will be complete. The color of the floor brings such a warmth to the room that it was lacking before! I wish we would have done it years ago, but I am so thankful that it is done now!!
