Well, this was my weekend to get stuff ready for Christmas. Instead we installed new counter tops! Kitchen is 90% done-we should be done by Christmas! Just in time! 

Ok, time to get my but in gear and order the kiddos some presents!

 After 

Just enjoying time with the kiddos. Two more weeks of school/work and then we are all off for two weeks. CAN NOT WAIT!! 

This weekend we went to the Christmas concert at church (my kids are not good at being quiet...so kind of a bust), drove around looking at Christmas lights, Breakfast with Santa and service project and lots of play dough. 

Already counting down the days until next weekend! :) 

 pancakes! 

Happy Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for this year! 

We had a great break with the kids. Spent a lot of time dancing, running around the house and having movie nights on the air mattress. 

Time to start getting ready (stress free) for Christmas. We are keeping it all simple this year and trying to enjoy our extra time together. 

 He is too cute!

 Watching Mickey!

 Date night! 

 Em and Mommy! 

 Blippi (AKA Danny) came to Thanksgiving! Jordan was out of his mind excited!

Kiddos are doing well. Jordan has a bit of a cold, so hoping it clears up before Thanksgiving (and that no one else gets it!). One day work week for me and 2 days for Em and Chris. Wahoo! Can't wait for time together! 

 Piling on Daddy who was gone at the football came all Sunday.

And he's down for the count!

 Crazy kiddos! 

Em made her first reconciliation this weekend. She was a bit nervous, but did great. One step closer to making her first communion! Other highlights from the weekend included her play date with Cadence and decorating Christmas trees at the assisted living home. 

Chris and I worked on our next home project (always a project!). A fold down banquet for our dining room. It turned out really well! 

Jordan is just cute, so he spent his weekend being cute. :) He is absolutely at the age where all he does is as questions ALL OF THE TIME! Usually by about 7pm I tell him I can't answer any more questions (which his immediate response is "Why?"). He is lucky is is so darn adorable! 

Last full week before Thanksgiving! YAY!!
