Turkey Trot & Thanksgiving

We kicked off Thanksgiving with Preston at his school for their Thanksgiving lunch and it was extra special because Brent was able to come. Preston was beyond excited to see his mommy and daddy at his school during the day. He pretty much had a smile on his face the entire time we were there. I loved every minute of it. 

This Thanksgiving marked our 4th Turkey Trot with the Turkey Trot gang and I love that we have continued with this tradition. It just gets everything off to such a fun and excited start and really gets you into the holiday spirit. Even though I have been training for my first half marathon, I decided to take it easy and walk the 5K with everyone. It was cold but not bitterly cold, so that was nice.

This year, we spent Thanksgiving with John and Kathy and Preston had a great time playing with his cousins on Kathy's side of the family. He doesn't get to see or play with them very often so its always nice when we get the opportunity to spend time with them. This also gave Kathy the perfect opportunity to take a family photo and take a picture with all her grandkids for their Christmas card this year. She knitted Mason and Preston a red scarf and made matching outfits for the girls and then gave them christmas lights to string around her and John for their photo. Kathy is soo creative and it came out soo cute.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Play Date with Triston

Sue invited Preston and I for a fun play-date with her and Triston at their house and we had an absolute BLAST!! Sue and I ran that morning in the trails by her house and then met back up with the boys at Chick-fil-a. Preston and I have never done a play-date before and I was a little nervous how Preston would do. He plays with the kids in his class but he doesn't get to play one-on-one very often with my friends kiddos but he did great and made a new friend with Triston.

After chick-fil-a, Sue and I took the boys to Hobby Lobby to pick out a fun Christmas craft to do and after searching the isles the boys decided on a wooden Christmas tree with paint and glitter and green pom poms on the side.

We drove back to Sues and after getting both the boys a glass of milk, it was time to get crafting. Sue set up a table for them and the boys got right to it. They did soo good sharing and taking turns with the paint dots and glitter. Preston was soo proud of his Christmas tree that when we headed home, he held onto it the entire car ride home and told me he wanted to show his Christmas tree to Daddy.

After finishing their Christmas trees, the boys played upstairs in the playroom and then finished the day with a snack on the couch. 

Preston and me too took a long nap that afternoon and then talked about our fun day with Sue and Triston when we got up.

Thanks Sue for inviting us over!! We had soo much FUN!!
