November Fun

Crazy hair night at Cubbies...both kids had fun with this!
 




Madelynn has some hair...so I had to try a pony.  It didn't stay in longer than a couple seconds but it was still fun.
 


Carter had a Thanksgiving party at preschool and we signed up to bring the dessert.  So we made little turkeys out of candy and cookies.  Carter loved helping me make them and stayed until every last one was made.  It was some fun mommy/Carter time.
 





We stayed for the Thanksgiving party and really enjoyed watching Carter interact and learn.  We are so happy with his preschool!
 



Mixing the cornbread batter for the Thanksgiving feast.
 


We need to work with him on cutting.  We actually gave him his own pair of scissors in his stocking for Christmas so that we could start helping him learn how to cut.  I guess I should get on that...
 


Playing a fun game at his party.
 

Show and tell...
He was supposed to bring something he was thankful for (like a picture of someone).  He brought a picture of him and Max and Emma (our kitties).  Emma died the day after we took the picture of them with Carter.
 


Madelynn even got to enjoy the Thanksgiving feast.
 








These two were working so hard together and drawing pictures.  It was a sweet moment between the two of them.
 



For Christmas we painted some pieces from Create A Memory downtown and gave them to the four Grandma's.  The kids did really well.  I only snapped two pictures.  This one was a Christmas tree that Carter chose for Grandma with tractors (Jay's stepmom in Iowa).  I got so busy helping them paint and keeping the paint where it was suppose to be there I forgot to take anymore pictures :(  Fail.
 


More swim lessons...we did a lot more lessons during the fall.
 


Helping daddy hang Grandma's Christmas lights on Thanksgiving...and giving mommy a heart attack.
 


Silly face on Thanksgiving...another fail.  I only took a couple pictures on Thanksgiving.  We had dinner at my mom's this year with some of the family on her side.  It was a nice afternoon...and then we went shopping late that night.  We were able to have my cousin Carrie stay with the kids while they slept and Jay, Craig, and I shopped till about midnight.  It was fun and we got some great deals for Christmas presents!
