We had a great Thanksgiving with cousins!
Always fun to see Dane and Quinn!
We hosted the meal at our house which meant we had some cleaning to do. Sydney helped me with the windows.
Her new thing is making a heart with her hands when she takes pictures. She is the sweetest!
And, speaking of sweet, how great is this? Maddie's teacher wrote a card for every kid AND wrote on their desk in marker, so when they arrived on Wednesday, they had a note letting them know how thankful she was for them. We have some AMAZING teachers this year!
Madeline and Emerson got to guest-read to Sydney's class at school (Emerson's brother is also in there with Sydney) as a surprise and both of my girls thought it was so much fun. Maddie loved surprising her sissy and Sydney felt like big stuff with her big sister coming to visit!
After Thanksgiving, it was right into Christmas mode. Sydney couldn't wait to wear her Santa hat headband.
We've been trying to expand Sydney's diet. She is an all chicken finger and macaroni kind of gal. I haven't been too worried because Maddie was the same way and she now has pretty decent variety. BUT, we got Sydney to try meatballs the other day and she loved them! No spaghetti yet, but she did eat up 2 big meatballs so I considered that a win!
Daddy wasn't home that night so we got a little wacky at dinner.
We love playing games in our house and our new love is Life. The girls are obsessed with this one. Sydney always wants to be the doctor and Maddie the teacher.
The first weekend in December and we had an unseasonably warm day. The girls had a blast running around the zoo.
We stopped on the way home for some cookies from Heitzman's. YUMMY!
It won't be long now - it's almost Christmas! We have a very special surprise planned for the girls this year!
