Best Buds

This is how I found Hadley and her cousin Brody watching a movie the other day. She totally adores him and the fact that he's letting her tells his side of it. Then later I found all three of them like this on the couch. They all just love playing together. (I'm using the term "playing" very losely of course--but being couch potatoes together counts, right?)

First Snow!!!

Last night when Hadley was saying her prayers she asked that she would have a good time playing in the snow tomorrow. When she was done, I said "How do you know there's going to be snow tomorrow?" She looked at me with a 'duh, mom' look and said, "It's the first day of December tomorrow!" I told her that didn't mean anything and to not get her hopes up. Well we woke up to a few inches of snow! I guess her faith was rewarded...

As you can see, Seth didn't much care for it.

The First Thanksgiving

We joined two other families a few weeks ago and had a "First Thanksgiving Feast." We did it the week before Thanksgiving. I grumbled a little about it for a few days beforehand because I was so busy and didn't feel like doing it, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. It created a great memory for the kids. Our friend Jayme made up a script and David portrayed the governor of Plimoth Colony (yes I meant to spell it that way) and the other two dads portrayed the Indian leaders who were there. It was cute. We all made some old recipes from the Plimoth Colony website and then had a few more modern dishes mixed in (hurray for Costco pecan pie!).
