Thanksgiving Break!!

Ryan and the kids had the whole week off. We took advantage and caught up on lots of projects. First, Holden (finally) lost his first tooth. It has been loose for a while now but did not want to come out. On November 15th we were brushing his teeth and it felt pretty loose so I gave it a big tug and out it came. He was VERY excited to loose it. The tooth fairy was very generous and left him $10. We told him it was because that was his first tooth
 the first project we worked on was redoing Holden's room. He wanted a Star Wars theme. He got a new bed and I painted the walls 
 beginning our painting project 


 a few Star Wars pictures 


 I painted our laundry room too. I was really sick of the bright walls and wanted a change 

 new sign
 I am going to put some shelves on this wall 
 big difference from bright orange and blue
 I took Holden and Sadie to Red Robbin for lunch while daddy and Maddie went on a hike

 hanging out with our friends Megan and Garrett

 With Ryan being off I was able to go for a run in the mornings. I am loving these cooler mornings and all the colors of the trees....that's about as fall as we get around here

 our elf came back!!!! Snowflake arrived on Thanksgiving morning. He hid some puzzles in the closet for the kids to build

 the kids were so excited to see Snowflake again
 On Friday we decorated for Christmas

Veterans Day Parade

The girls marched in the first parade of their cheer season on Veterans Day. They both enjoyed it so much. The parade was about  a 3 mile stretch so they had a nice little workout and I was so happy that that they did so well
