Thanksgiving Fun

-
 It's that busy, fun time of year we call the holiday season.  For Thanksgiving this year I had all sorts of fun finding all of the people and activities I am thankful for in my life. 

It wouldn't be the holidays if we didn't fill them with tradition and family, so here are just a few fun events that have become tradition for our family during this time if gratitude and abundance. 
John and I had lots of fun joining Owen for a special Thanksgiving lunch at Trooper school.  Thanksgiving lunch is way better when served with fun friends and donuts wholes.  :) I just love spending time with this little man who loves with his whole heart his family. 
John, Owen, Dustin, and I also got to have a Thanksgiving lunch with Maeve at school.  As an added bonus Maeve's kindergarten class was having their annual Bison hunt and Native American celebration day at the same time. We had fun learning some interesting things about Native Americans and running wild across the playground in search of our mighty, colorful bison.  I just love the energy and joy of this little girl.

Check out how many friends we can drive around in our new party van! Awesome!!
And of course, it wouldn't be a break from school if we didn't fill it with fun family field trips.  This year we headed to the Houston Museum of Fine Arts with our friends the Vudarri family, a beautiful walk in the Autumn foliage at the local Nature preserve, and a yummy turkey dinner with our friends the Vilas Boas family.

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
