Gobble gobble

This Thanksgiving we celebrated with grandma, grandpa, Kim, Mike, Nick, and Olivia. We had yummy food, fun times, silly dinner utensils, gingerbread houses, and flashlight hide and seek. And Quorra had her own private dance party.

The lighting of the courthouse

Today Bloomington held its annual celebration welcoming the holidays and Santa with hot cocoa, spiced cider, roasted chestnuts, carolers, the lighting of the courthouse, and an appearance by St. Nick himself. Wintery fun times.

And the winter fun continued at home. :)

The last of the leaves

Today we finally decided to clear the fallen leaves from our lawn. Before they all made their way to the compost piles in the woods (many of which are now overflowing!- see below) North and Quorra got in 1 last jump. 

Snugly Saturdays

Each Saturday night it seems both kids end up snuggling into our bed for some sleep. I rarely think to snap any photos but did today. 

Push pop

North spent most of the week at grandma and grandpa's (who babysat while he was sick). He got home tonight and we celebrated with dinner and push pops. 

Saturday

Today has been a particularly fun Saturday for North. He had a basketball game with his friends Jack and Nathan, Nana and Grandad showed up, then everyone (including Harrison) came over to play at our house. As soon as everyone went home he dressed up as a ninja.
