We had a lot of leftover vegetables from the veggie tray at Thanksgiving and I was trying to think of fun ways to use them up. One night I made a delicious stir fry. Too bad that was one of the nights Ryan wasn't home for dinner. On the bright side, more for me and more leftoever though.
Jonathan has had ear infections on and off for the last couple months (those $25 copay every 2 weeks are getting old) and recently hasn't been sleeping well. Sunday morning everyone else was ready to head to church but I decided to stay behind and wait for Jonathan to wake up on his own instead of pulling him out of bed. I would normally pull him out of bed at 8:30 for 9am church. He slept until 10:20! I'm glad he got his much needed rest and am hoping he will become a little sleeper.
I love walking by the top of the stairs and being able to see this glittering tree. After nearly 8 years of marriage, we finally bit the bullet and bought an full size expensive tree. I love it.
Thanksgiving morning I started the day with an 8 mile run. There is a trail near our house that I wanted to try out, but didn't want to do in the dark. From our house to the end of the trail and back it was 8.03 miles. Perfect. I took Jonathan with me in the BOB and still ran a 8:41 pace which I was excited about.
Kherington's Kindergarten class put on a little Thanksgiving performance and invited their parents to attend. They made Pilgrims and Indians costumes then learned a couple different songs. The kids were asked to wear jean which was quite the battle with Kherington (in hindsight I should have just let her wear jean jeggings). As one of the smallest kids between all 3 Kindergarten classes she was front and center.
Kevin and Kherington were super excited to head to the dentist again. It makes a big difference to have a fun office. Their appointments were at 11:30 and noon and we were walking out of the office at 12:05. Even if they didn't already love the place, punctuality alone would keep me coming back.
The kids had picture takes on their teeth and then got to wear cool sunglasses while their teeth were cleaned. Both were cavity free. They loved the little goodie bag complete with stickers.
We helped celebrate Gavin's 3rd birthday (Heidi's little boy). Heidi did an awesome job putting it together with a frozen theme. There some of the food included ice skating rink jello, melted snowmen (yogurt with choco chips), string cheese snowmen. She also had themed games including a snowball toss, pin the nose on Olaf and 'Can you build a Snowman?'. It was awesome. Kherington was the snowman in her group...she was definitely the best one. It was definitely a party fun for all ages.
