So there was supposed to have been a Thanksgiving post as well at least. Now that it's almost Christmas, I should probably get around to it. We keep busy with all of the monkeys...
We all had a great time with family on Thanksgiving. It was great to see everyone and spend time together. The kids especially enjoyed having so many people to play with.
Ezra had a lot of people to listen to his stories.
He even had more people to do puzzles with him.
Both of the kids loved playing with the piano.
Ezra got great-grandpa to play games with him.
Emma got a cute new hat from grandma.
We got to play at the park.
And we even played in the back yard a bit, as long as Ezra was where the dog couldn't get to him. I guess a dog as tall as you are trying to play with you would be a bit disconcerting.
Like any trip, it wasn't all fun and games the whole time, but that's part of life too.
Apparently, Ezra gets car sick. Knowing that, we should be a bit better prepared for future long car trips.
When we got home we put the tree up. The kids have liked it, though the presents are all in a pile in our room instead of under the tree so that Emma doesn't get any ideas about opening them before Christmas. Ezra is pretty excited about Christmas this year.
It is fun to see the kids' reactions to the lights and Ezra asking how many more days until Christmas fairly often.
As the holidays come upon us, it makes me realize more and more how blessed we really are, and I am thankful for that.
