Thanksgiving Week

We had a super fun week back in Houston for the Thanksgiving holiday. We had a full table of 16 for turkey and sides! It is always so nice for Hayden to see aunts, uncles, and cousins he can't see regularly. We were also able to go visit some of Greg's cousins who live in the area. We had lots of fun times, and of course some good shopping!

Busy with the Thanksgiving cookies...don't try to offer help with the sprinkles. All four trays were for Hayden to decorate!

Happy Thanksgiving!

On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, we drove out to College Station to visit Santa's Wonderland. I highly recommend it if you live in the Houston area or are ever nearby during the holiday season. It is a huge drive through light show. There is also a village area with shops, music, animals, and food! Santa was also there, but we were not ready to visit him yet :-)

This is Texas after all!

We went on the hayride through the park instead of in the car...a must!

Lots of lights.

"Snow" in the village!

Indulging Hayden's love of petting zoos and pony rides!

The 'Elf on the Shelf' made his debut this year. While I don't' think he is fully grasping the concept, but he does like to read the book and look for the elf in the mornings. He does though fully understand the Advent calendar, especially the one after dinner with chocolate!
