Thanksgiving 2016

Updates on Clifton -
He missed school this week because he complained of leg pain so bad he couldn't walk.  This kid loves school and hates to miss so I have a hard time thinking he was faking, maybe being a little dramatic.  Anyway after medicine and lots of messaging he was ok, walking funny but ok.  Then a few nights later he woke up in the middle of the night screaming about leg pain.  I think it is just growing pains but poor guy!

Updates on McKay -
Had a big surprise for her this week and she is in heaven!

Updates on Stanley -
Finally says Clifton and McKay's names, they aren't mommy and daddy anymore.

This week Alex took extra days off just to spend more time with us.

We couldn't be happier to have more Daddy time.

Tuesday we met Aunt Rebecca, Julia, and Grandma P in Tacoma to play and eat yummy treats.

Then we took Grandma P home with us.

When we got home I got to go help in Clifton's class.

I love being able to help out.

Then that night Grandma is awesome and watched the kids so Alex and I could go to the Sounders playoff game.

 And we won!!!!  Western Conference Champs, here we come MLS Cup.

Occidental street is so pretty lit up!

The next day we meet up with Grandpa P at a restaurant to give him Grandma back :)

Priming the pump.

Teaching the kids how to blow the straw paper off and at Grandpa :)

Thursday was Thanksgiving!

A great day with our loved ones!

Friday I went black Friday shopping in the early afternoon and decided to jump on board with the humane society black Friday deal of free animals.  We have been wanting to get McKay a kitten for her birthday and decided this was a good time to get one.  It ended up being a lot longer process than excepted, 4 hours and a lot of worrying I wasn't going to be able to get a kitten.  But it all worked out!

I was so excited to surprise her.  She had no idea!

Instant best friends!  McKay decided to name her Treasure.

This little kitten has brought us so much joy its crazy.  We all just love her to pieces and she seems to feel the same way.

Stanley pretending to be the kitty in the box I bought her home in.  Silly boy!

McKay playing with Treasure. "What if her paws are cold?"

Best kitty ever!

Saturday was the annual Ladies Turkey Bowl.

 Even the rain wouldn't scare away this awesome ladies (and a couple men for QB)

Man it was fun and muddy!

After a long hot shower we got Christmas stuff out and got decorating.

 Since we looked at buying this house I have wanted to decorate this tree outside!  Its the perfect Christmas tree.

I love the Holidays.  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
We then ended the night with our friends, Carters, coming over for dinner and playing.

Sunday bake day!

Stanley is really into it these days.
