A local church adopted Hannah's school and they put on a carnival at the beginning of the month. I have zero pictures, but we had lots of fun. The girls enjoyed hot dogs, lots of games, and both won a small stuffed animal. We had a great time and are very thankful for all the church volunteers.
We've spent most of our weekends at the park or riding bikes at the school. So thankful for the cooler weather.
Hannah had the whole week of Thanksgiving off school so take took off work too. We usually spend our "stay-cations" hangout out at home and playing. This year we packed in lots of family activities. It was busy, but so much fun. I love spending time together at home but it was nice to make lots of fun family memories.
We started off the week by going to the zoo. Trying to get a few more visits in before our membership expires in the spring. The weather was perfect and it wasn't crowded. We rode the monorail, watched the young mandrill and chimp jumping and playing. And we got to see the zoo's new baby elephant. So cute!!
We did our annual Christmas card photo session with my mom and got several really cute photos. And she got them edited quickly so I was able to take advantage of a sale on cards. They are ordered and already on their way to my house. Yeah me!!! I will post my favs in next month's update. We spent Thanksgiving day with my parents and sister. The girls got to play at the school playground and take a walk to the college to feed turtles in addition to eating yummy food. We had a nice relaxing day together.
Friday we had a friend's birthday party in the morning at a bounce house place. There was hardly anyone else there, it was nice to have the place to ourselves. Then we grabbed a quick lunch and headed to Six Flags for Holiday in the Park. We hoped that most people would be shopping and were glad to find that must have been the case. There were WAY less people there than normal. We had lots of fun and even got to do the Frosty Snowhill which was cool. They cover a hill with real snow and give you sleds to slide down on. It was really fun. There was Christmas music playing all day long and tons of beautiful lights. It was a great day.
While we were at Six Flags, my friend Jamie texted me that her neighbor had won 4 ticket vouchers to Disney on Ice. Jamies's dad had already bought them tickets so she wanted to know if we wanted them. I sent Nathan to the box office as soon as they opened on Saturday to exchange our tickets. There were 3 show times left that worked with our schedule and thankfully we were able to get our first choice. The show was truly amazing! They girls were enthralled and Nathan and I enjoyed too. Such a fun opportunity!! They encouraged kids to come dressed in costume so we pulled out our dress up box and went as Princess Elsa and Princess Tiana.
