Thanksgiving and Ridge's first stitches

Thanksgiving was nice this year. We woke up and we turned on the parade. The kids LOVED it!! We headed to my MIL's house about 12 after I made the mash potatoes and 2 pies and jello. It was to be a small group this year. Just us, Chad and LeMae, Ty and Rachel and Steve and Pat. 

Kids seem to always get these swords and fight every time we come over to my MIL. Its a hit with all the grandkids. That is until someone gets hit.




 Papa took all the kids on a rhino ride and to the park alone. Brave man :)
 While he was gone, we got a text on his way back that there was blood. I guessed immediately that it was Ridge. I thought it was just a small blood like it usually is. Nope, this time it was a pretty good slice across his eye. In fact, it was such a good chunk that we had to do stitches.

 Luckily Uncle Aaron got back into town from his Thanksgiving just in time to help out.

 He ended up with 3 stitches. He did great and is pretty proud of his wound.
 This was him the next day...poor guy was swollen shut

 It was pretty windy the next day so we flew kites.
 Curtis took the kids on rides for hours. Kids couldn't get enough.
 All the guys ended up being here at the same time. Fun to watch them all interact.







Thanksgiving Parties

Here's just the Thanksgiving preschool parties. They were fun. Great way to hit off Thanksgiving holiday. Made these fun hats again. Kids love them


 Someone in the class made these cute turkey oreos. Kids LOVED them

























Cambree's first run

A week after my 1/2 marathon, there was a 5k run for a guy in our valley who passed a year ago. Cambree got to come with me. I was still in a lot of pain so figured we could run the 1 mile together at least. Sara, my SIL is the new owner of Core24 fitness and so had a group of us advertise for her with shirts. It was fun meeting up with my friends and running together.
Cambree was a champ. She was so so cute! She kept telling me "mom you can do it, just a little bit more". She practically ran the entire mile. Then she wasn't done. She wanted to the 5k. So she met up with some of my friends who were running it and ran with them. She loved it and she was so proud of herself.


Here's my MIL and SIL running it in from the mile run.
 Here's one of my good friends Krysta running her first 5k.
 Aubrey and Amber
 Erin who is pregnant by the way...
 Rachel and Taylor!
 After, we all decided to head to Denny's to refuel and warm up....it was FREEZING!!





I'm pretty lucky to have some awesome friends :) And I am so proud of my Cambree for running like she did!
