Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving in Moscow, as we have every year we've been in Washington and it's great fun for us. This year the girls loved having their cousins Drew, Jessi, Kassi, Nathan, Easton, Sydney and Kendall to play with. YouTube on mom's phone was a popular activity (below). 


 Ahhh.

Nothing more fun than a big pile of leaves!


Making gingerbread houses at the church. The girls had SO much fun doing this but were a little bummed that we left the gingerbread house in Moscow before they could eat it!

One of the fun traditions we've begun after Thanksgiving is stopping in Leavenworth on our way home from Idaho. Leavenworth is a mountain town that's adopted a "Bavarian" theme and is completely decked out for Christmas. We call it the Christmas Village. We stop at some shops, usually "Kris Kringle" to find an ornament and then also find a place to get hot chocolate. Norah loves ornament shopping. It's the ONLY thing that makes her smile.


St. Nicholas, or Sinter Claus, or Kris Kringle. One of those, smile.

Let the Christmas season begin! Yay!
