Fun Thanksgiving and Looking forward to Christmas!

This is what it looks like when Nixon tries to write his name. He's getting the basic idea of what letters look like
 I love this picture!
 I always regret giving Lyza a treat like a ring pop
Mason gets really vocal at night
The kids were super excited to have Kevin jump on the trampoline with them
 Cuddles and reading with Grandma were also welcome
 Mario Kart was fun, at least for those who did well ;) 
  It was especially fun being Lyza's navigator while she held her finger on the gas :)
 When Nixon played I was always guaranteed at least third place
 After all of that playing we were ready for some real races
 

Here comes Princess Peach
Mason likes uncle Kevin
Lyza loved looking at all of the Black Friday ads. She had a system where she put a check mark beside the things we already had and circled things that she wanted. There were a lot of circles and not many check marks! 
 I guess Mason tastes pretty good
 Thanksgiving dinner was YUMMY!
 Hailey liked sitting in this bin of giant teddy bears, until she fell through to the bottom
 Toys 'R Us on Friday morning is the only Black Friday shopping I like. It is fun watching the kids' eyes light up at all of the different toys
 Kevin and Amanda brought the kids super sized Kinder Surprise eggs


Lyza got a hold of Kim's phone and took all kinds of pictures. This was the best one
 Cool shades Hailey
 The kids love having their grandma around
 Lyza realy admired Kevin's beard, but thought there was something missing

 The girls got their craft on



They turned out great
Cousin love
 We did a roast beef dinner on Sunday and the Yorkshire pudding turned out PERFECT
 Kevin was helping out in the kitchen

 We put up a few more Christmas lights outside
 Hailey loved exploring new toys 
 Lyza and Nixon enjoyed opening some early birthday and Christmas gifts 

 Nixon and I got the tree set up over the Thanksgiving weekend
 The dump truck Nixon got from Kevin and Amanda is big enough for Hailey to sit in
 Mason's first time unwrapping a gift
 Kevin and Amanda brought a game called Speak Out for us all to play. This is how the game works: Two teams, one person from a team puts a dental mouth piece in their mouth and has a limited amount of time to read out sentences while the teammates have to repeat the sentences. The team with the most correct guesses wins. It was lots of fun!

 Grandma Bullock was by far the best!
Lyza tried her best, but surprisingly her mouth is too small
In case you weren't aware, there were dinosaurs in the stable where Jesus was born 
 For Family Home Evening this week we decorated the tree

 
 Wrong end Mason...


 Happy boy
 Nixon! 
 Mason also turned 5 months old this week, and he is happy about it


 They learned about balancing at preschool this week
 "No hands"
Who dances like this?
This little guy sure loves to laugh at his sibblings
This guy has been loving the truck Kevin and Amanda got him so much that he has taken it to bed with him

If you made it here in one sitting, congratulations!
Take care
