Trees & Turkey

Well this weekend was a whirl wind of events but fun!  Erik took a couple days off to help me put up the Christmas tree and decorations.  I still went to work but it all got done!

Friday Emma had her 2nd school "dance" and she had a blast!  I still cannot believe she is in middle school!  Here is a pic of her before she went to school.  Her dances are right after school from 3-5 pm and it is meant to just have fun...not a "date" thing like it was in the 80's for me!

Saturday Emma had her Christmas show rehearsals from 8:30 am to 5 pm and Ethan went to the movies with his Nana to see Big Hero 6!  So Erik and I did a couple of errands and just watched the OSU football game and napped!  Best day ever!

Sunday we attended church and Ethan made his Chrismon (angel) for the church Christmas tree.  He loves making them each year and hanging them on the tree!  I still have all of Emma's ornaments she made each year at church!

We also attended our annual Turner Thanksgiving dinner!  My step-dad's family gathers at my Great Grandpa Turner's party house for the celebration.  I cannot believe he is 96!  You go Pa!

Here is a pic of my parents, sister, niece and Erik and my kiddos!

Trick or Treat

This past Friday was Ethan's fall party for 2nd great and I was Room Mom.  I had a ton of parent volunteers so it made my job so easy!  Fun was had by all!

Then Friday evening was Trick or Treat!  However Emma had choir rehearsal for her Christmas show from 4-5 pm and then I ran her over to her friend Emily's house so they could go together.  Ethan went with his friend Warren in our neighborhood.  It was cold and rainy but Erik worked from home so he suffered with me taking the boys around!

Sunday afternoon we went to my friend's son's 9th birthday party.  He had a Mr Game Room truck and Ethan loved it of course.  Emma however also learned how to use a "real" bow and arrow and wants a small one for Christmas.  Not sure on that one since she has a Nerf one but we will see!
