Thanksgiving 2014

We spent Thanksgiving up at Kody’s parents’ home in Oregon.  His sister Karissa came with her little boys so this was the first year they celebrated with cousins on that side.  Kirby, Sam, Kip and Chelsea were there too.  Tessa was reunited with “her cat” shivers and Chelsea was a good sport taking lots of ribbing from the kids during the potato peeling.  There was good food, conversation, and giving thanks.

While Our Dad's Away...

Two weeks before Thanksgiving Kody’s Grandpa Tom (his Mom’s Father) died and so he took Tessa and they went up for the funeral.  It was a short trip but they had fun and Tessa fell in love with Grandma Lori’s cats J

We had Mallory’s VIP and then I pulled Kylie out of school a little early so we could eat lunch at our favorite place, Panda Express.  Kylie had a party that night so I treated the two littles to some jumping at Kangaroo Zoo and a slushie to cool off.

Animal Parade

Tessa’s class put on an animal parade showcasing the different animals they had each learned about.  They did a report.  Made a diorama and even made a poem that told about the animal using each letter of the animals name.
