Thanksgiving in Phili...where else?

We were SO happy that the Lopez family hosted us for Thanksgiving! What a great week! Lots of crafts, lots of food, lots of girly fun! (Girls always outnumber boys.)

Best buddies!

Turkeys and pilgrims!

 

Brenna the princess, of course. Vivi put some makeup on her as well!

For our Thanksgiving feast, uncle Paco deep fried not one, but TWO turkeys! We also had pumpkin and apple pie, green bean casserole, rolls, potatoes, and butternut squash soup!

Fancy kid table!

And...nap time. zzzzzzz

The day after Thanksgiving, aunt Meri decided she needed to spoil all of us. We went to target and the kids picked out a toy.

This was Ammon's favorite toy, hands down! We could NOT get him to take it off! At the check out, we had to scan the tag. He was in super hero mode the rest of the trip.

Cart load of joy.

Ammon loves Uncle Paco! And Aunt Meri! And Ali!

We also decorated gingerbread houses. Can anyone say sugar high?

Thanks Lopez family...again!

School festivities for K-Bop

This picture is from Kaylee's first Celebration of Learning at Propel Pitcairn! The first grade performed a musical number called, "Gee I Wish I Was Back in the Army." They did great! I have it all on video, but I did manage to snap this shot of her. Great job!

 The next day was her big 1st grade Thanksgiving feast! I was a volunteer mom. It was so fun! They had a full thanksgiving dinner! (Most of them didn't eat much because they had lunch just two hours earlier.) There were a couple of empty spots so Brenna was able to sit down and eat as well!

Pilgrims sat on one side (Ms. Anselmo's class) and Indians (Ms. Bartosh's class) sat on the other.

Primary Program Carnival

Since about June, I have been fortunate enough to be the Primary secretary. Recently, we got an AWESOME new Presidency! One of the first items of business was a long overdue Primary activity. We had a carnival for the Primary Program practice. 

Starting things off, we had a magic show!

The children helped the magician earn his way into 'piracy.' So fun!

This was the booth that Liz decorated. Angry birds can toss!

How cute is that?

Of course, a fishing pond!

Duck pond! Grab a duck, win a prize.

Collette, who is now the first councilor, owns a photo booth business with her husband. It was BY FAR the favorite!

Here is what pops out! Complete with this year's theme at the bottom. Thank you so much, Johnstons!

Seriously, how adorable are they?
