Thanksgiving and other updates (better late than never!)

 

Ok, so I've been having some blogger technical difficulties, and haven't really had the time or patience to figure out why my pictures weren't loading until now.  So, to say this post is a little late is an understatement.  I'm going back to Thanksgiving and hoping to one day get caught back up to the year 2013...

We had Thanksgiving with the Krumm's at Kelly and Dave's house.  It was a nice day and the kids like usual had a blast playing with each other, and the adults had fun scouring the black Friday ads!
I was busy chatting and forgot to take many pictures, but here's a few from the day:

Cal enjoying some chocolate pie:

 

 

 

Leyton and Lucy busy playing up in the loft:

                                  And with cousin Grace:

 

That same week we had a picnic at Mary's Park in New Richmond.  Its hard to believe that not that long ago we could eat outside, and play without hats, mittens, snowsuits, etc.

 

Cal had some crazy wild hair going on from the slides!

 

 

He still cannot tolerate the swings!  I try every time he says he wants to go on them, and he screams instantly, if he can get a sound out at all... (we have also tried sledding with him and have the same outcome)

 

 

Leyton showing off his climbing skills:

 

 

Even though he hates the swinging motion, he loved spinning fast on this:

 

Leyton's favorite slide:

 

 

We had family pictures taken:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And finally, the day after Thanksgiving we got our Christmas tree.  Leyton was SO excited to get it.  Cal tried to blow the lights out on the tree the first few days and would point and say "hot!".  Pretty sure he thought the lights were the same as his birthday candles :)
