Thanksgiving and the day after.....

We started off our day by doing the "Turkey Trot" down in Seal Beach. I took the kids (along with Kelly, of course) and we did the 5K walk/run. We of course walked, stopped for juice and snacks, stopped to get out of the stroller and then back in (about 10 times) and crossed the finish line with the time of.....1:03, that means 1 hour and 3 minutes, yes, one hour to finish 3 miles!!!!!! The kids had a great time and I guess 3 miles is 3 miles! Next year I told Don that him and Trevor should run it together, I think they could do it. Julie and Claire also joined us, thank you for being troopers and hanging back with us and the kids.
We had a great dinner at my parents house and Don's mom was able to join us, so it was nice to be together. The only family we were missing was Don's sister, Mike, Lona and the Shultz family. We were able to use Kevin's computer and ichat with the Shultz in New Hampshire (the first time and coolest thing ever)!!! As you can see, Trevor loved it. He was running through the room making funny faces and kissing the screen the whole time, I think we need to get one!!


I thought this picture was too cute. Kelly is such a fantastic auntie. She took the day off of work on Wednesday and took the kids to Chuck E Cheese AND just ordered tickets to take Trev to Mideivel Times on Sunday, thanks for all that you do Kelly!!



Friday morning Jeana, Kelly and I rounded up the troops and headed down to the Huntington Beach Nature Center. We walked the trail, threw sticks in the lake, fed the ducks, played at the playground AND sat down and ate lunch at the cutest little outside cafe. We were able to sit down and actually eat uninterrupted lunch with the kids because there was a big field that they could run through as we were eating. It was great, I'm sure we will be going back there soon.
TT being as cute as ever.

Finally.....during naps I put a majority of the Christmas decorations up in our house. The kids woke up and thought it was the coolest thing they have ever seen. They sat and played with our village until I made them stop (Trev just woke up, that is the only reason he is still in the diaper!!!). Christmas is going to be so fun this year, can't wait!!!

Looks like you had a great thanksgiving! I love the shirt Trevor is wearing with Kelly..and that picture is so cute! Kelly is the best:)

Seriously, though NO BLACK FRIDAY? What's wrong with you Youngs? We'll do it next year since I wasn't able to do it this year.

These last four days have been the best because I have got to spend so much time with Trev and TT. I can't wait to take him to Medieval Times and you are definitely right, Christmas is going to be soooooooo much fun with the two of them.
