Thanksgiving break…(and Loggie takes home turtles)

Logan was so excited last Monday when I picked him up from school because he got to take home the class turtles.  They aren't real, they are stuffed turtles, in case you were wondering.  Their names are Shelby and Shelton.  Logan got to have them all week.  He took them to Thanksgiving dinners, he took them to the movie theater when Dennis took all the boys on Friday, and he slept with them each night.  He had so much fun filling out their journal with all the adventures they did over the week.

At the movies…not a great pic!

Thanksgiving break was really nice.  Besides taking the kids to the movie, we decorated for Christmas. I convinced Dennis that since we were staying put for the holidays and even hosting my family for Christmas dinner that it was time to get a real tree and not pull out our pathetic skinny artificial one.  He reluctantly agreed and we had fun picking one out on Saturday and decorating on Sunday.  I always love pulling out all the ornaments that have so many memories attached to them.  It is always a fun day for the kids too!  So far Leah has stayed away from all the ornaments, hopefully it continues!  She loves when it is lit up though!
