The girls helped me prepare the sweet potato casserole and Tobin lent his artistic abilities with our turkey shaped veggie tray! After getting all ready, we headed over for dinner. The kids were so excited to hang out with Grayson and Chloe. It was also nice to catch up with the rest of the gang (we haven't seen Evan since we took off for college). We all had a wonderful meal, complete with great pies for dessert. The kids played some games (turkey bowling with a pumpkin) and the adults just had fun hanging out and smiling at the kids enthusiasm. What a truly blessed day!
One of the things the kids have been SUPER excited about is having Daddy home for FOUR whole days...as the kids say, "4 days of Daddy, wooo hooo!" We started out Friday morning taking the kids to their gymnastics lessons. It was awesome that Tobin could do the class with Gabi. While waiting for the rest of the Sikora clan to meet again, we just relaxed at home. Our "Elf on a Shelf" arrived at our home today as well. The kids loved the story and named him Paco!
We then spent the afternoon with the Viers family for some good times. The kids never cease to amuse and amaze us. The girls all came up with pretty princess dresses and began dancing. At one point we all joined in. However, the highlight of the dances was Isa's beautiful dance with Liam... complete with a kiss of appreciation! We were then surprised by a quick snowfall ... which all the kids ran out to play in!
