Thanksgiving 2015

Thanksgiving 2015 was the best one yet!  We made so many memories with the kids it's hard to pick the favorites.  Matt and I had our best times yet at the Pie and Glove 5k.  The kids spent hours in the mildest November weather in recent history out on the trampoline.  They played with baby Violet, they fed her and even took a bath with her. Aunt Emily brought them a garland making kit and we returned home with yard after yard of paper loops.  I fondly remember looping and pasting (yum, paste!) together red and green construction paper as a child.   We filled ourselves to the point of near bursting with Thanksgiving dinner, homemade egg nog, AND, and, and, homemade poutine!  Personally, I could feast solely on the egg nog and the poutine and be far more than content.

 We went to the movies to see The Good Dinosaur, at which, Coco lasted approximately 17 minutes.  Not bad for her first movie.  (I'm secretly happy, albeit jealous, when friends tell me they have young kids who can sit through an entire movie and Coco can't.)  On Friday, we picked out our Christmas tree and brought it home to Rochester.  On Saturday, we visited the Muehe's in Canandaigua for brunch, stopped by to see Santa in his house on Main St, and decorated the tree at home.  Matt and I also had the opportunity to go out with good friends on Saturday night.  As you can see, we had such a busy week but it was all good fun.

We are truly thankful for the chaos and noise that three children and the rest of our family bring to make our holidays so special.
