Thanksgiving Break!

Jack had a wonderful Thanksgiving break home with mom and dad. Mom was home all week, dad had school all day monday and part of Tuesday. On monday, Jack and I did some Turkey-day crafts and then a few errands. Tuesday we just hung out at home all day. The nights are long without daddy at home :(

Wednesday we were home to enjoy the day before Thanksgiving. We decided to get our Christmas tree since we would be busy the rest of the long weekend. We got a steal of a deal on a Frasier at Menards :) It is beautiful. The bottom half of is a little sparse of ornaments, only a few nonbreakable ones remain - because Jack absolutely LOVES the christmas tree! He's broke a few... but hopefully we have all the glass ones up high enough or removed by now... that boy is really tall !!!

We also spent lots of time baking is past week. Jack helped me make apple pie, pecan pie, cranberry cake and yesterday we made A LOT of christmas cookie dough to put in the freezer for the coming weeks. (It's so much easier to do the dough first and then the cookies closer to when they are needed!) Jack loves to help mom bake :) My sweet helper.

Today was back to school and daycare. Jack did surprisingly well at Miss Cathies - I was afraid he'd freak out when I dropped him off and cling to me. But he just walked right in the door and started playing with his favorite toys. He had an excellent day back with all his friends. My little boy is growing up :(

I'll add pictures from the holiday soon.

On to Christmas... ho ho ho...
