Thankful 2020

I love love LOVE traditions and this is one of my favorites.  Every November since my children have been able to talk I will ask them to tell me something or someone they are thankful for everyday leading up until Thanksgiving Day.  I must say that Annie's day 1 got me!

Zoo animals are scared of the rona

Our house has been a work in progress the last 5.5, almost 6 years.  I have slowly, but surely, been buying and sprucing things up.  Decorating isn't my cup of tea so I have a lady who helps me.  My bedroom was very dark and we have been working to lighten it up.  I'm pleased thus far.

We got home Wednesday afternoon, the week before Thanksgiving, from our trip.  I went to work on Thursday and then missed school again on Friday to go with Bitty on a school field trip to the zoo.

Bitty can't act right




How many kids can you stuff inside of a tree?




Only about 1/3 of the animals were out....I guess they are scared of the rona.




Annie's class had their annual Thanksgiving Day feast.  I hate hate hate to miss this fun stuff.  I am OVER the corona.



I have 4 trees in my house this year.  You heard that right, 4!  I have my big tree, Annie's tree in her room, a small tree with kid made ornaments, and this tree with all our Christmas cards from my little family and pictures with Santa.

We had Thanksgiving early at the farm with Puh and Pops.

Sometimes you just get worn out on vacation.  Super Planner, Daddy, didn't want to waste any time.  He packed each day full if actvities. The faces of worn out boys.

We had breakfast at Crockett's Breakfast Camp.  The littles and I split this huge cinnamon roll.


Then we went to Anakeesta....
