Turkey Week Fun

I just realized that it has been almost a month since our last blog. We have been so busy in the last couple of weeks, that blogging definitely took a backseat to everything else we have going on. I can't believe we are almost to Christmas. Christmas!! Eek! Ever have one of those weeks when it seems like the week was so very long and yet flew by in the blink of an eye all at once? That was this last week for us. Monday of this week seems like it was forever ago when we think about the fact that Kenzie was in school, yet when we think that my parents were in town for 5 days, it seems like they weren't here for more than a few hours. Crazy. This last week we celebrated Thanksgiving. This is always one of my favorite holidays. I like it for many reasons. One of which is the time we get to spend together as a family. Steven usually takes off for the week of Thanksgiving. We have our families over for dinner on Thanksgiving Day. My parents usually get a timeshare for the long week

Spooktacular Halloween

One of my favorite things about the start of fall isn't the cool weather (we don't have any so I'm not allowed to like that the best), but rather the fact that shortly after it starts, we hit full-on Halloween mode. This is definitely one of those holidays that is even better with kiddos around. It lasts almost a full month around here with all we have going on. Here is some of what we have been up to this Halloween season: We started with a trip to Disney just before Will's birthday. While we didn't do Mickey's Not So Scary or anything, we did get to see all the fun Halloween/Fall decorations at Hollywood Studios. And we were able to meet up with some friends at the park so that made for a fun evening. The Chick Fil A Kids' Club is in full swing for the school year and in the month of October they do a fun Halloween night. They let the kids "carve" styrofoam pumpkins and decorate them. They loved it. We let the kids dress up too sinc
