Reed's school hosts a Veteran's Day Assembly each year. He was insistent that the two veterans we are friends with, Mikael and Julio, attend the assembly. He was so excited that they both came and I managed to volunteer at the event so I could spy on him performing a poem during the assembly. He recited it perfectly and it really was a neat event honoring veterans.
We spent a long weekend in Avila leading up to Thanksgiving. The Rodriguez Family was able to join us again and all of the kids got along so well and we had a great time!!!
We couldn't forget Dodger's 11th Birthday and we celebrated with pumpkin cookies for all.
The day after Thanksgiving Kingsburg has their Christmas tree lighting. It includes lighting a tree in the park, then singing Christmas songs as we walk to the Christmas tree in downtown that then gets lit. After the second lighting there is Swedish Folk song singing and dancing, a visit with Santa, and other festivities. I love it so much and it always reminds me what an adorable small town we live in, To finish kicking off the Christmas season we let the boys watch a Christmas movie, broke out the Santa pajamas, and let the decorating begin!
