Unfortunately we were out of town for Reed's soccer party but Kieran had his when we returned. Reed had a ton of fun playing soccer again this year but his team really struggled and more help/guidance. Kieran did great and even though he was one of the youngest on the team, was one of the stronger players. It was also great to see Jon and George coach and how well they did with all of the boys.
Some of us ladies got together to celebrate Baby Ikuta and Brooke. Denae planned a fun night where we all made wreaths and got to spend time together.
Reed's school has a feast every year on the Friday before Thanksgiving week. The room moms go all out decorating and the entire school has lunch together. It was a beautiful day to be outside and the kids had a great time. One of Reed's classmates also has some food allergies so I made the two of them special pumpkin shaped rice krispie treats. As soon as the feast was over we headed to the coast which has become or annual Thanksgiving break tradition. We only stayed for the weekend this year since we had just returned from vacation but it was still great.
Grandma and Grandpa hosted Thanksgiving at their new house. Everyone really wanted family pictures so we spent some time outside getting some great group shots. We also had fun playing a few different games. After a nice lunch we headed to Nonna and Pepe's for dinner. I failed to take very many pictures but we had a great time and even managed to break the boy vs. girl tradition and played co-ed board games instead.
With Thanksgiving being so late we spent the weekend after decorating for Christmas. The boys really got into the spirit - camping out by the fireplace reading Christmas books and decorating trees. They asked if they could decorate a tree just for Dodger, which was so sweet and sentimental, I had to say yes (and wipe away a few tears).
