Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was very different at our house, but it was a blast! This was the first time we have stayed home for thanksgiving. Ron's sister (Donna) and her husband (mike) and their two kids (ben and drew) came to celebrate with us. I made the dinner all by myself, and I am so proud! It tasted pretty good! Sadly I didn't take any pictures of our yummy feast. Really this post is about the other things we did while family was here. We had so much fun, and we made sure to stay busy!

One of the days we decided to head out to Chucky cheese for some pizza and video games. The kids had a ball! Especially the boys and I am not meaning just the little ones either.

Hayden hates having his picture taken

Ben was really digging his soda

Hayden's favorite drink is  "Root Beard"

Playing on the rides. They loved it!

Part of the reason Ron's sister came was because mike had a big job interview at a doctor's office in Indy. So we all made the trip down and went to the children's museum,. This place is amazing! It is the largest children's museum in the world, and my kids LOVE going.

The train exhibit was a huge hit. All the kids loved walking inside the train and seeing all the neat pictures. Afterwards they all fought over the giant train set that was available for the kids to play with.

Hayden in the Monster exhibit. Clearly he didn't understand why this exhibit was so fun. It was more for the adults. They had costumes and props from famous scary movies such as the Adam's family, corpse bride, and batman.

This exhibit Hayden did like! In fact I had to pry him away! It was Santa's cookie bakery. They had tons of kitchen utensils and fake food for the kids to play with. Hayden made cookies. Hew would roll them out, frost them and then stick them in the giant oven to bake. He did it over and over. It was so cute

He was in cookie heaven, and so excited to show me his cookies he made.

Grace love tot land! She couldn't get enough of it. Inside tot land is this giant water table with all sorts of cups, wooden spoons, boats, strainers etc... She got soaked! The smile two photo's down says it all!

My favorite part of the museum is the 100 year old full sized carousel. It is darling and the kids' giggles and squeals make it extra fun!

Thanks Mike and Donna for such a fun Holiday! Can't wait to see you during Spring break!
