Carter's Birthday

Carter's actual birthday was on Monday, Nov. 26th!

We started the morning with a special breakfast.

We forgot that the local donut store was closed on Mondays, so we headed to Panera.

My boy at breakfast.

He asked if he could have an iced sugar cookies, and since it was his birthday we said YES!

His teacher made him a birthday crown and he got to wear a birthday sticker!

Mommy and Daddy came with brownies to share!

As I was leaving I noticed his artwork and writing in the hallway.

 

That evening we celebrated with a few friends at the house.

Carter requested pizza for dinner.

Thanksgiving Day

 

Our Thanksgiving dinner (at lunch time) was in Concordia, KS celebrating with Ryan's parents and his Grandma Gwen. Gwen and her siblings put on a feast each year! It was delicious!

Ella is very attached to her pink cowboy boots! She wants to wear them everyday.

 

Then we headed to Newton to celebrate with my family!

We made it just in time for yummy pie!

We are truly blessed and have so much to be thankful for!!

Grandparent's Day at HTCS!

My parents and Papa were able to come up for Grandparent's Day at school!

The day started with Mass, a special brunch for the grandparents and then a program in the classroom. It was extra special since Carter's Great Grandpa was able to come, too!

Carter and his classmates put on a little program with singing and actions to a few songs!

I was not able to come and watch since I was "hosting" in my classroom, but my parents and Papa said he did a great job! It was a special day!

 



Daddy's Birthday!

We love our Daddy! We loved celebrating his special day with a visit from 

Grandma Deb and Grandpa Randy, BBQ for lunch and cake!

Grandma Deb brought a yummy cake!

 



Happy Birthday, Daddy!!
