We had a great week the week of Thanksgiving as both girls had the entire week off school and we were able to mostly be at home. Cody's parents came over to join us for Thanksgiving day - so nice to be at home watching the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade and hosting a big meal at our house. And thankfully all the food turned out great! :)
The girls helped to set the table, including Ella's cute placecards...
So thankful for our three sweet blessings!
The day after Thanksgiving we headed out on our annual outing to find a Christmas tree. We went to Farmer Brown's tree farm and enjoyed the cold, sunny day finding our perfect tree!
Getting started decorating one of our trees at home...
Also wanted to remember, while we were mostly at home the week of Thanksgiving, we potty trained Lucy! Knock on wood, but she's done AWESOME! Her strong will and independence has finally paid off :). She wants to do everything all by herself and is very determined to only wear undies now. She often shuts the door when she goes in to do her business and when I try and go in and help she'll say "no mama, close door!" That includes when we're out in public restrooms or at home. Sometimes I'm waiting outside the stall for quite a while, but I love her independence in wanting to do everything by herself. She loves picking out her undies to wear for the day and will often get them all out and look through them one at a time on her bedroom floor until she finds the perfect pair - it's hard to choose between Elsa and Anna, Peppa Pig, all the princesses and Minnie Mouse :). I was dreading doing the potty training thing during November/December as I knew we'd be out and about a ton with holiday activities, but I'm so glad we just did it as she's been so easy. Will be so much easier when baby brother arrives!
