The kids had the whole week off for Thanksgiving, like usual.  With a snow storm coming, I decided to come over super early on Sunday to visit.  It was great to have many relaxing days on vacation.  The boys got the play with the Mason grandparents during the day.  Amanda and I had lunch with our parents.  I even squeezed in a couple zumba classes at the local gym.  Ben joined us on Wednesday via bus.

We had an amazing Thanksgiving spread with far too much food.  Everything was delectable and I came home with generous leftovers.  On Friday the Waterhouses went to a pottery painting studio and got creative juices flowing.  In the evening we saw Frozen II together.  It was a wonderful holiday time with family!

Sam drew on everything he could find.  He filled two notebooks with artwork.

Jack played Christmas carols all week, enjoying the feel and sound of a grand piano.  He also tried mom’s violin a few times and seems to have a good knack for it.
