Project Life - 2012 Week 47

November 18 - 24

This was such a busy - and FUN - week!!
We were so blessed to have the whole week off from school so we were able to have a few days of just relaxing and hanging out. It was fabulous!
Then we got busy...

On Wednesday, the 21st, we met Evie at the mall to visit Santa.
Evie wasn't so thrilled to visit Santa, but Bennett was an old pro at visiting St. Nick.

While Evie was crying in Santa's lap :), Bennett patiently waited and showed me his letter. Now, I know that it looks really long, but if you can read it, he is asking Santa for some old Ninjago sets and figures (and listing that ones that he doesn't have so that Santa can just choose which ones he'd like to bring). He also asked for the Skylanders Giants Wii game. It also starts 'Dear Santa, I have tried to be good this year. (Hey, Nobody is perfect!)'. Ha! 

I think he's been pretty good :)

Thankfully, Evie got some candy from Ho-Ho and she got happy again. 
And we all ate some lunch. Such a fun day!

On Thursday, it was Thanksgiving! 
We celebrated at Gigi and Bubba's house again this year and it was wonderful!

We brought Papa's baked apples, 

 these cute little cookies, and 

 a cherry pie. 
Bennett did a great job with the turkey on the top, don't you think??

Bennett's thankful card:

Brad's and my cards:

After lunch, we took some family pictures. 

It really was such a fun and relaxing day. I didn't want to go home! I think we should have brought our pajamas so that we could have spent the night :) 
We have so much to be thankful for - and family is at the top of the list!

Oh, and we can't forget the big day on the 23rd!

Brad turned 40!! 

We had a wonderful time celebrating Brad - and we started celebrating 40 days earlier by making a 40 piece puzzle with a picture that Bennett drew on one side. On the other side, each piece had something that we loved about Brad on it. We had a great time telling him all the ways that we loved him! He is so special to us!!

On Saturday we had the family over to celebrate his birthday and to watch the Iron Bowl. The game didn't go the way we wanted, but we weren't surprised :)

 We had a great time just hanging out with everyone. So fun!

We wrapped the festivities with some homemade cupcakes.
We loved celebrating Brad!
Such a fun, blessed week!
