Thankful

A month late, but here goes...
I survived my second party as room mom (still don't really know what I'm doing!).  We had a fun Thanksgiving party.  The kids sang several songs and recited some poems and Bible verses that they'd learned.  They were so cute!

 I got chicken fingers, fruit, veggies and cheese.  Noah is enjoying a slice of cookie cake in this picture.  Adoring sister looking on.

The kids got in to the rice/pasta table and made a HUGE mess.  Noah's teacher was so patient to let them.  Elli LOVED it.  Here she is adding to the mess with another kindergartner's sibling.

We spent Thanksgiving day with my side of the family.  My cousin and her husband recently bought a home in Pawhuska and have turned it in to the Grandview Inn Bed and Breakfast.  It was built in 1923 and is so neat and has so much character!  
Here are the 3 year old cousins...

We decided to take the bounce house.  The daddies had to do some major refereeing and have girls only (littles) and boys only (bigs) bounce house time!

Ellianna thought baby Taevryn was a real life doll that she could play with.  She insisted that Tae have her paci and kept trying to put it in her mouth.  She's such a little mommy.

 

Isn't she beautiful?!

 

Sweaty boy.  Having a blast playing with his cousins.

 

Friday, we headed to SW Oklahoma.  The Bombers were in the high school football playoffs.  Nana stayed home with Noah because he got sick, but we took Elli.  She loved it!  She loved the band and the mascot, everything!

 

She had forgotten about marshmallows since last year, but was reintroduced to them at nana's house!  She loves them.  She can't quite remember the name and comes up with some of the funniest names for them like smashmellows, etc.

Just look at that face.  I bet she could sweet talk nana in to letting her have mallows for every meal.
