Yesterday we enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving Feast with Audrey's kindergarten class. Actually, all 4 of the kinder classes set up tables in their playground and ate lunch together. Parents from all the classes provided food (potluck style) and, of course, Audrey wanted to sign up for bringing the most important thing, the turkey. Isaac and Violet and I showed up to eat lunch with Audrey, turkey in hand.
It was a fun time...Audrey had even made a hat and necklace for Isaac too, but he didn't want to wear them until he got home. Violet was content to just relax in her chair, enjoying her own share of the lunch (small pieces of bread and cooked veggies). Along with this big event, we had ANOTHER big event yesterday! Violet took her first forward steps! She's been pulling to a stand and taking a couple side steps recently, but last night she pulled up on one of the kitchen chairs and it slid forward a little. So she took a step forward to catch up...she pushed it forward a little, then took a step or two to catch up! Randy got out the video camera to tape her in action (so sorry, no still photos). She'll be walking in no time now! YIKES!
Well, aside from these big events, we've had a relatively relaxing week. Most of us have been a little under the weather with sniffles...and Violet, an ear infection. But we've enjoyed the changing colors of the leaves and even a few sprinkles this past week too! We are looking forward to a relaxing Thanksgiving week. Audrey has the whole week off from school and we hope to be able to visit some friends and family close by with the "extra" time. Unless I don't post again, have a great Thanksgiving!
