Snow and Turkey Day

Last weekend Finn was excited to see snow.  I loved seeing his smile as he looked out the window...
 He did get to go out and play because his granddad took him out to slide down the hill.  I didn't go out and take photos, although I should have, but I am so intolerant of the cold anymore.  I was inside nice and warm!

Thanksgiving day we spent cooking and eating at my sister's house.  I wore my pajamas in order to be able to eat and not feel the button of my jeans digging into my stomach, you know what I mean. Next year do yourself a favor, wear pajamas.
 I had to cook two things this year. I had never made a pie before. I made buttermilk and it turned out good. (Tosh was a great helper and gets half the credit for being my little stir boy.)
 I also made sweet potato casserole. It looked ugly...
 but it was good. I will now be the sweet potato casserole bringer.  (sidenote: it doesn't reheat well.  I let my in-laws try it and was disappointed at how not bueno it tastes two days later. Who would have thought?)

We were excited to see how much the changes we have made (I talked about that last post) have been working well and showing in other areas.  Finn ate his Thanksgiving meal without much resistance. He had one tiny sliver of pie and all was good. We also kept to his day even being away from home.  He changed into some of his cousin Dax's pajamas.Then he and Kingsley laid in her bed for nap.  They did stay back there two hours.  I heard a lot of arguing about bed sharing. I don't know if a true nap occurred, but we stayed on course.  
 Kingsley read Finn books...

 The kids got to watch Despicable Me 2...
 We were full and lazy. 

I have since gotten in the spirit of Christmas. I have done the trees and some shopping (online) but more on that a different day. Hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving.
