Happy Thanksgiving!!

The williams family had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! We started the day with a feast at the Wells house at 1pm.

The kids enjoyed playing together, wrestling, hiding out with Grandma, dressing up, and eating pumpkin pie.

We managed to get this miracle shot before leaving. (Anything with all six kids in the same frame and looking at the camera constitutes a miracle. Plus 5 out of 6 are smiling!)

Next, we headed over to Grandpa Mark's house for some more feasting, wrestling, and card playing.

Look, even Mom got to play this time!

Finally we threw on some PJs and headed home for some much needed rest.

It was a wonderful day spent with family. Family is the single most thing for which I am thankful. I hope to spend the next month slowing down the pace a bit and relishing every single moment of the holidays with my kids. Here's to making priceless memories. Here's to making magic!

Preschool Thanksgiving Feast

Charlie had a Thanksgiving Feast at preschool today.

His teachers did a great job decorating the tables, and making sure the kids were decked out in homemade turkey hats, and Native American clothing. Ms. Leslie even dressed up!

Charlie had a delicious feast while Morgan munched on Cheerios.

Then we headed back to the classroom to collect their bags, but not before taking one more picture of his class.

Taylor's Saint Project

On All Saint's Day, Taylor's kindergarten class participated in a saints project. They had to pick a Saint (Taylor picked Saint Mary since her middle name is Mary), come up with a simple costume to represent that saint, and find out a few facts about them. Then they presented these facts in front of all the kindergartens from her school (50 kids!) and many of their parents who came to watch.

Taylor's class looked so precious dressed up.

Taylor has some sweet friends at school.

Taylor volunteered to go first! I was so proud of her. She was not nervous at all (I don't think I could have done that at 6 years old). Here's the video (It's hard to hear but she's saying "I am Saint Mary. Saint Mary was born on September 8th. The angel, Gabriel, said to Mary that God has chosen her to be Jesus' Mother. Mary answered yes to God's plan."):

After presenting, the kids sat on the sides of the stage.

Morgan just couldn't resist going to her sister and sitting with her!
