A Thanksgiving Lunch And A Christmas Affair.....

I took a day off on Nov 18th and it was so needed. :) I had MOPS that morning, and then Chris and I headed over to Braden and Brant's school for their annual Thanksgiving lunch.

It is fun b.c all of the parents come and fill the classrooms and eat lunch with the kiddos. The food is really good and served buffet style with lots of turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, etc....and all of the yummy dessert that you would ever need. :) Then the kids proceed to try to eat while also trying to show off for all of the parents that are there. :) And the teachers sit back and take a much needed break, while the parents laugh and talk with their kids. It is just fun to see all the parents that come out to be with their little ones...and it is neat to see the school make such a big deal out of this special holiday. Let's be honest...I love the holidays so I will celebrate any chance I get! :)

Every time a parent walked in their kid would shout "Mommy!!!", "Daddy!!!" and their little eyes would light up. It was just too cute! :)

They ate with their turkey hats on. :) And they had made placemats too.
Dad is such a good sport. :)Sweet little Olivia.....
Miss Taylor was watching something very intently. :)Salvador......(Braden calls him Salvy) :) Mr. Jayden.... William liked his mom's work badge more than eating. :)Jon was chatting it up with his mama....Rebecca loving up on the roll.... I did not get a chance to capture pics of all of the kiddos....b.c I was eating and time ran out. :) I am already looking forward to the fun Thanksgiving lunch next year though! :)

Chris and I had a great rest of the day as we headed up to A Christmas Affair...one of our favorite events that is put on in Austin each year! :) It is an awesome collection of vendors, and you can shop and eat your way through the entire event in a couple of hours. Good times for sure! :) We had an awesome time just hanging out and doing some Christmas shopping!Chris taking a quick pic outside when we stopped for a break. :) Sorry Chris's face is so dark here. I obviously did not adjust the camera settings well for this one. Oops! :)
