So Thanksgiving was definitely a week ago and probably no one is really interested in what we did by now, but here goes anyway....we hosted Thanksgiving and had a big group of friends over for good food and good company. I really love having Thanksgiving away from home because we each get to make our own "family favorites" and then come together in good company and share them all. Thanks to everyone who came and brought delicious food! Here is a picture of most of us!
Then last Saturday we decided to take advantage of David's last little bit of free time before finals started and so we went to Christmas in Clarence where they have a Christmas light festival, carnival rides and activities for kids, story time with Mrs. Claus and visits from Santa. It was really fun...Maia had such a good time and that's what it's all about anyway!

One of the activities we did with Maia was decorating sugar cookies...you can imagine how much she LOVED it...she had 5 different colors of frosting to choose from and also got to pick 3 candy toppings from a row of about 10 choices...she truly was in heaven!
Frosting the cookie...she wanted to make sure that we used every color!
She also got to ride the carousel and then we let her try the Bounce House...we thought she would love it, but she was pretty reserved with it and stuck close to the wall. After a while she got more daring, but I definitely don't think we got our $2 worth!!
The last thing we did was go and visit Santa. I thought she might be afraid of him, but she actually talked to him...very, very quietly and with her head kind of down, but she still talked to him. She was so excited when he gave her a candy cane afterwards. Now every time we see one, she reminds me that Santa gave her one.
Anyway, it is a really cute place to go and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fun, family Christmas outing. Now David is heavily into studying, so I'm afraid there will be no more playing for us until the 19th!
