Thanksgiving and beyond...

 Somehow Christmas is 11 days away.  Not sure how this has happened!  We've been busy busy doing Christmasy things ever since Thanksgiving.  Meredith and I worked on her class wreath for Festival of Trees (2nd place!).  Amazing as we threw this together in about 2 days.
 Thanksgiving lunch at Roosevelt.  Meredith was busy helping serve...
 Friends with beards
 Meredith set a wicked Thanksgiving table
 Post dinner walk in shorts with cousin London.
 Ahhh, it's good to be a HUSKY!

 Capitol tree lighting - missing a Meredith (Nutcracker rehearsal!)
 Killer $32 tree.  We weren't going to do a tree in Boise so the kids were thrilled. 
 Harry Potter ornaments in the works!  Meredith did a great job on them- lots of layers and drying time.  Quite a process but worth it in the end!  Don't worry, we gave Hermione some more hair.
 Roosevelt Craft Fair.  Kids made a killing and then spent all their earnings on others kids 'crafts'.
 Wonder Wave was a big hit at the McKibbons, we are so sad it's sold out (not sad at all).
 Quinn likes to get on the roof any chance you gets.  Practice for sneaking out?  Gonna have to put some locks on that window.
 Overloaded gingerbread man.  I said, pick one piece of candy...one!
 The big day finally arrived.  Time to get those nasty tonsils out!  Delaney did great and was a real trooper.  We are 7 days in and recovery has been a bit dicey.
 New Seahawks blanket from the Brouses helped ;) 
 In the meantime at Roosevelt...
 Totally crashed after the first day back at school...taking it one day at a time here!
While I stayed home with Meredith/Delaney in Nutcracker/tonsillectomy jail - Jesse and Quinn hit opening day at Brundage and built a gigantic snowman with Marcus and Taylor.
