We moved into our house two Saturdays ago. It was not ready for us but we were ready for it! Lots and lots of details were not finished. We spent every night cleaning up dust, sawdust, boxes and general junk that the various trades left after doing their work. 10 days later we had our first houseguests! Beth and family arrived to celebrate Thanksgiving with us.
I thought letting them play in the dirt would be fun. I didn't think about my new rugs and furniture. Hmm...one day in the dirt was all the poor kiddos got.
We did our best to make the giant hole in the back yard off limits. This folding table is still our dining table as I type but tomorrow morning I'm supposed to get the real one!
We love that we live close enough to walk to stores. A nice after-dinner stroll on Thanksgiving day was just the ticket for a full stomach.
The kids made gingerbread houses!
Anna and Mia organized what has turned out to be the annual Kids' Thanksgiving Show!
Anna played several songs on her violin.
Chase and Paige sang and danced to Baby Shark. So cute!
Mia and Anna sang!
They then got to eat the gingerbread houses!
This pole is now painted so the crazy pole climbing shenanigans are over.
On Friday we all went to see Becky's new house and then to the park.
We walked to Fourth Friday's and Dan bought the kids ice cream.
We then took a trolley ride down Fourth St.
Beth and Greg went home on Saturday. Next year, back to the desert for Thanksgiving!
