Emma and Ana got involved in setting up the Christmas lights on our Magnolia tree in front of our house. I'll have to take another picture of the finished product. We had to rush at the end because it started sprinkling. The girls requested hot chocolate. I happily agreed!

Loving my Mug
Aunt Jan gave me this mug for my last birthday. It holds the perfect amount of bulletproof coffee. Delicious!
My version of bulletproof coffee:
1 c coffee
1 Tbs coconut oil
1 Tbs grass fed butter
1 squirt of coconut/almond blend milk (I prefer Blue Diamond, original, unsweetened)
Dash of cinnamon
Put everything in blender except cinnamon to make it nice and foamy and finish with dash of cinnamon.
That's how I've been starting my day for the past several months. And it is the perfect way to start this Thanksgiving Day.

Ana's Turkey Outfit
On Friday Ana has her Thanksgiving party at preschool. It was the perfect occasion for her to wear her turkey outfit. She looked pretty cute!
Emma's Thanksgiving Luncheon
Every year first graders get to have a Thanksgiving luncheon and have the parents as guests of honor. Each family had to provide a dish. Everything was well organized and delicious.
Emma was so proud showing me around her classroom, her school and playground. It is fun to see Emma in a completely different environment where we (the parents) are not around.

New Christmas Dresses
Christmas is over a month away but the girls wanted to wear their new dresses to church today. I'm all for that. Might as well get a lot of use out of them.
Please disregard Ana's wild socks. Ha!

Preschool Project
Ana was so proud of her Thanksgiving project at preschool. We think she did a good job. Then Emma told her "you forgot to draw the nipples on the Indian." Ha! These kids!

Emma's Election Poll
Emma, our first grader and six year old, conducted her own election poll based on the number of signs she saw out on the streets. She kept count on her own. We didn't ask her to do it. She came home and drew the results. Ha!
A six year old got it right and the media and the political polls got it wrong. Now we move on.
