A Texas Thanksgiving and gearing up for Christmas!

Right before Thanksgiving we had a visit from Gramsey for Grandparents Day at school.  Clayton was very excited to show her around his Kindergarten classroom.  She also got to attend Clayton's last soccer game of the season and his awards ceremony.  It was a fun filled few days and the kids really enjoyed her visit!

We had fun celebrating Thanksgiving with family and cousins!  The kids had a great time and enjoyed each others company.

Gramsey came to visit!

New Happenings...

Clayton 

- Enjoys building things out of legos

- Really into making robots out of pretty much anything 

- Funny conversation about Santa:

 Me: Clayton what do you want for Christmas?...

 Clayton: Transformers and a web shooter...

 Me: Oh I don't know if Santa knows how to make transformers?!

 Clayton: Yes mommy! He knows how to make everything - even Eve! (Eve is from the movie      Wall-E and he asked for Eve last Christmas and we found out she is "extinct" and he did not get her)

- We went to a Polar Express storytime at PB Kids.  At the end Santa came out and Clayton yelled at me as Santa got closer "That is a FAKE Santa! The REAL Santa has glasses!!"

Sam

- Talking a LOT! He is continuing his speech therapy.  He is talking in full sentences and asking full sentence questions.  

- He is still 3, and I can't wait for 4! :)

- He loves to FaceTime on daddy's phone! Especially calling Nana & Pops!

- Loves to help in the kitchen or setting the table at dinner

- Likes to help vacuum (sometimes we fight over it)

- He wants whatever Clayton has...

- He makes noises when he plays now (sounds of cars, etc)

- Becoming more independent in his play

- Still loving his Montessori school and all his teachers and friends
