Thanksgiving break fun

The kids spent the first part of the week with Jimmy's dad and step-mom.  The weather was horrible and they had to spend most of their time inside which was a bummer.  But being spoiled by Nana is always fun and she bought Caden a new book he has been wanting so they had fun just relaxing and hanging out.  Unfortunately Jimmy was not able to take them hunting because of the bad weather.  Caden was not happy, but hopefully they can go again.  

I had grand plans of getting all kinds of stuff done around the house but none of it happened.  Wednesday I had planned on cleaning and decorating but neither happened.  We started to get out my Christmas decorations when Paige found a Christmas ShrinkyDink project I bought last year and we did not do.  We ended up spending the early morning and afternoon coloring, baking, and putting them together.  It took way longer then I thought, but it was fun and I thought it turned out very cute.

At the last minute we decided to drive out to College Station to go to Santa's Wonderland.  We had never been and we heard it was great.  We got our tickets online and drove up there.  When we got there there was no line so we stopped to eat dinner since we were early.  Big mistake!  We should have stayed in line because when went back the line was miles long!  At one point we thought about leaving it was so long, but it was moving and we decided to wait it out.  I am so glad we did.  The lights were wonderful and the kids loved it!  We sang Christmas songs and had a great time looking at everything.  I was very impressed.  I want to plan a trip later and maybe do the hayrides they offer and also go into Santa's village and see what all they have in there.
