Zoo to You

I'm on the Board of my Mothers of Young Children group at church this year. My role is to help plan the childrens activities this year - I thought it would be a fun position since I'll be going to lots of them with Molly anyway and it's something her and I can do together! This morning, we had the Kansas City Zoo come to our meeting space to talk about the animals with us - Zoo to You! They even brought a few animals along with them - a hedgehog, a cockroach, a snake, and a chicken!

After we saw the animals, we made our own bookmarks with animal stickers!

Thanksgiving Day with McGinnis Family!

We road-tripped to Omaha early Thanksgiving morning to spend the holiday with Mike's family! It was a gorgeous fall day to gather together!

We arrived in time to help out with the big dinner preparations! Here is Grandma Pat basting the turkey with a delicious bourbon glaze!! The house smelled AMAZING!!

Molly played with cousin Vaughn's legos . . .

Aunt Kathy and Grandma & Grandpa Pat gave her a few 2nd Birthday gifts!

Molly was SOO excited!

WOW! Her very own shopping cart - with a spot to put Baby Emilie! Thanks Aunt Kathy!!

Molly wanted to help Grandma in the kitchen a lot! Grandma was VERY patient with her!

Jeff brought his girlfriend, Anne and her daughter, Emma with him and Vaughn for the holiday! Emma and Molly made place-cards for the dinner table that night!

Molly had lots of fun playing with cousin Vaughn (age 5 1/2).
