Was Thanksgiving really already a couple weeks ago? Really?! The calendar says we're well on our way to Christmas, but we're still basking in the glow of fun we had in Yreka over Thanksgiving. It was a party whirlwind, with Thanksgiving day and a couple parties for cousin Kari who's getting married this weekend! We wish we could go down to the wedding in San Diego with all the other Singletons, but we will be there in spirit and feel very lucky that we got to spend so much time with everyone over the holiday. Naturally, I don't have any photos of any of the festivities, but I do have many of the kids doing two activities they loved at Grandma & Grandpa's house: cruising around in the wheelbarrow and stomping in puddles. Will was often covered in mud as Kate encouraged him by giggling hysterically as he ran into puddles. And, whenever the wheelbarrow stopped, Will would frantically sign "MORE." Kate discovered the simple fun of being pushed around in the wheelbarrow when we were in Yreka for Thanksgiving when she was just about the same age Will is now. Like sister, like brother! We also went to the fantastic Yreka Christmas parade. Kate thought it was "better than Halloween" because almost every float threw candy---her pockets were so full, she could barely walk when it was over (fortunately for us, and her teeth, she forgot about the candy by the next day). It truly was a great trip because we got to spend so much time with family. Kate was in heaven having so many people to choose from to read her stories at bedtime! We've been back home for awhile now and it's just been a whirlwind lately (as usual). We're gearing up for our first Christmas at home since we had the kids. I don't think Kate's quite to the point where she gets the whole Santa thing; I asked her if she wanted to go sit on Santa's lap and tell him what she wants for Christmas and she replied, "Why would I want to do THAT?!" Maybe next year?
