It was a crazy busy Thanksgiving weekend! We had 4 days off and we filled it with so many things! On Thursday the kids came over for Thanksgiving dinner--I made so much food and we definitely ate too much! Corey, Terrell & Nova left after dinner to head to his mom's house, but Gabby & Ethan stayed for a while to put up the Christmas tree and play some games (after a short nap!). On Friday morning Scott & I took the puppies for a short hike at Pt. Defiance before we took Corey, Terrell & Nova to the zoo. On Saturday we went to the Christmas Tree Festival at UPS with Jennifer, Corey, Terrell & Nova. The displays were beautiful! On Sunday evening we returned to the zoo for zoo lights. Now I'm officially exhausted, but ready for the holiday season!

 |

| Willy Wonka tree |
 |
| Cougar Tree! |
 |
| There was a Santa there, so of course we had to get pictures. She didn't cry, but she wasn't happy! |
 |
| Corey liked this reading tree. I don't think Nova was that excited about it. |
 |
| Kraken tree. |
 |
| These were the mini trees. |
