I hope you all have had a fabulous Thanksgiving Break spent with family and friends! Mine has been busy, busy, busy and of course, I have captured it all via photos, so here goes! I will do a numbered list of everything that was accomplished over the break.
1. Teaching
I got to go to school with my mom last Friday and I was able to teach a few lessons on bullying (great activity that relates to this, let me know if you want a copy!) and of course a few read alouds including one on Thanksgiving! Afterwards, I found a great idea on Pinterest for making pilgrim hats, so we made some together!
Ta daaa!! They looked great in the end and of course the kids loved them because it was food!!
We went to GoodWill and found 8 books for $5...what a steal!!
2. Baking!!
I love baking, and I have been able to do quite a bit of it at school, but there is just something about being home and being able to bake that is just great :) (It also helps that my family nags me to make stuff all the time, and I can't say no to that!!)
Of course I made some CC cookies
And some oreo balls...the most addicting things EVERRRRR!
DELICIOUS!!
3. Topeka with the Beams
I spent a few days in Topeka visiting Cam's family and had so much fun! Jill (Cam's mom) was already all decked out for Christmas which made me so happy and excited! On Tuesday night, I helped her set up the tree in the basement! We did the dirty work while the lazy boys watched the KSU bball game :)
The final product of the tree we set up in the basement :)
Gary (Cam's step dad) fixed us up a bunch of holiday drinks to try!! Mine was a peppermint thing that was QUITE peppermint-y, but we all still had fun trying the different drinks and talking :)
Of course we held puppies, because Cam and I can't NOT hold puppies when we get the chance. We fell in love with this little doxen :)
Doesn't this dog just look like he belongs with us?!?!?!
Thanksgiving day with Cam's sister, Carmen (far left) and his niece, Mickayla :)

Not the best picture, but it's the only one we got on Thanksgiving!
4. Time with the Boyers
Cam also came to KC for a few days and got to hang out with my family! Up first, Black Friday (well, Thursday night, SHOPPING!!!)
We made dad wear the hat so we could keep track of him in the crazy Wal Mart crowds!!
All our purchases!! $1.96 movies and my mom got a set of 30 rubbermaid holders for $6!!!
Mayor's Tree Lighting!!
Aww, cute parents
The chocolate dipped pretzel Cam bought me :)
Miseltoe headband? Yes please
Plaza lights!!
It was also great to just get to spend some time with Cam where school wasn't totally interrupting our social life!! Here are just some random silly pictures we took together throughout the break :)
It was a great break and a great way to kick off the OFFICIAL, holiday season!!! Have a great rest of your break, what's left of it!!
Until then,
Brittany
