Today we celebrated a small family thanksgiving dinner. It was nice to be able to sit down just our little family and celebrate the many things we are thankful for. It’s been a hard year but with each passing day it’s getting easier. I also want to take this opportunity to say Thank You to all our friends and family who didn’t celebrate with us today how much their love and support has meant to us and that we are thankful for all of you.

Today our family made a Pumpkin Pie and some Pumpkin Tarts. It was fun backing as a family even if the kids wont eat pumpkin pie. Of course the real test will be tomorrow during our small thanksgiving dinner. All I can say is I’m glad we made the tarts, because I don’t think one pie would have lasted till tomorrow.

For weeks Jacob has been asking me to hak the Wii so he could play Newer Super Mario Bros. Today I finally did, first with our old Wii and then on the main one. It was a simple process and he was so happy once it was done. I have to say I’m quite impressed by how well done Newer Super Mario Bros is. It could almost be from Nintendo. Of course now I want to explore the other possibilities I have with the Wii now that we have the Home Brew channel.

Today was the last day of school before Thanksgiving so Violet brought how her Turkey. I have to say It’s great to have a kindergartener again. I missed all the art that Jacob brought home when he was in kindergarten.

Today while Jacob was working on his homework, Violet joined him and worked on her writing. Most of the words are her writing, just the two circled ones were written by her Nan as examples. I’m so impressed with how much my little girls writing has improved over the last few weeks.

Today Jacob brought home a little surprise. I was a science test, one that he didn’t mention he had. Of course it’s the 97% mark he got made me so proud that I thought I’d share some of his test as today’s picture of the day.

Today was Jacob’s Beaver Thanksgiving potluck. One of the deserts was Marshmallows and Violet was very excited to have one. I’m not sure why she used a knife and fork to eat it, but she was very careful as she cut it into bite size pieces. It was fun to see Jacob playing with all the other kids. I really think he’s going to like being a beaver.

Today was the first day of our kids hockey seasons. It was also Violet’s first game ever. Both did great and are very excited that the season has started. We spent around 4 hours in the rink today, and I’m thinking that will be a pretty normal Saturday. I was pretty light with the camera today, only 200 pictures between the SLR and my Cell phone. I took a bunch and put together today’s picture of the day collage. I think it’s safe to say I’ll be doing something more with today’s pictures. Of course in the coming months I’ll have lots of Saturday hockey pictures.

Today after everyone else was in bed I sat down to try something new. Something for the season, a Pumpkin Ale. It’s got a nice hit of pumpkin spice. I think I’ll have to pick up another bottle or two before the season for pumpkin beer ends.
