Fun Days!

Luke learned all about the Native Americans and Pilgrims in school last week. He told me how the Pilgrims landed and then he told me the Indians and the Pilgrims ate and played together. The school also had a Thanksgiving feast for the children, made by the children. It included stone soup and cornbread. That's all I could get out of Luke except he told me it was good too. Luke loved his outfit so much, he wore it for three days in a row. He wouldn't even take it off for a birthday party.
My cutie girls, love to dress them coordinating and thankfully Amelia loves it too. She asks everyday if she and Addison can match.

The children have been off of school all week for Thanksgiving break so holiday spirit is in full swing around the Boskovich household. Addison has been watching us with great curiosity in her eyes, wondering what is going on. The kids and I have been blaring Christmas music and decorating the house. So far Addison is a big fan of any Christmas decoration that sings, lights up or dances (even better if it does all three).
Addison Kate all squeaky clean. Her cute bottom teeth show but she also has gotten two upper teeth, but not the middle teeth. She looks like a little vampire.

To celebrate the children being off of school, we let them each choose a fun day just for them and a parent. Luke chose Chuck E Cheese with Daddy. The boys went early, at 9am (who knew Chuck E Cheese was even open then?). Great idea because it was just the two of them for an hour and a half. Luke had a blast with Daddy playing all the games and gathering oodles and oodles of tickets. On Luke's day we ended up going out on the boat too and then that evening we had a bonfire. While we were sitting by the fire Luke said, "Wow Mom, this was a really, super fun day. We went to Chuck E Cheese, out on our boat and get to have s'mores by the fire." I agree buddy, super fun day with the kids.
Love this picture of Amelia. She is just getting so big now.

Guess what Amelia chose for her special Mom/Amelia day? Amelia and I went horseback riding again and Amelia couldn't wait to go see her favorite horse Bullseye. She kept giving him hugs and telling him she missed him. It was so cute, she just adores being at the stables.

This particular day it was just Amelia and I at the stables and the owner is so kind. She always makes it so special for Amelia. She asked Amelia if she would groom Bullseye and Amelia was so excited. Miss Mary had Amelia put the special conditioner on the tail and brush out the tail and the mane. Amelia kept telling Bullseye, "Now you will be all set Bullseye."
Out on the trails. Bullseye is such a wonderful horse, he is so gentle and takes such good care of Amelia. On the other hand, I had Darlin'. The name does not fit the horse. Miss Mary said, "Now Jenni, this horse needs some breaking in, you have to show him who is boss right away or he will bite Bullseye and run." Um, excuse me, I was hoping more for the 90 year old horse that limps. The first part of my ride was a little tense as I "broke" Darlin' but eventually he caved in and realized I was the boss. Amelia was all smiles as normal when she is near a horse. It was a fun week, with lots of family fun time.
