Thanksgiving Break

The girls had a blast on their Thanksgiving "break" from school and got to spend a lot of time with their two cousins who were in town from California.  I took a few extra hours off work on day too so my sister-in-law and I could take the kids to Duck Donuts and then burn of their energy (and sugar!) at Recreations Outlet.  We also went to COSI on Black Friday (and it actually wasn't very crowded) and I started to get out our Christmas decorations.  We capped off our extra long weekend by cheering for the Buckeyes and going to Wildlights at the Zoo (had to take advantage of a 50+ degree day!).

The girls with baby Jack (Cece looks like such a big kid here)

The girls watching them make their donuts at Duck Donuts

They couldn't decide which two to get so we got three and then took the extra one home to Todd

Cece is just giddy with excitement to eat her donut

Cousins devouring their donuts

William & Lucy jumping together on the trampoline...

and holding hands while going down the slide

Cece was perfectly content attempting to ride the scooter the entire time we were there 

Tire swing fun

I got out our big bin of Christmas books and they immediately sat down and looked through them all; it was a great way to entertain them for awhile

Getting ready for the OSU vs Michigan game on Saturday (if you hadn't noticed yet, Cece is obsessed with pigtails right now and asks for them almost every morning)

Another family pic but this time on Sunday at Wildlights at the Zoo

Sweet girls indulging in my need for a sister picture at the zoo

We got there at dusk and stayed for a little over an hour before heading home; it was packed by the time we left

Loved this huge tree near the entrance
