Thanksgiving Recap

We got to see lots of family over Thanksgiving, which is always a great thing.  First up, Mimi and Poppop's house....

A little reading....


And a little playing....


Then the next day was Thanksgiving! :)



This sweet cherub face - isn't he ADORABLE? :)


This bib means business, and Peter got to have green beans this Thanksgiving.  I have a feeling he'll be eating a lot more than beans next year ;)


Back from that visit, we headed to Mawna and Paps to kick off our Christmas season.  The guys abandoned the girls - which meant we have 5 kids 5 and under to care for all while making hard-tack candy.....so we turned on a movie :)

During the scary parts, Mawna came to the rescue.


Cinnamon was helping with the candy making :) 


The boys returned! Uncle Tom read a funny book to the girls...April looks a little unsure :)


Then we kicked the big kids out with the guys and Aunt Chelle....They went up to the parade site a little bit early and checked out some of the extra activities.  The kiddos had a blast!


During the parade, I had this little guy to keep me warm!

There were "balloons just like the Maceys parade" -- a quote from my mother.....what do you think?


Sweet Brooke with her Mom :)


This is the best one - Uncle Bill yelled at the handlers until they raised it up a bit and we all cheered really loud!  It was okay though, Bill had traveled 5 hours to get to see these balloons....don't be afraid of a little wind! :)

Who knows if the parade will be a tradition, but candy making is!  We are looking forward to more Christmas traditions to happen this month!

Camping Trips #2 and #3

At the beginning of August, we went on a camping trip with my immediate family. We had great campsites, right next to each other, and had fabulous weather. Chloe had a great time hanging out with her Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Michelle: She also loved my dad's cell phone ringtone: Who says you can't eat great food while you're camping? Check out our dinner feast on Saturday night....Corn on the cob, cheeseburgers, grilled pineapple: Chloe had her first taste of the "beach" when we went to the lake one day. It was the first time she was in the sand, and I think she really liked it! When looking back at the camping pictures, I realized that Chloe wore a lot of hats on this trip: We got back from a Cousins Camping Trip on Sunday night. (Almost) All my cousins got together for the weekend and we had a great time. Another camping trip with good campsites and this time we just had okay weather. It rained Saturday night so everything was a bit soggy on Sunday ...

I hope he's not moving in....
