Wee little baby braids.

Thanksgiving

Happy Turkey Day !

I hope everyone had a wonderful food and fun-filled day!  We had a great time.  Mitch was moonlighting at the VA, which sort of sucked, since it's Thanksgiving, but we'll really get some use out of the extra cash, so you take what you can get.  My parents and my brother, Dan and his wife, Kali came up to spend the day with us.  We ate a lot and watched a couple of Bill Engvall DVD's.  That guy is funny.

Myra got to enjoy her first Thanksgiving meal.  And by "enjoy", I mean devour as much as possible, then smear the rest over various parts of her head and hair.  Here she is shoveling Mac and Cheese in with the fork, while holding a strip of turkey in the other hand.  It's next...

Here she is with mashed potato hair gel.  Yum!

At least she helped clean up!  Where is Logan you ask?  Napping, actually.  He crashed out at noon, and still wasn't up when we ate at three.  Lest you think I am a mean mommy, he wouldn't touch Thanksgiving food with a 10 foot pole.  When he woke up, he ate some bread and three bowls of Cheerios.  Crazy kid.

I hope your day was full of things to be thankful for!

Seriously, I can't wait to see the rest of the wedding pictures, when this is the preview that Dan and Kali's photographer has on his Flickr. His work is amazing. And so is that sweet model!

Date night!

...but this time it was our turn to watch the kiddos. We had so much fun!! Our friends brought over their sweet ones, and had a few hours of couple time and we got to play. Logan and Myra were in heaven! All of the kids were really great and played well together. We had a dance party, inspired by Katelyn. She picked the music, so we rocked out to Jingle Bells.
Aren't they awesome?!? They all had such a great time. And so did we.

Free time...

Date night!

Tonight Mitch and I had the coolest date! He took me to the Dead Fish Grill. I know, appealing sounding, isn't it? But it was so fun!This was the view from our table. No zoom - that is really what we saw. Wow!!
Here I am enjoying the view.
I guess this guy wanted to enjoy it, too.
The coolest part - there was live music!! We had an amazing time. The food was great. The atmosphere was awesome. Did I mention that there was live music!! Seriously, you have to go.

Halloween

I guess you are supposed to take a bunch of pictures of your kids on Halloween... We took so many of them in their costumes at the Renaissance Faire that I guess we were a little lazy for the actual holiday. But there are a few.

Here are the kids at the Music Makers Halloween party.Myra quickly figured out what Halloween is all about.Candy, candy and more candy... Anyone have any good tips for getting Reece's Pieces drool out of a white tee shirt?
