Let It Snow!!!

Ethan, Ky, and Blake played out in the snow today. It took forever to get them into their snow clothes, and then Blake only lasted about 3 minutes outside. He was not thrilled about getting wet and cold. Ethan and Kylie built a snowman riding on a bike, it was super cute!

Simply For Your Viewing Pleasure

These are 2 wonderful pictures of Sweet Lu playing in the snow in her pink parka. What a beautiful animal!!!

Our Fabulous Gingerbread House

Today we constructed our yearly gingerbread house. Adrian always puts it together and the kids decorate it with him. It was so much fun! Ethan, Kylie, and Blake are at the best ages to do fun things, I love it!

Dereks Orc Face

For a while now, Derek has been making this very strange face and I finally got photos of it. He scrunches up his nose and makes some sort of weird snorting/sniffing sound. He reminds us of an Orc from Lord of the Rings! (Please pardon the nose crusties and the mouth dripping milk.)

{Jamie} These Are For You!!!

At Jamie's request, I have posted some photos of a cat in various costumes. This cat goes by the name of Arpeigio. No, really this is my mothers stuffed cat who she loves very much. So much, that she spends a good amount of money on his small outfits. She wanted me to take some photos for her so that she could make a montage for her wall. (No, I am totally joking!!!) She is putting the pictures in a book for a little autistic boy in one of her classes. He loves Arpeigio and is going to be so happy! My mom is the sweetest person ever! I just hope she never becomes a crazy old cat woman!

Oh! What A Lou!

Have you ever seen such a Lou?! Yesterday was my lovely Daisy's 3rd birthday and she had such a great time! Grandma Joan made her a fabulous card and gave her a pink fleece blanket with black paw prints on it(so super cute)! We gave her little gingerbread man toys to have as her babies(she always sleeps with a baby). Jamie brought over her birthday hat tonight and we had cake. Her birthday hat was so dang cute! It was so Daisy! Daisy got to taste her cake and we got lots of darling photos! I love you so much my little Lou Lou Poo-pants, best friends forever!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We had a great day. We went to my moms and ate a very wonderful dinner! My mom's dressing is the best in the world and Adrian LOVES her turkey gravy. One of my moms Thanksgiving traditions is to have everyone dress up like Indians and take photos. Ethan, Kylie, and Blake dress up and do Indian dances with my mom. She is the funnest! I am so very thankful for my wonderful family. I love them more than they will ever know. I am so happy to have had my grandparents here for another year, I love them so much! Also, it was so fun to be able to spend Thanksgiving with my sister, her husband and their twins. I love those babies! Most of all I am thankful for my Adrian, for being the most patient and loving husband and for my beautiful children, who I absolutely adore!
