Baby Drew

This past weekend we got to babysit our nephew/cousin Drew for a few hours.  He's such a sweet little dude.

Birthday boy turned one this weekend.

Thanksgiving

We had the privilege of hosting T-giving at our house this year.  It was fun to have everyone here.  For the meal, it was my bro and his family, my parents, and my uncle.  After lunch a few other stragglers came to hang out and have leftovers.  Another fun year with family.

Claudia made these adorable little pilgrims for name holders

The kids table.  Naughty as all get out.

My brother, the ever-increasing dork.

Good times

We love the Odells.  They are our friends from church/country neighbors.  M babysits for us and C is Aaron's good buddy.  Yesterday we invited them over for lunch and some Pittsburg Steelers ice cream.  No, we are not converting, they just make good ice cream!!

They spend a loong time decorating the road and the driveway.

Yes, Morgan is wearing pj pants.  I'm not quite sure who is responsible for dressing that child.

This picture makes me laugh for so many reasons.  Every time I look at it I giggle.

Black Rock

These last few days Steve has been at Black Rock on a personal retreat.  Last night we joined him for a little bit of family fun.  I love that place.  I grew up going there to camp and then worked there when I was in high school.  Lots of fun memories.  When we arrived, Steve had gifts for the kids.  Greta got a horsie and the other kids got wooden planes.

                       

The beautiful cabin that we stayed in.

Steve had them yelling something ridiculous like, "VELVEETA!!"

Blurry, but sweet.

Bed head + trains

Salad

Let's just say that my boy loves him some salad.  I have never seen a child of mine attack salad like he does.  He often says that salad is his favorite food and almost always wants seconds.  The other night he was going to town and I couldn't resist.

Craft Show

This weekend my mom is hosting a craft show in her home.  Her and some friends have been working very hard to hand make all kinds of cute things.  I took some pics today of a few things.  There will also be lots of baked goods, adorable baby items, those oh-so-cute flowers that you can pin in your hair or on a jacket, and much more.  Claudia is all into it, she's been baking up a storm to try and make some money to buy Christmas presents.
If you are interested in coming, it is this Friday and Sat.  Feel free to contact my mom or I if you have any ?'s.
