Thanksgiving Fun

We went to Tom's sister Becky's house for Thanksgiving. The boys got to see Grammy, Pappy, Aunt Becky, Uncle Brad, Uncle Craig and their cousins Ava & Aiden. They had a great time.

                                     Brad & Becky did an amazing job on the food, as usual!

 When we got home, the boys modeled their Pow Wow party vests and hats they'd made at school.

                                    

 

 

Christmas Before Thanksgiving

I usually don't get into the Christmas spirit until early December but the boys started talking about it in August and a lot of retailers started decorating before Halloween. I decided to take Evan & Dylan  to the mall last Sunday afternoon and thought that -maybe- we would see Santa if the waiting line wasn't too long. Turns out there was practically no line at all when we got there so we made that our first stop before lunch and we were in and out in less than 5 minutes! The picture turned out cute, too.

 

The boys really enjoyed their lollipops that Santa gave them!

 

 

 

While Evan Is Away...

Dougal loves to get in Evan's bed but this was the first time I found him

snuggled up with Evan's favorite stuffed animal, a buffalo named "Chief."

A Happy Halloween
