cousins all in red... Brittany and Garrett got red p.j.s too.

I forgot the camera for any activity with the Irish side, sad about that. So I am waiting for them to post so I can snag a few.

It was a fun weekend. Thursday, a.m., hung out with my family. Went to Kmart in the morning, Trevor - Garrett - Eric went and played turkey bowl with Shane, helped with dinner, ate and ate, went to Bob and Julee's for dessert, planned shopping for the next day. It was a perfect Thanksgiving day. I am thankful for family and food!

Friday was shopping, shopping, shopping, a nap, dinner, wrapping and bed. Yes, we were at our first store at 5:00 a.m. and didn't finish until around 1:30 p.m. It was a blast... went with my mom, Cathy and Brittany. I am thankful for this tradition and good deals!

Saturday the children went to Grandma's for the morning, they made ornaments. We had lunch there and then home to chill out. I ran to a few other stores that afternoon with Cathy and Jessica. That night I went and saw New Moon with my Irish family, super fun. I am thankful for shopping, movies and the fun that comes with it.

I loved being with the family, both sides. Family makes the Holidays PERFECT.

Indian Zach

He came home from school like this. He loved it and didn't even want me to wash it off in the bath. He is so cute. He loves things he does at school.

Virgil's Wedding

Our friend Virgil got Married! He and Joann are so cute together. We are not meant to be alone so we are so grateful he found someone to spend his life with. Don't ask my why I didn't even get a shot of the bride and groom but here is there cake topper... to funny!

Here is the family waiting for the Bride and Groom to show up at their reception so we could eat!

Allergy Warning

Katie is allergic to WALNUTS. At school they made some peanut butter balls with walnuts in them and it made her upper lips swell up like a balloon. This is after she had medicine, a little nap during the play they were watching, and about 5+ hours to heal.

It was just a small amount of nuts so... NO NUTS FOR KATIE.

She ate something out her pocket on her way to school, it was a piece of the walnut thing and it got big again. So, again, I say ABSOLUTELY NO NUTS.

1st laugh

Jason laughed for the first time Sunday night. I was changing him into his p.j.s and when I took off his shirt he started to laugh. I proceeded to tickle him and he laughed a few more times. I love to see his face smile and then out comes a little laugh.

Morgan

Yesterday when I was putting Morgan down for her nap she told me that she loved me.

When I put her down I always tuck her in and then say, " I love you, Happy nappy." I was down tucking her in and was about the say my nap phrase and she said the I love you part first. It melted my heart. Today she said I love you again.

I just love when they start talking in phrases and sentences, she is getting so grown up.
