We headed to my dad's house for Thanksgiving this year and had a nice, relaxing day with my mom and dad. Both kids were on their best behavior. Michael did smack his head right on the corner of the dining room table as we were bringing the food out. He had a nice goose egg, but was back to himself after a few tears. After dinner, the kids, grandma and I took a wagon ride around the neighborhood. (Well, the kids rode and I pulled their big butts.) I'm glad we all had a chance to hang out!
My little turkey.
My other little turkey with the big ol' goose egg on his big ol' noggin. He liked for me to pull him around in the Lego cart.
G-pa and the Worm.
G-ma and the Pear.
The best $9 I ever spent. He loves this toy.
On Friday, my BFF Lauri and her little cutie, Tony came to visit. We got to see them last month and I can't believe how much Tbone has grown in one month! What a cutie. The kids played in the floor and Lauri and I got to relax and just enjoy each other's company. I miss you Lauri! We used to raise a ruckus in our college days, but could have just as much fun hanging out painting pots and watching movies. I so wish they lived closer.
Taylor took this picture of Lauri, Tony and I. Thanks, Worm!
1-for-3 on getting my subjects to look at the camera. Hey, Max and Ruby was on.
0-for-3. Still a cute picture of the kids playing. Michael is checking out his future OSU college roommate. Taylor is contemplating whether or not she wants to babysit these guys some day. Tony is pushing the Pear out the way for more camera time.
Yay, it's Tony!
The Pear plays hard and naps hard. He always chews on his blanket while he's sleeping. It's so cute.
We got some more out-of-town visitors on Saturday. Brett, our friend from the old Wabash days, and his wife Ashley stopped by for a few hours. They live in Northern Michigan (and yes, he's a Michigan fan), but were in Cincy visiting relatives for Thanksgiving. They're expecting their first little one this spring and find out the gender this week. Can't wait to find out!
Saturday night, I talked Mike into taking the kids to our town's "Holidazzle Hometown Parade". It's a lighted Christmas parade and it was actually really cool (and really cold!!!). Taylor absolutely loved it, but I think Michael would have been happier cuddled up somewhere a little warmer.
The trick to staying warm during a parade in late November is to keep a buddled up kid on your lap.
Simply dazzling.
Basketball season starts on Saturday when Mike's team heads to Oak Hills. Good luck Hurricane!
Until next time,
Mommy Kel
