Thanksgiving

My family came out from California for the holiday weekend.

Thanksgiving Dinner at our house:

Round the table:  Dad, Mom, Ryan, P, Sophie Anne, Molly, Don

My seat was between the kids at the end of the table :)

Thank you everyone... that was so special... keep your envelopes and remember you are loved!

It's officially the Christmas season!  

Drawing Christmas pictures (on pink paper of course) and making a countdown chain:

We all went downtown one night for dinner and a Jazz game.

Best buddies

We spent an evening over at my Aunt Karen's house.  Porter made up this game all on his own, and got others to play it as well.  We thought it was pretty clever for a two year old.

Porter's ball game:

Object- To throw the balls from a distance and get them to land or roll into the little sunken button areas on the ottoman.

Celebrating Christmas a little early (since we won't see each other in December):

The Fam... Ry's taking the pic

Yeah.... presents!

Snowman set... just add snow!
This was the favorite... musical "George in the Box"








The anticipation...
even after the 100th time...

... it just never got old!
