From the far side of the world!

So Kevin just sent me some pictures of a dinner he went to for Thanksgiving.  He went to Seoul for a dinner and here are some pictures of that.

All I want for Christmas

need I say more?

Christmas Cheer.

Today we went over to Aunt Mandy's house to make some ginger bread houses and play in their way fun back yard.  One quick project for the little kids since the big cousins were still in school.  I'm not sure if it was more fun "tasting" the candy or putting it on our houses.

I guess we know what to add to the Christmas list next year

Deck the Halls

So It is that time of year, and we dug the tree out of the storage shed.  it is pre-lit so it was a major time (and aggravation) saver.  We pulled the ornaments out and let the kids have at them to explore while i decorate.



yes, i know there is a section of lights out, but i can't find the dead bulb to replace it, so i left it



say CHEESE!

Since we were home so close to family this year I thought we would celebrate in style (for a 2 year old)  So we met up with cousins and grandparents and went to Chuck E Cheese.  We had balloons and cake and pizza galore.  We played games and ran around and wore out grandpa and grandma.

more cake please.

 The older cousins were busy playing as many games as they could possible fit in before they ran out of coins they showed up to grab some cake then off again

Party Time!

So we have a couple of parties back to back. we celebrated cousin Travis' birthday early since Uncle Jared was going to be out of town on a job. The kiddos had a blast. Between the Jump house and pinata, how much more can you ask for. But my children found the food table the best



FOOD!!




guess what he's looking at..

The boy's had a blast.  I couldn't keep up with Travis long enough when i had my camera to get a picture of the birthday bou :(
