No, we're not potty-training, but....

Osh Kosh

This was just too cute. C and M get so excited when they wear dresses!

Did I do that?

Drawing! Caroline and Macie "accidentally" drew pictures on their hands, too!

O, Christmas Tree!

The girls with their chosen tree!

Walking home - don't worry, it was only a block, and Mike actually pushed the stroller, but we thought this shot was hilarious!

Thanksgiving FUN!

Macie leads the way into the melee! It was so fun!

Playing with the family

Thanksgiving 2009

We had a wonderful time with my mom's side of the family coming to our house for Thanksgiving this year! Linda, Jim and Carly came up from Cali, Steve and Judy came down from Bellingham, as did my parents, and my sister, Tony, and the boys came out from Monroe. It was a LOT of fun to have such a full house! Here are some of the highlights....

Jim reading to Macie
Carly helping Caroline try on her shoes (I could not keep their two names straight all weekend!)

THE TRIATHLON! Event 1: Boomerang toss - Jim demonstrates for Jon and Gabe

Event 2: Pin the WADDLE on the Turkey! Here's Tony doing it wrong and Steve doing it correctly!

Event 3: How many spoons can you balance on your face?! Linda and Mom, holding their breath! Caroline joins in....



Not an event, but cute - Daco and Macie on the potty

Dinner time!

The whole family (Macie is behind Gabe's large noggin!)

And, everyone - totally stuffed! We missed having GGLu celebrate with us as she did 2 years ago.
