First, we enjoyed dinner at John's North Star.
Not Paige's best look.
Then, we headed back to Grammy's and Papa's where we all jumped on The Polar Express train and had some dessert!
Even Chloe got a ticket!
Happy Birthday Grammy - we love you!

Thanksgiving Weekend
Friday morning Paige and I headed out to meet my mom and sisters to do a little Black Friday shopping. We didn't head out super early (we met at 8 AM at Starbucks), but I did get quite a bit of my shopping done! Of course, we had lunch at Mi Margarita (as we do every year). While us girls shopped, Wally golfed with my Dad (60 degrees in November!) and Luke went to see The Muppets Movie with Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Abby.
Paige in her shopping clothes minutes before she had a blowout!
Friday night we went out for my mom's birthday - separate post to come on that!
We headed back home around 10 AM on Saturday morning. We have made it a tradition to put up all of our Christmas decorations Thanksgiving weekend so we did just that!
My little helper!
Watching Daddy!
Checking out the lights!
Luke refused to put the angel on the tree so we all watched Daddy do it!
And the newest tradition we have started is enjoying our new Christmas decor while drinking hot chocolate, eating chocolate chip cookies, and watching Polar Express (a favorite in our house)!
(Not the most festive pajamas Luke could wear, but he insisted on wearing his short-sleeved dragon ones!)
Sunday was full of church, some grocery shopping and Christmas shopping for me, and relaxing!
Oh and guess who is sitting up so well with very little assistance...
She won't roll, but she is just about sitting up - I can't believe it! That girl has got some abs underneath that belly :)

Thanksgiving
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with our families! Here is a recap mostly in pictures!
First up, was Thanksgiving dinner with the Zukowski's on Wednesday night.
Luke loves his fruit, especially when it looks like a turkey!
Paige eating her Thanksgiving dinner - oatmeal.
Luke loves playing the piano with Grandma.
And the dogs love Wally!
On Thanksgiving, we had lunch at my Grandparent's and then appetizers and dessert with the Kohr's at my parent's house, but first an attempt at some pics!
"Cousins" Logan and Luke
They are just a little excited for some chocolate turkey cake!
Meeting Baby Jack for the first time - this is my cousin Matt's son. He is just 2 weeks younger than Paige!
Carly's Halloween costume she brought home for Luke to have!
Playing cars with Sophia

Words with Luke
(Some of these go back a few months - this post was started on 8/24)
Me: Luke did you go to the library today?
Luke: Yes, the truck took me.
Me: What truck?
Luke: The semi truck.
Me: Oh really. I think you are telling stories.
Luke: No, I telling words.
Luke: Look Mommy! 2 cranes and a bobcat.
Me: Cool!
Luke: I just love bobcats.
Me: You do?
Luke: Yeah.
Me: Why do you love them?
Luke: Because they scoop up dirt.
As I am feeding Paige, Luke says "Mommy, you have booby milk in your nipples." (Thanks for saying booby milk one time Wally!)
Me: (yawn) I am tired Lukey.
Luke: Why?
Me: I just am.
Luke: You need to take a nap?
Me: I would love that.
Luke: With a blanket?
Me: That would be perfect.
Luke: I can watch cartoons when you nap (in a very excited voice!)
Me: Look, there is a police car. (had it's lights on)
Luke: I think it is going to save people.
Everyday he tells us who everyone is going to be for Halloween (next year). It is usually all of the Cars characters or from The Wizard of Oz. He said the other day completely out of the blue that Chloe (my parents golden retriever) is going to be the Wicked Witch and that Chloe will only trick-or-treat in the daytime.
Luke says "that's so silly!" a lot.
After talking with Papa and me about his birthday party last year and it snowing pretty badly, Luke tells me almost everyday in the car that he hopes it doesn't snow on his birthday because he will be sad.
When he sees commercials for toys or looks through catalogs and flyers at the toys, he is sure to mention which toys are for girls. He always says, "that's for you Mommy because you're a girl".
Luke was telling us the days of the week during supper and then he started saying the days in Spanish. I swear he knows way more in Spanish than we are aware!

A Productive (Exhausting) Weekend
The weekend was good. We really just stayed around the house and got A LOT done! It felt good to cross a lot of stuff off of our, well I guess "my", list. The only thing that didn't get crossed off was a good night's sleep. (This is the last time I will talk about sleep on this blog until I have some really great news to share.) Paige is up every 2 hours like clockwork (10, 12, 2, and 4). I have no idea what the deal is! Every night I think to myself, "she is going to sleep good tonight - I just know it!", but it hasn't happened yet.
Here are some pics of our weekend!
Good Morning!
Fun in the jumperoo - yes, we still wear skeleton jammies around here!
And fun in the walker!
Playtime in the kitchen.
Football fun!
Telling me a very serious story!
A sleepy Daddy!
All ready to head out to eat! (We haven't been out to eat in a few weeks. The last few times have not been the best experiences, but I am happy to say that last night was a success!)
The restaurant wore somebody out! (This ended up being a late catnap for the Miss so we put her down later than normal to see if that would help her sleep at night - nope, same 10, 12, 2, and 4!)
Mommy and her little ballerina before church!
Cheese!
One more of the sweet ballerina!
And some pics of our new and improved (but still a work-in-progress) family/play room (basement).
We sort of created our own entertainment center. Dad - can you believe those ends are still in-tact and standing??? 7 years and 2 moves...it was well worth the time it took you and Wally to build it!
We moved our desk (which we rarely even use) to the far corner of the basement to allow more room for toys (or golfing)!
Hope you all had a great weekend!
