Thanksgiving 2014

We had a great Thanksgiving with both of our families!

As usual, we kicked off the holiday with the Zukowski's on Wednesday night!




As you can see, Luke Skywalker joined us for dinner!

And we had the cutest centerpiece :)

Silly Paigey!



Napkins can be entertaining!

And then Luke found the mustaches :)



Hi Bright Eyes!



A Thanksgiving story as told by Paige!



Thursday started with lunch at Grammy & Papa's and these two crazy girls!

Ty was looking very spiffy!







An attempt at a grandkids pic! Not too bad!

Not a fan of broccoli!





The cutest kids' table!



After lunch, we headed over to my grandparents for a bit!





And then it was back to Grammy & Papa's for drinks & dessert with the Kohr's!

JJ & Paige - just 2 weeks apart in age!



Oh, hey!



Thanksgiving Day is exhausting!

It was a fun Thanksgiving that ended with our tradition of Black Friday shopping and celebrating Grammy's birthday!

Lunch at Mi Margarita after some shopping!



These two little girls were troopers!



We finished our Thanksgiving weekend by putting up our Christmas decorations! 

Daddy had a special little elf helping him this year!



Once the decorations were up, it was time to watch Polar Express & drink hot chocolate as we have done the last few years!



Unfortunately, Paige was sick on Saturday & Sunday with a high fever and didn't get to help much with the decorating. In fact, she slept for 4 hours Saturday afternoon - poor baby girl! :(

This guy has been thoroughly enjoying his walker!

And he wondered if this is what we do with these ornaments!

We are all ready for the next holiday & all of the fun Christmas activities we have planned!

Halloween 2014

We had a great Halloween, even though actual Halloween was basically a blizzard out.  We did a few fun things leading up to Halloween!

First up was Luke & Paige's Halloween Party at school.  It was on a Friday night and there was a DJ, pizza, and ice cream. 





We saw some of the girls from Paige's class, who then found their teacher Mrs. Murphy!  She is such a wonderful teacher and seriously didn't mind dancing with the girls all night!



Luke was busy running around like a crazy man with his friends!

We also went to Boo at the Zoo for the second year in a row. This year we went with some friends and on the last day and it was gorgeous out. Needless to say, it was super crowded!

We did discover that our sit 'n stand stroller works for 3 kids :)





Apparently the sun was in their eyes...

A giant pumpkin!





We of course did some pumpkin carving at home!

This is what this guy did while we were carving!



Once again, no one was really excited to dig into their pumpkin.

So Daddy was angry that he had to do all the hard work :)





Love these little pumpkins!



Then they got to dress up at school on Halloween. It was basically a party day since they had a 1/2 day!



And I spent the morning with this cutie!



The preschoolers were supposed to parade outside for the parents before pickup, but it was a rainy, cold, windy day so they paraded inside instead and sang us a couple of songs!







We finally got this little guy in his costume!



As cute as can be!





I have learned it is very difficult to get 3 kids all looking in your general direction with a halfway decent look on their face ;)



Once Daddy got home from school, he took Luke & Paige out trick-or-treating for a bit. I'm not kidding when I say it was a blizzard. The snow was blowing sideways...so sad for the trick-or-treaters. Ty and I stayed in and handed out candy. We then hit the road around 5:00 to head to Grandma & Grandpa's house. They always have a big Halloween party and this year's theme was Star Wars!





It was another fun & successful Halloween!
