Happy Thanksgiving!!

Having a week off of school after you've had a week at home with sickies is a little different but I still think we took advantage of the time together doing crafts, working puzzles and crosswords, baking, and going to see family. Our Thanksgiving was lowkey here in town this year. We got to spend a day over on my sister's side of town at a jump park which the kids loved! We spent Thanks here and I convinced my mom to order in from La Madeline's. I am now their biggest marketer! It was so yummy and so easy and really reasonably priced. I think we should do this for every year going forward! We also got to go out for a ride on papa's horse which is always so nice and beautiful weather made the time fun too. Vivian and I covered desserts with our turkey cupcakes. Enjoy some top pics.

A time of Rest

Shortly after Isaac's party Mommy & Isaac got sick. We were able to squeeze in one friend's ChickfilA party. Happy birthday buddy Hadyn! We spent a couple of weeks taking it easy but praise to God that we made it through our party and our good friend's party and that we had it to rest. In that time, we also got to take advantage of some new toys and we kept our "family" dog- my sister's grandpa dog Oreo. Here are some fav pics.

Happy 5th Birthday to Isaac my little TMNT!

For Isaac's 5th birthday we decided to combine his new love of karate with his new love of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Thanks to the generosity of Nana and mommy we were able to have it at the place we take Karate. It was so nice and simple and I think really worked with the theme. We had a ball coming up with TMNT references, little decorations, and treats. Isaac was the most involved he's ever been picking out all the giveaways this year. Enjoy the slideshow.

Happy Wreck It Halloween

This year, we decided to do a family theme with just our little four pack. I also decided we would participate more in our church's trunk or treat by hosting a trunk. Needless to say, I went a little crazy with the theme! Check out pic of Nick and I in front of our van trunk. So...if you have seen the movie Wreck It Ralph you will understand us completely but if you haven't you won't have a clue. (If you haven't go rent it. It's really sweet and very fitting to our little candy loving, video gaming crew.) My sister's family also had a secret theme of Despicable Me 2. I loved my little nephew and niece's hats. Vivian kept saying how Aunt Emmy made the best Lucy. (Check out the pics of the Boyd family.) The funniest part of the whole dress up this year was how people didn't recognize me with blonde hair. So you ask, do blonde's have more fun? Hmmm....it may be a toss up! Enjoy the slideshow.
