Happy Thanksgiving (not the 'real' thanksgiving EH!)

I'm still stuffed!! We had an amazing thanksgiving dinner at Ken & Alice's on Thursday - shared with Gretchen (their daughter), and Jean Allen (Ken's cousin). Alice sure knows how to put on a spread... couldn't even fit in dessert so I had to bring my peacan & pun'kin pie home to enjoy the next day.

Kids got lots of stories read to them....

...and Bella checked out Alice's recipe books, and made us even more treats!

So try, just try to get a family picture taken... inevitably, one of the kids is whining, crying, sulking, sullen, looking into the abyss... It just don't work. Kate was in a mood yesterday. She climbed up onto the coffee table and was quite pleased with herself. The kids and I were laughing at her and she was being quite a little 'ham'.

...and a advertisement for Wheat Thins... look how happy it makes your kids! ...never mind the fact that you forget about the full box of crackers on your bed and your littlest one decides to dump out the box in it's entirety throughout the covers and onto the floor. (did I tell you the ant story?) ...crackers are itchy. Another shot of the little monkey

and David Jon Jacob Jinglehimer Schmit... as we like to sing it.
