the best of thanksgiving break 2010:


*aunt Jen's chocolate pie

*shopping Black Friday like some kind of bionic woman

*an afternoon at the movies
(Tangled is fantastic)

*a giving tree

*more than a few shoveled driveways

*snow

*snow

*and more snow

*oh...and a photo opp with this baby girl.

to the boy who loves a stack of buttermilk pancakes more than life itself.

this is what we woke up to.

and now I can play Christmas music without feeling a bit of guilt.

alright...so, I am down to posting one month's worth of pics in a post. we are all about time management over here.

FALL 2010

*fall leaf wild rumpus

*a trip to the corn maze and the first time appearance of
this, almost 11 year old's, "i'm too cool to say cheese" face.

*a Halloween to remember, where I actually made (with a little help from a few
skilled seamstresses) pirate costumes for my little guys.

it was perfection.
