E-I-E-I-O!

Uncle Morris and Aunt Fran had a farm...

E-I-E-I-O! And we are glad they do! Our heat

went out 2 days after Thanksgiving, so Grandma

Margaret, Mallory, William and myself headed

to the farm for the day. Da Da stayed back

to wait for the furnace guy. Poor Da Da...

we had a great day at the farm!

My cousin, Marcia was in town with her husband,

and daughter, Kaitlin. We haven't seen them

since I was pregant. It's always great to see fam!

When you go to the farm... there is always a good

card game going on. We prefer, Pitch!

Thanksgiving 2010!

We still can't believe that this is Mallory and William's

2nd Thanksgiving! We have soooo much to be

thankful for... family, friends, health, love, a warm

home, yummy food, our faith, and the list continues!

Life is amazing! Look how happy Grandma Margaret

is with her 2 favorite grankids... Gma Z just lights up!

We had a fabulous dinner over at Kelly and Dave

Lawler's! Thanks Grandma Margaret and
Grandma Sue for making a delicious dinner!

William and Da Da love their football!
Touchdown!!!

What a great group of people! :)


Here are the Grandma's with
some of their grandkids! :)


Before we went to Kelly and Dave's,
we stopped at Uncle Tom's house.
Michael sure loves his cousins!


Madison, Mallory, and William were playing ball...

Thanksgiving Eve!

Why not go see Santa the day before Thanksgiving?

It was great...... NO lines! :) Hooray!!!!!!

And as we predicted, Mallory made instant friends

with Santa... but poor lil' William wanted nothing

to do with the jolly old soul. Santa was so sweet and

patient with our twins! It was a fun night...

Then as we bundled up Mallory and William,

and headed for home... Mallory and William

couldn't stop saying - "Santa" and "Ho Ho Ho".

We really think William secretly liked Santa...

Awwww... So Cute!

Here are some random pics from the long Thanksgiving

Day week-end... I just couldn't resist sharing them.

Mike and I are so lucky to have such healthy, and fun lil'

cutie-pies in our lives! Blessings! Blessings! Blessings!

Sunday Morning Silliness!

Our Saturday mornings usually revolve around

a good Sesame Street video to wake us up. Today,

William and Mallory pulled out their "Boppy's".

It made me sad to think how BIG they have

gotten since they were first born and

using their "Boppy's". They are getting too big

too fast! Slow down time! Slow down! Our twins

are officially 20 months old... yeeesh!

Who doesn't read books

while wearing a construction hat?

William LOVES his hats!

And... who doesn't cook while wearing a top hat?

Mallory is posing for her mommy!
Cheeeeese!



"Look At What The Balloon Can Do!" Video...

Did I mention that our Mally and Billy have been sick on and off for the past 2 weeks? Mallory started things off with pink-eye... then a few days later, William caught a virus. He had a temp on and off for almost 3 days. In the middle of the night last night, Mike even took him to the ER... I thought for sure it was an ear infection, since he was crying uncontrollably... but it was 'night terrors' the doctor said. We at least have peace of mind that he wasn't in pain internally. Below is a video of Mallory and William ending their Sunday with coloring... the more colors and blank paper the better. It's so nice to see them looking and feeling better. I hope our toddlers are on the up and up this week.

Tanner's Birthday Party!

We had a thrilling day at Tanner's birthday party!

Tanner had his birthday party at Kid's Body Shop.

Tanner is Miss Lori's youngest son.

Miss Lori and Miss Karyn really treat us like

family... it's really something wonderful! Tanner

is the kiddo below in red and gray stripes.

Our twins adore Tanner!!!!!

The day first started off with cake and presents...

then we moved onto swimming. Yes! This was
Mallory and William's first time in a big pool!

I thought for sure William would love it more,

because he LOVES bathtime... but I was wrong...

Mallory is going to be our little fishy swimmer.

We really tried... but William wasn't a big fan
of the big big swimming pool.





Mallory really really really enjoyed swimming! She
even threw a sure fire fit when we had to get out. ;)

William might not have liked the swimming pool,

but he LOVED the tumbling part of the day!

Miss Karyn was such a big help...she

always does a great job distracting...

I think Mallory was wishing she was back

in the warm pool... I guess I need to sign

our twinners up for swim lessons soon.

Da Da and William had a gooood time

in the block pit.... I just love my boys...

and of course, my Mal Mal too!

William and Mallory thought they were big stuff...

Cuties! Cuties! Cuties!

Dysfunctional Thanksgiving Part 12!

It was another SUPER AWESOME Dysfuntional

Thanksgiving with friends! This was the 12th year it

has been going on... and I have been to every one.

Mikey has been to the last 6. This group of friends is

just fun... fun...fun! I love this pictures of the GG's

below... we are so silly! We are so blessed to have

such a great group of goofballs in our lives!

Dan always hosts... and below is the many tables
he puts together. (He always does a great job!
Thanks, DB! Another year of "dysfunction"!)
I think there were 25 or 26 people total. Woweee...
My favorite part of the night, is when we all go
around the table and say what we are thankful for...

Ayanna and Brian B is pictured below.
(Kinda funny... I went to grade school
with Brian... what a small world!)
