Thanksgiving Week

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Tony & I were able to take the whole week off. My Dad, step-mom, Nate (my brother) & family, Wendy (Tony's sister) & family were all in town too. We had a very fun and busy week.

Monday we went to see Santa. The boys did great.

Tuesday we went to the Zoo with my side of the family.

Wednesday we had Thanksgiving dinner at Nana's house. Here the kids are decorating their table.

Thursday we had Thanksgiving at Kiki's house. Was not able to get the pictures downloaded from this. But, we had a great day.

Friday we put up our Christmas tree. Sam was a big help and very excited. That night we went to the Parade of Lights in downtown Ft. Worth with Nana & Nate's family.

Saturday morning, Sam & Jack went to see "The Polar Express" at the Omni. The kids were all wearing their PJs and this was Sam's first movie. They had a blast.

Saturday night, we celebrated our neice, Reese's, first birthday.

And sunday morning we went to church with Kiki and Poppy for Reese's baptism.

By this point we were all very tired. And now Christmas is sneaking up me. Ollie will also celebrate his 1st birthday on the 21st!!!

Oh, there is so much I have to do!! I gotta go!

Afternoon Cruise

Well, I guess my baby is growing up. Yesterday, his teacher at school asked me what I thought about him moving up to the toddler room on December 8th. I was shocked! My baby is not a toddler! Atleast thats how I feel. Man, its true what they say, time really flies with the second one (and I am sure with each one after). I guess we have to start thinking about another one now. Ha, Ha!

Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween! The boys loved dressing up and getting out to trick or treat. Well, Ollie just loved being out on a buggy ride. Sam had fun, but after about an hour, asked to go home. Sam was also really excited about carving his first pumpkin this year. That was until he saw what was inside the thing. He opted to just supervise Tony, which included picking the design (from a book).

Fall Fun

We've been enjoying this fall season. Just hanging out and hitting some of the fun festivals. The boys are doing great. Ollie is 10 months old today and is such a joy. He is finally sleeping through the night! It just took a few nights of Tony going in to soothe him, since he associates me with eating :) I wish we had tried that sooner. He is pulling up and combat crawling all over the place!
Sam is doing good too. We finally convinced him to try pedaling his tricycle. With a little practice he did great and loves it. Maybe Santa will bring him a big boy bike. And someone turned on his "why" switch. He must ask hundred "why" questions a day (atleast)! He just jabbers on and on and he is constantly cracking us up.
Here are some pictures to share. We've taken so many since the last post that I had trouble narrowing down which ones to post :)
