Playing nice in the morning.

Today, Lindsey is out sick from pre-school again, day three. From these photos you can't see it, but she has had a pretty bad cold and isn't totally herself. She is on the road to recovery and should be at school tomorrow. It super surprised me that they were willing to sit together, much less, take a picture together! I love it, Michael and Lindsey's hair all wild from bed and Lindsey with her hands on her sister's shoulders. Notice Natalie is holding her doll? It is her favorite and she squeezes her tightly, especially when she goes to bed.
My three sweeties!
Okay, is it me, or is that a great picture? Michael took it!!!!!
Our little doll in her cozy pajamas....it was 31 degrees her last night!!! What? Just a couple of days ago, the kids were begging to go in the pool!

Highlights ~~
**Natalie said dada and mama!
**I finished and mailed my Pink Christmas gift!
**I got some Christmas shopping done.
**I received some good mail!! A Keith Urban Cd, thanks Kristi!
**Candi and Uncle Rich celebrated birthdays on November 28th. Hope it was happy! 

Smiles, smiles everywhere.

She looks mischievious here, doesn't she? Wish I had taken a pic of the whole outfit. The material used for the U is used in two rows of ruffles on her bottom, so stinkin cute!
Our angel getting all clean before bed.

Thanksgiving 2006

We went to my parents for Thanksgiving this year. I was hoping to get alot of pics of the family and kids, but it was easier said than done. It was a nice holiday and we have so much to be thankful for. 

All ready to eat!
Enjoying her 1st Thanksgiving dinner.
 

Dad taking a break from all the cooking.
A snapshot of Gram and her friends Gladys and Paul.
Grandma and Lindsey.
The only photo I managed to get of Tyler!!! 

Me and my baby............it was so hot in the kitchen, I put my hair up without looking in the mirror. Yikes!!!! At least it was out of my face.
Little miss serious..I like this pic for 3 reasons. 1. She's a cutie. 2. She christened her dress with sweet potatoes and turkey. 3. Charles' shirt in the background. Can you name all the different foods that ended up on his shirt? Poor guy was in between Michael and Natalie.

We had fun putting leaves on her head. We all got a good laugh, because she managed to keep them on her head the whole time....

Enjoying a Thanksgiving afternoon in the park.

 

Talk about a little boy having a good time. Michael was so excited to be at the park with all of us. He couldn't stop smiling.


 

Her first try at the swings alone. She was so very proud of herself.

I absolutely love this picture!!! I see so much of her Daddy in this photo.
Our family photo attempt.....and this was the best one:)

Happy Thanksgiving!

I love a big turkey dinner as much as the next person, but what I love more is my beautiful family and friends. I am so blessed to have each and every one of them in my life. They enrich my life in so many ways. Thank you all for making my life so much better!

Tyler's annual Pre-Thanksgiving Dinner

Every year, Tyler honors one of his favorite holiday specials, Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving. It's complete with popcorn, jellybeans, pretzels and popcorn. He even has a Snoopy apron that we picked up at Knott's Berry Farm for him. It's really cute to see him so excited to "serve" his special dinner. It was fun, but I can't wait for some turkey tomorrow! 

You never know what you might find...

After clearing off both shelves...onto the floor and removing a shelf, he realized he was small enough to fit. It's pretty cute, but does make you wonder what he will think of next. 

You would think it was for my room!

I went to Kohl's the other day and could not believe what I found! Sam I am, Max, Big Fish and a Sneetch from Dr. Suess. You usually can't find them. They were only $5 each and all the money went to charity. Now, I don't know if Michael will really care whether he has them in his room or not, but I had to do it. Below are some old photos of his room. I need to get some better photos of the characters we drew on the walls. Anyhow, it really made my day to find such a deal.
