Thanksgiving ...now Christmas!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Ohio with Matt's family. We ate two turkey dinners. We heard about Wendy's European adventures. We baked, iced and sprinkled five dozen sugar cookies (and two little girls!). We cheered the Buckeyes on to victory. We cut down and decorated the perfect Christmas tree. But mostly we played, played, and played some more with Grandma, Papa, Jo, Kyle, Tommy and Adrienne. (I also got in a few, rare moments of peace and quiet, for which I give many thanks!)

Looking Cute

Kaitlyn was in the mood to dress up for preschool today, so we put everyone in their finery and got out the camera. Claire is wearing a very special outfit--a corduroy gingerbread jumper that my grandma made for me when I was little!

Pose, Please!

Jack is getting bigger by the day (he's already wearing 9-month clothing at 3.5 months!). He's also making more and more faces each day. A smile, a smirk, an "are you serious?" stare. We haven't quite mastered the Magnum, but we're working up to it. Honestly, isn't this child "really, really good-looking"?!

Jumping in the Leaves

Could there be a more quintessential fall activity than jumping in the leaves? I think not. The girls had a fabulous time frolicking in the leaves--just look at those smiles!

Turkey Time!

The girls and I have switched gears...it's time for Thanksgiving crafts. Today's activity--turkey hats! The girls had fun making a gluey mess, and with a little help (okay, at times, a lot of help!) the final creations turned out really cute. Almost as cute as our girls!
