Thanksgiving 2012

What we're thankful for:
1) Early mornings and a bumbo
2) A willing helper
 
3) That mom and dad (not us) don't feed a certain someone (see below) peas.
 
4. A bosom friend
 
5. Someone who cares enough to not have peels in the mashed potatoes
 
6. Relatives who think they are Doby and the House Elves when they visit.
 
7. Chaos that borders on Riot (the table was the only safe place for women and children)
8. Two captions could go here:
a) That someone will go find Andy
b) That he hides in the exact same place over and over and over
(It's all perspective)
9. Self Explanitory
10. Traps to catch the good guys
(It did work, when running through, the "good guy" stepped on a toy and he went lame like a horse)
10. Ligretto x 100
(It just doesn't get old and yes this picture is Saturday around noon,
 "Don't judge us. Don't you dare judge us!")
11. A little sister.
We have lots to be thankful for ... but mostly that Ty and I aren't responsible to provide meat for the family. Not only did we not see a deer, but we also couldn't hit a clay pidgeon.
 
I know how dejected Laban, Lemuel, and Nephi must of felt. Not only do you not get food but its also a little embarrassing how bad of a shot you are. It never says they didn't SEE anything, they just didn't HIT anything. Nephi's bow must have broken after he missed.

Bedtime Stories

Bedtime stories...with two very young kids
 We always have good intentions to read together as a family. 

But inevitably, this happens:

Aaahh. Much better.


As a side note, I love fall in Virginia. I get to look at this out my window for two months! Every year, I get anxious for the leaves to change color quickly. I feel like if they don't get a hurry on, we'll miss fall entirely, and jump straight to winter. But then I remember the last year, and the year before that, when it didn't snow until after Thanksgiving. Imagine that.
