snow firsts

We got our first snowfall of the season!

On Saturday Dec. 5th we met the C's at Outback for dinner, and
afterward they visited at our house. It was snowing lightly and
Aunt Lori decided that Andrew needed to feel his first snow. Later,
Evyn and Scott went outside (after Evyn's bedtime!) and they made
a pair of snowfolk... Evyn's first real snowman!

time for a change

*Those of you who have seen the photo collage of then-baby Evyn hanging in the kids bathroom already know I love pictures of babies au naturel

Thanksgiving 2009 - part 2

On Thanksgiving Thursday we went to Grandma & Grandpa B's for lunch. We brought a huge antipasto salad, and a pot of my corn & crab chowder. Grandma & Grandpa served up carrot bisque, homemade applesauce, grilled shrimp, ribs, and even a plate of roast turkey. It wasn't traditional Thanksgiving food, but it was delicious!

Andrew in his Totseat again - love this thing!

Later, we went to Grams & Pops house for a more traditional Thanksgiving dinner with Aunt Chris, and Scott's Uncle Harold and Aunt Bev.




After dinner we played Old Maid, and Evyn set up a food store where she sold play food to the other guests. Those of you who have been to our home already know about her rock sale in our back yard. If you're ever in need of a few decorative rocks, Evyn would be happy to sell one to you!
