Lego Towers, Bunk Beds and Thanksgiving... pretty much sums it up

We pray our family and friends had a blessed Thanksgiving including a time of rest. Ours was a day of rest followed by buying a new refrigerator, losing my wedding ring (Laura) and redoing the kids' room. I did however get lots of good deals on Black Friday. I got up at 5 am and made it to 8 stores all before 9 am. It is my favorite time to shop because no one misses me.
Chloe came home with lots of information regarding Thanksgiving from her preschool. She kept mentioning the fact that some people call it Turkey Day and Pig Out Day. She considered that quite humorous. Elijah had no interest in eating his Thanksgiving dinner. He was starving during prayer, sticking his finger in the potatoes and butter, but by the time his plate was full, he wanted nothing to do with the meal. Instead, he pestered Aunt Jenny and I.

Boy in the Striped Pajamas
Jenny and I saw this movie today in one of two theatres that is showing it in Colorado. It left me asking for God's forgiveness. While I will suggest the movie, keep in mind that it will leave you very heavy hearted.

Grammie's 66th Birthday

Elijah is getting some lovin' from Uncle Scott and Aunt Jenny. The boy reminds us so much of a puppy. He likes his belly tickled like no other and often times, smells like a puppy.

Our little musician. Uncle Ryan can't wait to get him signed.
Finally, this is a picture of the desert I made, a chocolate box filled with chocolate creme and fresh raspberries. It was delicious and it goes to show you that hours of watching the Food Network is not a waste of time.

My Mimes

Our kids dressed as mimes for our church party on Halloween night. Chloe kept calling herself a Smartie.
