My grandparents were making a tree (behind) and a snowman as gifts for my uncle and aunt who have birthdays. While we were visiting, my kids enjoyed helping create these practical and useful gifts.

Gwen and Gracie, cousins.

Roland, I know you would have been in this group if you were there Thanksgiving Day! I caught Andy snoozing on these couches a little while later too. He even snoozed in our van on the way up, don't ask me how little sleep he got the night before.

This is my Uncle Pat and I. I included this picture because I know how much Roland likes to see my pictures too.

The chubby baby Christopher laughing at something Sammy is doing.

Mirror looking for Gwen.

Kisses for her baby.

Her new baby doll.

Eve got an Honorable Mention for the Reflections contest at our school.

Gwen, nearly 10 months old

Per the request of my wonderful husband... Gwen's latest feat (or should we say FEET)

Finally, new Picstures!

Gwen is going to be quite the phone conversationalist.

Our family Lunch at Olive Garden the day Dad left.

Airport Farewells.

Kinzie, Samantha and Eve did their makeovers on themselves and...

... a few good sports.

Jedi/ Light Saber battles on Roland's early birthday. I know my camera doesn't take good night photos, but they are neat to look at anyway.

Roland wearing Tucker's Birthday crown.

Yes, she is Roland's daughter, can you tell?

Goofiness must be inherited.

My big boy holding his big boy cousin. Christopher is a butterball baby, just like Tucker was 5 years ago. Although Christopher is 5 1/2 months younger than Gwen, he is less than 2 pounds lighter.

Eve's Halloween Story

This Halloween Story, written by Eve for the Library's annual story writing contest, won 4th place for her age division and earned her $10.00! She was so excited when they called that she ran around the house calling out "I won 4th place for my story! I won!"



Please support her by reading it.

Thanks.

I had fun taking a few pictures of Gwen at the beginning of October and then forgot about them when we had computer problems. I wanted to share now. Isn't she sweet?

Please let me know which pic is your favorite and I will let you all know my favorite in a week or so.

Halloween and snow, but not in the same day.

Halloween, my Cowgirl, Marine, Fairy Princess, and Cheerleader (Held by greek Auntie)

Carving is so fun! Tucker's, Eve's, Gwen's(with daddy's help) and Sammy's (Desert scene)
Sammy's even won at the school for best design.

Our first snow!

She liked it too, she loves to be outdoors.

We had fun at the park, as always. Gwen particularly enjoyed the swing and the slide. I set the camera on the playgroud so we could use the timer for a family pic. You know how those go...

Oreos!

Slightly messy again, but at least it isn't dirt this time. My favorite mint ones, was Gwen's first taste of this likely lifelong love, the Oreo cookie.
