Let the Holidays Begin!

 

Those few glorious days of “Indian Summer” we spent at the park!  As soon as Ty got out of school we took a picnic lunch to Veterans Park and ran, stretched out, climbed, tumbled, hung, slid, swung, and just generally had good, open air fun to bid goodbye to the warmer days.
Just hangin’ around…

Chillin’ and Grillin’!  (Ty was sooo proud that he figured out how to climb atop this grill all on his own-though, even I have no clue how he did it!  He has lately become just like his Daddy when he was a boy-CLIMBING EVERYTHING!)

Look at our little Princess :)  (Hey, Jessie is a princess of sorts too, huh!?)

Goodness Gracious, I LOVE her to the sky and back…

The Wednesday before Thanksgiving Ty had no school, so we took full advantage of that and stayed home in Jammies all day (and it was a perfect day for it because it was COLD and RAINY).  So our cooking activity for the day was a Whole Wheat Pepperoni Pizza.

Getting bundled up (and covered up from the rain!) to head to GG and Grandpa’s first…

Dear Marlo, you are growing SUPER fast, in just a month or so you will probably not fit this well under the countertops!  Love, your Mother :)

It was quite the ensemble!  Violin, mini violin, mandolin and piano…

Ann is such an experienced Mandolin player, we had to employ her genius talent…

What a fun holiday we had, despite the FLOODING rains and cooler temps, we were warm in love with family and yummy food. 

The Holiday Season is upon us, let the good times roll :)

(Tomorrow we are getting our tree, we can’t wait to share decoration photos!)
