Thanksgiving Weekend 09

So, here are some pictures from our Thanksgiving weekend. They are, however, in reverse order (and I do not know of a simple way to reverse the order, and Im too lazy to go back and manually move them all!) I'm guessing *hoping* you really don't care though and just enjoy the pics!!

Just out of the tub! In the new Christmas jammers!!



Playing with the nativity set.
Posing by the tree
Christmas trees are so fun!

I hope that everyone had a great weekend! Congrats to Aimee and Jeff who got married over the weekend, and Happy (belated!) Birthday to Great Grandpa Buhr!

More October fun (Yes, I know it's now November!)

Last weekend OU hosted K-State and it was Homecoming weekend (in addition to Halloween weekend!) Trick-or-Treating got moved to Friday night, because of the game. I'm telling ya, football rules here--we change holidays because of football games! :) Anyways, the girls and I went to the Homecoming parade and had a blast!
Adi tries to share! How do you teach them that sharing toys=good, sharing lollipops=not so good!
Waiting for the floats to come by!
Sitting down to take a little break! Yes, they brought their t-o-t bags--they got that much MORE candy!
