thanks.

this year i had thanksgiving off from work so i went home for almost a week. i was the first one to arrive home and so my mom and i did plenty of shopping, cooking, and of course, as previously stated in the post below, went and saw new moon. jamie, robert, and their little bun in the oven* came in wednesday night from St. Louis and christopher, mard, eli, and taters came in thanksgiving morning. oh i love my boys (and everyone else, too..but being auntie is the best). we had our classic thanksgiving of cooking and playing games. i decided taters was my date because he would never leave my side. i swear he was the cutest date i ever had. we also went to the arboretum and botanical gardens and walked around the Christmas light display that they put on. saturday, as tradition always goes, we went and picked out our Christmas tree. the trip home was great but short.

*a little NEWS FLASH. as previously promised....I'M GOING TO HAVE A NIECE! (and a healthy one which is the most important thing). i couldn't be happier or more excited.

Sophie was the first one to greet me...no, her fur is not pink in real life but for some reason the picture looks that way.

happy tate.

i only have a few pictures of eli because he doesn't really hold still long enough to take one. here are two from hunting for candy at the Christmas Tree farm.

this is by far one of my new favorite pictures of my boys. they are just too cute.happy thanksgiving!
