Thanksgiving 2013

Lesson #1: With a new baby, having a holiday at your house is easiest.

Lesson #2: Lesson #1 only applies if you have a willing soul to help you cook and clean.

Lesson #3: Using disposal dishes and stuff is best.

Lesson #4: GO WITH THE FLOW! (this should apply to the guests too!)

Lesson #5: Lesson #4 is the most important.

Overall, it was good.  It was a REALLY long day, we were in bed EARLY (earlier than usual!).  I drank half a bottle of moscato (yummy dessert wine) with my dad to ease the nerves and unwind, that was fun.  The house was a MESS from the toys.  They did pretty good at keeping the junk either in their rooms or the garage but everything was dumped everywhere.  

Halloween Pictures

Family Portraits

We had our family pictures taken yesterday at Dos Picos Park.  I wanted pictures mainly for Holiday cards of the kids...these are just a couple I've seen that I love.  Too bad I'm still a fatty - most of the ones I'm in I hate, but the ones of the kids are gorgeous.  Wish Tommy had been smiling (at around 4pm he thinks its bedtime the little stinker) so he was sort of out of it.  Thankfully B&B were in good moods (even Miss Sassy took a little nap for me - gotta get better about making her take one even if its for an hour).  Overall I'm really happy with how these have turned out.  I see the rest of them soon...
