Santa came early!

We had Christmas a little early this year so Abby could enjoy her presents before we head home for the holidays. Abby had some funny reactions to her toys which we caught on tape. Enjoy! Merry Christmas :)

Blue or Pink?

Like Mother, Like Daughter

Still nice to know kids are doing the same things in 2008 as they did in 1984 :)







p.s. can anyone tell me what that hook thing is supposed to be coming out of Mr. Potato Head's mouth?

Our little pilgrim

We had a fun Thanksgiving! We drove up to McKinney and had our yummy feast with the Willsons :) I also learned many things while preparing the food with Katie.
First - using the pumpkin pie recipe off the canned pumpkin makes a delicious pie. But don't cook the crust first! If this does happen, make sure you have plenty of store bought crust on hand and some chocolate pudding mix. Whip up the pudding, fill the cooked crust, and voila! a yummy chocolate pie :) You can't go wrong with more pie right?
Second - Do not use real green beans in the green bean casserole, been there done that, doesn't turn out... luckily green beans are a staple in most pantrys so crisis was averted, also cream of chicken soup works just as well....
Third - eating homemade orange rolls while making food is highly recommended (just remember to use milk, not water, when preparing the dough :)
Fourth - Katie's sister-in-law Sarah knows how to make a mean turkey!
Fifth - Frequent napping and cuddling with kids is completely necessary :)
Last, but not least - There's nothing wrong with wearing a bucket on your head!

Thanks for the great memories Katie!
