Thanksgiving Day!

We had such an awesome Thanksgiving! The kids had so much fun playing together, as they always do. We spent the day at my moms with my brother, sister-in-law and their kids as well as my grandparents, aunts and uncles. It was a great day filled with loving family and delicious food! The kiddos had so much fun playing and jumping in the leaves in my mom's backyard. how cute is Gabe...man he was having so much fun! And don't all 4 of the kiddos look so cute at the "kiddie" table waiting for their food? They were so good today and man they wore each other out. We left at about 8:15 after having been there ALL day. Gabe was asleep before we got to the end of the street...not too much of a surprise since he didn't have a nap.

Wish me luck in the morning...I will be hitting the snooze button around 4:30 so I can get up and brave the crowds in the morning. I know it's crazy but man I love saving money and the awesome feeling I get when I get a really GREAT deal on something! I won't be out all morning but for a while. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and on to Christmas, YEA! Time to decorate...Can't Wait!

Busy day!

I guess you could say we had a busy day! We spent the day at my grandmother's house with my brother, sister-in-law and their kids. We all went out to lunch and then went back to her house to visit while the kids played. They always play so well together and they usually wear each other out, as you can see by this picture. On the drive home Gabe fell asleep which was not out of the norm since he had missed his nap earlier in the day. We had put him to sleep in our bed when we got home and we hung out for a while. I decided to wake him up so I could fix dinner and he fell back asleep on daddy's chest. I proceeded to fix dinner and when I called everyone to the table...no one came. I looked over in the living room and this is what I saw. Three tired sleeping boys. I couldn't resist taking a picture.

Soccer Trophy

We went to Noah's end of soccer party at Chuck E. Cheese (groan...) on Thursday night. Not my favorite place but Noah had so much fun. Best of all...he got his trophy!

Here he is with the Coach Steve receiving his trophy.

He is so proud!!

Here is a picture of the trophy up close.

He is so darn proud of this thing. I was proud too of course. He says he loves soccer and wants to play again in the spring so I guess we'll see how that goes. I'm so glad he stuck with it, because there were some Saturdays that it was a huge fight trying to get him to go. In the end he loved it and already misses it...this was our first weekend with no soccer, thank the lord! I can only imagine what it will be like in a few years when Gabe starts playing too! Those will be some busy Saturdays.
