Gobble, Gobble 2011

We had a fantastic Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for and there is no better way to spend the day than with family and friends. We started out the beautiful day with a snowshoe. It made us feel a little better about the big meal we would be eating later. Later in the afternoon, we headed over to Uncle Jim and Aunt Robin's for wonderful company and the big feast.

Emma helped me make the green bean casserole.

This is Emma's placemat she made at school.

Is liking bags and cold cereal hereditary?

She's An Outdoors Girl!

Emma loves to be outside, even in the snow and cold.

This is Emma's shovel for now. We'll get her a bigger one soon. We do get a lot of snow and we need all the help we can get to shovel our decks.

Halloween 2011

It was a"moo"sing to watch Emma this Halloween. Not only did she look as cute as a bug's ear in her cow costume, but it was her first time trick-or-treating. Even though we didn't let her have any of the candy, she still enjoyed herself.

We didn't get many of her face, but she still looks pretty cute.
