Cozy

Really, why do you need a bed or a couch--just make a nest in a box or basket. The kids thought these little nests were great. Nothing like relaxing before the holidays.

Thanksgiving

Sorry, we are going back to Thanksgiving for this quick post before we get current for Christmas. Just a few pictures of Oakley's school party and our Thanksgiving with the Cox family.

Our little dancer

Tessa started taking dancing classes, and she really loves them. She likes to dance, do spins and bow, just like she learned in class. We think she is pretty cute.

Trip to SC

We had a great time visiting Grandma and Grandpa Harrison in South Carolina. They, along with their dog Jesse, were great hosts. We went to Magnolia Gardens, an old plantation and saw some real, in the wild, alligators. Oakley found a snake and caught a lizard, so it was successful. It was great weather and we got to see some other sites. G and G also babysat one night so Bryce and I could go out to a nice dinner. We went to Magnolia's, where they serve upscale southern food. I ordered the fried chicken breast. I know, not healthy, but it was delicious. Bryce ate more then half of mine (as well as his own pork chop) and said it was the best fried chicken that he had ever had (we are NOT talking KFC here).

Halloween....a little late

Some late Halloween pictures.

It's beginning to look a lot like....Halloween

We are getting ready for Halloween around here. We got some Halloween cookie cutters for Oakley's Halloween Craft and Treat party he is hosting for some friends on Monday. Of course, the kids wanted to use them tonight, so we used them to make Halloween bread sticks for dinner. Oakley told me it was the best idea I have ever had. Above is Tessa in her princess hat--you wont see her in any from the Trunk or Treat below because she had a melt down and head to go home early.

Above, Oakley and his friend at the Trunk or Treat at the church. Below, his upgrade cheetah costume. He added the mask this year and on his own added the black lines (to differentiate from a jaguar), pink in the ears, and red around the mouth so he would look like he just ate a zebra.

Sisters' Reunion

I love all my sisters--and we love to get together. Last weekend all of us got together in New Jersey to spend some time together. It was crazy (with lots of kids) but it was a lot of fun.
