It Snowed Today!

Thanksgiving

Phil, Nicole and the kids came back after only being back home in Cali a little over a week. We spent the last few days up at the cabin and had a tasty dinner there last night with everyone including our cousins the Carrasco's. We played lots of games and watched a few movies together. Tori and I played Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella all day, she was in heaven. My favorite part of dinner had to be Grandpa
Clyde's candied yams, as always! Aunt Mill's orange rolls were delicious too! I love Thanksgiving!

I love photographing Tori and Henry

Ember was feed way too much turkey, she zonked out

Genius

Look at this genius. We moved his dog house closer to our house thinking that he would use it then. But instead he likes to lay on top now. Even last night when it was pouring rain he still couldn't figure it out. What a dummy. 

Good Times

Phil, Nicole and the kids left back home today to Palo Alto, but lucky for us they will be back in less than 10 days for Thanksgiving! We spent the night at the cabin last night, it was so nice! We played "Ticket to Ride" for the first time and it was actually a lot of fun. Ryan shockingly really liked it which is a huge deal because he has always been an anti-game playing kind a guy. He even wanted to play it again! We're gona have to buy that one. Anyways, we had fun hanging out with everyone. This morning we woke up to Grandma's yummy home-cooked pancakes and buttermilk syrup. It was a wonderful reminder that the holidays are finally here. I love the cozy feeling this time of year brings.

Here's some pictures from last night. Somehow we all got a little crazy and found ourselves carried away trying on some of my great grandma's old hats and wigs. We were laughing pretty hard. My fav is Henry! 

Happy Birthday

We went out to lunch at Zupas for Nicole's B-day. I haven't been there in a long time, probably since nursing school. It was fun talking to everyone and playing with the kids.  Hopefully we'll be able to spend some more time with them tomorrow.
