Thanksgiving

What a wonderful Thanksgiving. We loaded up the car (with about enough stuff for a week!) and headed up to Mt. Pleasant, where we spent Thanksgiving at my Grandpa's with the Schwartz Family. Almost everyone made (we were sans Aunt Di and Rose:(. It was such a great time to visit with everyone, plus lots of yummy food. Olivia enjoyed playing with her cousins and Aunts and Uncles. I would post pictures of the wonderful occasion, but the smarty-pants that I am forgot the camera. Shoot! Come on peeps, with all the other crap I had to remember I am glad I only forgot one thing! Traveling with kids, is traveling with a circus.

The weekend after Thanksgiving we went and cut down a Christmas tree for my parents. As soon as we got there, it started snowing pretty heavy. Olivia had a blast and gave her approval on the tree I picked out.

Gigi and Cousin Heather Come to Town

Chris' cousin Heather and his Mom came for a visit last weekend. It was great having them here. We had a blast playing with the kids and some mad Yahtzee games. We went to a local cider mill, Olivia played in the big wooden train they had. Heather desperatly wanted it to snow and it did, too bad it was the day after she left! Sorry, Heather! It was so helpful to have extra hands around. Thanks for coming, we miss you both!

Finger Painting

The other day I was feeling quit adventurous, so we finger painted! Olivia wasn't so sure what to do with it, but she figured it out in the end. Although she did eat more than she painted with!!

Our Morning

Waiting for Big Sis to finish up.

All Clean!

Clean and Warm Babies!!

Halloween Weekend

Chris' Dad came to visit for the weekend. It was great having him here. We spent Halloween at my parent's. Olivia got to trick or treat. Although she didn't really get the whole trick or treat idea. She was pretty content to play with her bag rather than ask for candy. She did however like her costume and had a great time running around in it after trick or treating.

Saturday the Gators played Georgia and to our family's delight (and weekend happiness) the Gators crushed the Bulldogs! Go Gators!! My Dad and brothers came over and Chris made pork carnitas (super yummy, thanks to the Hochstettlers for that!!) and we hung out all day, played lots of games and had an all around good time.

Sunday I got to rest a little while Chris and Tony took Olivia to the Henry Ford Museum. She got to play in the trains and check out all the cool airplanes and what not. It was a great weekend. Thanks for visiting Grandpa Tony!
