Thanksgiving 2010!



We had a great Thanksgiving weekend with Grandma Colleen. Oliver and Mikayla had lots of fun together as usual and Oliver enjoyed having someone else to entertain him! Emily did great too so I think she is finally getting used to being with other people (fingers crossed......).

Emily's crawling has really come on and she is fast now!! She follows Oliver everywhere and is pretty much a one woman wrecking machine. She is even trying to pull herself up to standing - using people or furniture! She got herself on her knees this morning using Oliver's train table. He wasn't impressed with that as this is his new place to do puzzles since he can't use the floor anymore. Maybe we need a taller table!

We put our Christmas tree up the day after Thanksgiving. Oliver really enjoyed hanging all the ornaments on it and loves all the lights. It's great if we go out at night because he is just fascinated by it all! And if he had the money to buy all the outside Christmas ornaments in Target he certainly would. I was doing the ironing this morning and gave him all the toy magazines to look through and he pretty much wanted everything (apart from the dolls and anything scary)!

We are now on the countdown to the Curry family arriving for Christmas - yay!! They arrive on the 15th so only 10 days or so to go. Very exciting :) Hope they don't find it too cold, ha ha!!


Daddy, you're home!!!

Probably not the best place to crawl Emily....

Our Christmas lights (which haven't worked for about a week now. Hopefully the slight technical issues will be fixed soon!)

Thanksgiving baby!

Love the look on Emily's face. I'm not sure what effect Matt has on her :)

I want to get out and play with Scoop!!!

Happy playing with cars

Mummy and Oliver being silly - he wanted me to keep kissing his hand :)

We had a fantastic snowstorm on Friday night (while I was at work) and this is the aftermath before the ploughs came around. Those are my tyre tracks coming up the driveway - it was a crazy drive home!! And now it's flippin' freezing!
