Winter has definitely set in. There is some snow on the ground and the temps are in the 20s - brrr!!! I think Oliver wants to play outside in the snow every day - I'm not so enthusiastic and I still need to buy myself some snow pants :) And he still insists on riding his bike when (if!) we take Scoop for a walk. He won't be able to for much longer that's for sure.
I've been very busy with work these past few weeks. Black Friday was utter craziness - never seen anything like it but so I glad I did work. What an experience! Things should calm down as soon as Christmas is over of course. I did have the pleasure of a day off this past weekend. It was nice just to hang out with the family and do normal weekend stuff - grocery shopping (!) and going out for coffee :)
We had a quiet family day on Thanksgiving and then went to Ray and Sandy's on the Friday. The kids had fun playing Just Dance on the Wii - I think this is a must every time we go over there now! Even Emily was joining in :)
Oliver is definitely excited about Christmas this year. All the lights, the decorations and the Christmas CDs we have really pump him up!! Emily just wants to take everything off the tree and I even caught her chomping on a candy cane through the wrapper (I knew it was too quiet!). It should be a great time when the big day comes around.
OK - photos!!!
Watching TV together
Taking Scoop for a walk - Emily had to shake all the trees!

The snowman we found in the basement! We forgot we bought it in the sale last year.
Thanksgiving dinner at the grandparent's place
I don't rate that dinner much Grandpa!!
But I'll take the hug :))
Decorating!!
In da hood!!
File boxes I found. Thought they would be useful for storage but the kids would rather sit/stand on them or carry them around *sigh*
Ready to head outside!
Play date at Wesley's house!
Emily wearing Mr Potato Head glasses as a necklace
