THE BIG GAME

I can't believe college football season is already coming to an end... :( It is a ritual to spend each Saturday of the season watching the games with our friends - rotating houses so that everyone takes turns hosting. The days are long and fun and typically start at 9am and sometimes go until 9pm. This year was the first year with all the babies and it was such a blast!  All of our houses are equipped with toys, pack n plays, changing tables, high chairs, cribs etc. so it makes it sooo easy when we all get together. :)  Every year we close out the season by watching the big rivalry game (Ohio State vs. Michigan) at the Stadium Club (local bar). This was the first year since our tradition started 5 years ago that the Buckeyes lost. :( Which means we need a new place to watch the game next year!!

LOU'S FIRST THANKSGIVING!

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this time of year. And love that my little Lou Bear gets to experience all of this for the first time. :) If he's anything like his momma he will grow up to love it all!!

Thanksgiving was at Doug's Dad's place this year and it was wonderful as always, except this year was extra special since Doug's Mom was there to join us. :) It is such a blessing to have her with us and we are so excited she is here to stay.  Mindy, BJ, Devin, Uncle David, Aunt Priscilla, Cathy, and Eva were also there. The food was amazingly awesome and not to toot my own horn but the stuffing I made was fan-fricken-tastic. The cranberries came out good too. I was hoping Lucas would gobble it all up but he was only interested in the pumpkin pie! Go figure.. he does come from my gene pool...

LOGAN'S 4TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

Yesterday was Logan's 4th birthday party at Bounce U and I'm not sure who had more fun - the kids or the "adults"!!  The place is essentially filled with all different sorts of bounce houses and huge blow up slides and jungle gyms.. even a blow up mini basketball court. Such a great place for a kid birthday party.

 Lemme out... Pleeeaaase :)
