Natalie showing off on the playground (I can not do this anymore...does this mean I'm starting to get old?).
Nic (our little spinner) He tries to spin everything he possibly can find. He loved mommy's new pinwheel app on her iphone and wouldn't stop asking for it the entire weekend. Of course when he wasn't on the iphone he was going into every single room and turning the ceiling fans off and on. He is just the sweetest little boy!

Ok, so let me explain this picture. Thanksgiving morning we decided to make this recipe for sticky buns that looked simply amazing! It calls for the sticky buns to be assembled and placed into a muffin tin instead of your usual cookie sheet for baking these. However, half way through the baking process my mom realized that she had missed a step in the instructions and the butter, sugar, etc. from the muffin tin was spilling over onto the bottom of the oven. Apparently, she missed the step in the instructions where it tells you to place a cookie sheet below so to catch everything spilling over the edges of the muffin tin. Our first mistake was that we decided to continue baking the buns. All of a sudden the oven began smoking very heavily and we had to run open all of the windows and turn on all of the fans. It is a really good thing that we live where we do, because otherwise we may have had problems letting a bunch of cold air into the house. To make a long story short, the oven caught on fire eventually and my mom came running to the rescue with the fire extingusher to put out the flames. Luckily no one got hurt and once the fire was out our cleanup crew (Mark and Dean) were able to get the oven looking as good as new.
It was quite the story and really made our Thanksgiving memorable. We will never forget the year Ronee set the oven on fire!
Somehow dogs always manage to know who is going to be dropping the most food ;) Snoops and Muley really enjoyed having the kids around. I think they both gained a few pounds over the weekend.
Nic and Natalie really enjoyed playing ball with our dog Muley. She was so patient with them and it was so cute to see them throw the ball for her and really interact with her.
Miss D came by for a visit and Natalie couldn't get enough. This little girl loves her animals!
The whole family - Take 1 (Please forgive us, these are horrible pictures)
Take 2
Take 3- ehh...maybe we can get some better pictures next year!
I hope everyone had a truly blessed Thanksgiving holiday and were able to take time out to be thankful for everything that they have! I know I am so thankful for my friends and family.
