Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a really great Thanksgiving. We all went to Jessica's house and had a ton of food and fun.
For appetizers we had a cheese tray, pickle tray, olive tray, and pumpkin dip w/crackers, and deviled eggs. Then for the actual meal we had turkey, dressing, mac & chz, green beans & potatoes, mashed potatoes & gravy, candied yams, brocolli casserole, collard greens, rolls and cranberry sauce. Then for dessert we had 2 jello molds, cheesecake rolls, 3 pies, a cake, ice cream, pretzel salad, and turkey cookies. It was a good thing we had so much because we had 10 adults & 11 kids to feed.
After we ate and cleaned, we hung out and played men vs women in Scene It. And of course the women won.
Cutest turkey cookies ever:

Merry Early Christmas

Charlie isn't going to be here on Christmas so we decided to celebrate early. The kids opened gifts and we wore santa hats. Aidan got Transformers and Rachel got Dora stuff. Charlie tried to help Aidan with his new Transformers for what seemed like hours. It wasn't the same as real Christmas but we had a nice evening together. After presents we had an authentic and delicious mexican dinner that my friend Laura made us.

The Whole Family

Go Cowboys!

Aidan is on a flag football team, the Cowboys. We have a really awesome group of kids and parents and great coaches. Every game is exciting. So far we are undefeated. Aidan sometimes gets carried away and tries to fight with the other team, this time he was behind the play fighting with two opposing players! The coaches tell us he's just sticking up for himself so I guess that's okay. He is one of the younger and smaller players and sometimes the older kids think they can push our little guys around but I guess they just don't know what they're getting into with Aidan. He'll be great when it's okay to tackle.
