This is what I have been doing instead of updating the blog!

The weekend before Thanksgiving, we went to a local park to help our friend, Ellie, celebrate her 3rd birthday! Grant was a BIG fan of the cupcakes, but after his first one hit the ground when he picked it up for his first bite, he thought it was best not to use hands at all!

On Thanksgiving morning after a breakfast of Javelinas (of the gingerbread variety), the boys went to work helping Gigi bake bread. Grant had a blast! Zachary, however, wasn't quite sure why he was supposed to be touching the dough.

Thanksgiving dinner was YUMMY! Don't let Grant's face fool you, that is apparently his new way of smiling...reminds me of my brother and all of his wonderful smiles in pictures!!!

It's not a trip to Gigi's without blood. This time Grant was the victim. This one really wasn't her fault...but she was in very close proximity as Grant was leaving her side to come to me and tripped. Papa's backyard was so much fun with all the newly fallen leaves.

I LOVE this picture. My favorite part is the look on my Papa's face, smiling and happy.

Stuffing leaves in his shirt was the highlight of Grant's Thanksgiving. Sorry for all the photos to follow...I just had to add all of them...each facial expression was priceless.

Does it get any more precious than this? This is what Zachary was doing while Grant was getting all of the attention...nothing. It's all really a cover up...he's a total mess!

We ventured out to ONE store on Black Friday and stocked up on tools at Home Depot! This was one of the sweet moments with the boys. Later it was hair pulling and face slapping. Whoever designed these carts and sold them to all the major stores we shop at was INSANE. Two small children facing each other and sharing leg room...bad, bad, bad!

On a side note: The blog is going back to being a private blog. No more posting links and following memes. I just can't keep up. If you are already following along, please continue to peek in on us!
