Visitors- Round 3

THANKSGIVING

Our third round of house guests (Matt's parents) arrived Wednesday night to spend Thanksgiving with us.

Isaac, Kaylee and the Bapas
Is there anything more precious than a sleeping baby?



Matt carves the bird (which I cooked to perfection by the way!)

Chef Mandy

It looks like Isaac couldn't wait to get started


Poor Kaylee, you'll get some turkey next year...

After we all recovered from the big meal (and I had my nap) we set up the Christmas tree.

Visitors- Round 2

On Sat. November18 Matt left in the morning to drop Jon, Jodi and their kids off at Logan Airport (Boston) and on his way back he picked my sister Amanda up in Portland. So the fun continued!

At church on Sunday EVERYBODY commented on how much we look alike. I never thought we looked that similiar, but just in case you can't tell us apart, she's the one holding Kaylee.





I have to say a big THANK YOU to Amanda for all the help she gave me while she was here. She basically spent the week being a cook, housecleaner, nanny, and personal shopper. What a great Aunt!!

all dressed up & no place to go

Today I tried a dress on Kaylee for the first time. I thought she looked pretty cute, and I was kinda bummed that we didn't have anywhere to go so I could show her off. So I I decided to just take a bunch of pictures of her instead. Plus, after all the hassel of getting the whole ensamble on her, I really didn't feel like taking it off her and then redressing her in something different.

Matt came home and said she looked like "Pop 'n Fresh"

Hmm... I wonder what Isaac is doing

It looks like he's reading the e-toys catalog and picking out his Christmas presents.

I think he decided on the Power Wheels Ulitmate Terrain Traction Jeep Hurricane. ($389.99)

Keep dreaming Isaac!

Halloween

So I thought for Halloween it would be really cute to have Isaac dressed up as Elmo and Kaylee dressed as Zoe (also a sesame street character, for those of who are not up on kid's t.v.) And, it was cute, but the sad truth is they have no idea what is going on, and they really don't care. I think the reality of this hit me when I was practically wrestling with Isaac to get him to keep his Elmo head on.

Although, once we got to the parade he was so distracted (or maybe tired becuase he missed his nap) that he gave up fighting and did wear it.
Isaac was supposed to have a different Elmo
costume, but ended up with this home-made
version at the last minute. He still looked cute
though!

Our tradion of carving a pumpkin to match their costume

Isaac really got into the pumpkin carving (almost literally)
