Thanksgiving

We were lucky enough to get Wes and Lindsay at our house this Thanksgiving. We started the morning off with the yearly Turkey Bowl. Wes and Will were on the same team so thier wives didn't have to be split chearing. Cole brought his t-ball set he got for his birthday so the kids had fun playing that. Then, we went to Will's Aunts for a traditional Southern Thanksgiving. Not to be confused with a western thanksgiving. We went home and my family had a nap but Wes's kids were not sleepy so that didn't work out too well for them. Later we had a western thanksgiving with stove top stuffing mashed potatoes, and left over turkey from the other meal. Later that night we played hearts (which I won although Will thiks that the Winsor way of playing is cheating. He doesn't know what he is talking about though.) It was so much fun. Fri. Lindsay and I went black friday shopping (my first time ever...if you don't count working one). It wasn't too bad because we didn't get up early and we didn't really care what we got so there was no stress to fight for things. We got some good deals with out having to throw a punch. ( was ready though :))

Happy Birthday Cole!!!

Cole turned three on Nov. 25. We had a birthday party for him at the park. It started at 5 and ended at 6ish (because it gets dark so early). All of his friends were there and they all had such a great time! His best friend (Caroline) is the one sitting by him in the cake picture. They were chasing eachother all over the park. I think he was glad when it ended though because he was getting cold. Not only that but the party didn't end because he got to have his cousins spend the night at his house. He was able to stay up as late as he wanted and at 10:30 he grabbed his blanket, and marched into his room. I was surprised that he was able to make it so late. Wes was laying on the couch and a few minutes before he went to bed, Cole went up and cuddled up next to Wes. I thought it was soo cute. We love him very much and feel so lucky to have him in our family.

Serena's wedding

This wedding was really fun. Serena is such a creative person (even though she doesn't think so). She had a spider in her hair, ghost chair covers, a head stone cake that said, "here lies my single life", and the cutest halloween food ever!!! She had cartoonists to draw all of her guests and then her sister made a copy of each persons drawings for Serena's own guest book. I didn't get a chance to get mine done because the line was so long and I had to leave early with Allie. It was a beautifully haunting wedding. I loved it and am soo glad I was able to go. Thank you York!
