aside from the occasional growl & tatal telling moments
the big boys have decided they like each other.
I feel like some alien life form has
taken over T & Britt's little bodies.
We are on day 3 of brotherly love!
I am sure the moment I post this I will hear screams of protest from their bed room.
T & Britt have been busy:
Being chased by pretend ghosts.
playing trains
Building car ramps
making hats out of play-doh
reading Christmas books
marching like soldiers to the hymn "Called to Serve"
eating M&Ms & Rice crispy treats (which Britt pronounces as "Christmas trees.")
playing eye spy
Please...heaven above...let it continue!!!

Thanksgiving was relaxing.
Wednesday, Rod's Mother arrived.
Thursday could not have been more relaxing.
We stayed in our jammies till 11
the parade was on.
the turkey was cooking.
we had a breakfast of stuffed pancakes & apple crisp.
Rod helped out in the kitchen.
(he makes a mean brussel sprout!!)
Together we cooked up this menu:
Apple cider & spiced Turkey
Apple & Cranberry stuffing
Gravy
fresh pan fried brussel sprouts
Peanut & spicy green beans
Fresh rolls
Fully loaded mashed potatoes
Roasted maple sweet potatoes
cranberry jam
chocolate pecan pie
mini pumpkin & chocolate tarts
chocolate cream pie
We ate &
then the whitings joined us for dessert.
Tamsyn made a yummy pie that I wish she had forgotten here.
We crashed at the end of the day.
It really was just so very relaxing!
Maggi had to take off to
pick up her two puppies on Saturday.
She spoiled the kids with treats & more treats.
they loved it.
We were glad she came.
Beacuse I was in the kitchen & with my family
my camera made it out for one early morning shot
before Maggi made her way back to the beach.
Hope your thanksgiving was just as beautiful!
