Happy Thanksgiving!!

Yesterday was a great day! We have so much to be thankful for - each other, family, friends, good health, good jobs and of course, our beautiful children!! We went to Nana and Papa's for dinner and to spend the afternoon with them.

My parents got out some of mine and Jamie's old toys. Lily and I cleaned my old My Little Pony castle. It was a lot of fun to see the toys and remember when I used to play with them!
Dillon played with it more than Lily, though! It's okay though because he zoomed his cars and trains through the house...just like a boy :)

Then, last evening, we stopped by Heather's parents' house to see her and Uncle Jeremy. Heather's mom bought the kids coloring books and markers. There were other kids there and Lily and Dillon had so much fun playing with them. Lily cried when it was time to leave.

This photo is from a few days ago. I think it's cute when they both ride the train together!

Dillon's Boo-Boo

Dressed alike in their Thanksgiving shirts

Dillon fell off his toy car at Nana and Papa's and got some pretty bad road rash. It's healing nicely, though. We hope it's better before we take our Christmas card photos.

Dillon is being a stinker lately. He's truly a boy! He climbs out of his crib and strips down to his birthday suit. Lily didn't do either of those so this is new for us. Hope he outgrows it soon!

Trick or Treating & Papa's Birthday

Dressed up and snuggled up in the wagon, waiting to go trick or treating. They stayed in the wagon the entire time. Anson only took them to houses he could pull them up to.

Here we go!

Dillon kept eating the candy wrapper and all! Also, when he took a piece of candy from someone's dish, he would put a piece from his bucket in their dish...like he was swapping candy with them. It was cute.

When we go home we sat with Nana and Papa and helped pass out candy.

Happy Halloween!

We carved our pumpkin last night!

Pickle kept trying to eat the pumpkin and seeds. This kid will eat anything!

The finished pumpkin! Lily asked for a scary face.

On Friday, Anson dressed up for work. His work has a costume contest. Hopefully you can tell who Anson was....Steven Slater...crazy Jet Blue flight attendant. They haven't announced the winners yet, so we don't know if he placed. He was so creative in how he made the drink cart. He wrapped two diaper boxes in duct tape and taped them together. He made shelves to put the snacks and drinks on. He made the name badge and bought the sweater and shirt at Goodwill. He even had an emergency card in his apron pocket and a seat belt. I hope he wins something!

Later today, we are heading over to my parents house to celebrate my Dad's birthday, which was yesterday, and to take the kids trick or treating! Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Lily the Lady Bug and Dillon the Frog go to Boo at the Akron Zoo!

Tonight we took Lily and Dillon to the Akron Zoo for Boo at the Zoo. We met Jen, Ken and Zack there. We had a lot of fun!

Frogs like to eat Lady Bugs, right?

Trick or Treating...

Zack was dressed up as the Big Bad Wolf!
