Christmas Stockings!

Evan and Daddy hanging the stockings with care.

Apparently Pottery Barn is no longer making semi-normal sized Christmas stockings so Hollan's is big enough to fit her inside.

Lions and Tigers and...Yellow Trucks

Today the kiddos and I took Daddy to Out of Africa.

Waiting in line for the tram.

Our old pal Kibo the giraffe.
Kibo and Evan get reacquainted over some carrots.
This is the top of the food chain.
So Evan's favorite part of Out of Africa wasn't all the super cool animals, it was the yellow trolley trucks. We didn't get to ride on one (we had zebra printed trucks but those were apparently lame compared to the yellow ones) so we had Evan sit on the bumper for a picture.






Oops, face plant. Evan's second favorite part was running in the dirt.
The Bit.
The girls.
A good spot for a rest.
A short break from running...
...and he's off again!
Daddy & Evan trying to feed Pilgrim, who was in giraffe time out.
Sweet Bit!

Friday Morning at the Park

We had the park all to ourselves on Friday morning. I am sure everyone had been at Kohl's since 3am shopping!

The Dude climbing the ladder.

Handsome man!

"Geez! Again with this??"

Mama & the Bitty.

Climbing up the slide.

Thanksgiving 2010

Jessica from Brian's office (you may remember her previous culinary masterpieces, the animal cupcakes) made rice krispie treat turkeys. Evan gobbled it up...ha!

The Itty Bitty after bath.
So fresh and so clean clean!
Christmas picture attempt #3.

Evan is trying to feed Hollan a french fry.

Now we're getting somewhere!

I love the way Evan is holding her. He is really getting the hang of this big brother thing. He looks annoyed by his responsibility.
Evan assisting with the Thanksgiving vegetable juicing. He is great at testing the food before it goes in....a bite of apple, a bite of carrot!
The Thanksgiving table. Oh, how I laughed when my mom gave me that turkey candle.
Sweet Bit.
Whoa!

Thumbs up for cooking my first Thanksgiving feast.
The Dude, post nap, pre-turkey.
Gearing up for the feast!
Evan just got the hang of thumbs up so we're really thumbsing up a lot.
Evan loves turkey!
The finale, gingersnap cherry cheesecake. Which Evan did not like. So I ate his piece, too. Bummer.
