Aunt Kristy and Uncle Brad have been visiting as well. Along with them they brought their Wii, so the kids have been having a blast, its nothing like their Playstation!
Much better!!!Merry Christmas to all, we miss and love all the family and friends who are not wih us this holiday season.

I Need HELP! Please help me pick our Christmas card this year take the poll....

So much to be thankful for!!!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year, usually it is our immediate family every year, because of Mikes schedule at UPS. However this year we were able to have lots of family together. Gramma and Papa, along with Aunt Suzie and Uncle Geoff were able to come , And their daughter Sandy with her husband John and their two beautiful daughters Sara and Emily, came from Boston. We cant forget Grandma Easton!(Aunt Suzie's mother).
So we had a full house, which was wonderful!!!! I'm so grateful for every one I have in my life you all mean so much to me. I think Ive gotten use to seeing my mom over the last couple months, so I missed her alot today, as well as my dad. Today was just one of those days for the memories that I will always cherish, watching the kids bicker, eat, and bicker and eat some more, but overall to see the joy in their eyes!!( the boys may have been a little happy to have the two older girls in the house, but Faith was the one who was able to play "kitchen" with them all evening :)). Overall It was very joy full, I do miss the family that we were not able to be with, but I was able to speak with them and wish them well.

Happy Holidays

 
 
GOT BOOTS?

 

Alex celebrated his 8th Birthday! this was the "best birthday ever"!!! The first surprise was to have grandma come up from WV! Then the dirt bike of course! Its been a fun and exciting week, to bad its almost over! To top it all..... Mikes dad made us a new table and matching buffet, its beautiful, so of course I have rearranged the entire area of the house!

 

This past weekend we were able to relax and enjoy! Uncle Geoff and Aunt Suzie came over with Gramma and Papa for our Sunday football, for those who are unaware, Mike carries all of our TV's into the basement "Man room", so we fried a yummy Turkey, and had lots of snacks, ate to our hearts delight!!! I had to take a moment and enjoy the fall air, and scenery it was a beautiful sunset, I was able to capture it in all its glory. Moments like that make all the stresses of life small, even for just a moment, that we forget financial stress, parenting stress, most of all Holiday stress!! It was nice to be able to put it all perspective if only for a moment.I also added some other pictures of our busy Halloween day and night. I was able to help in Faiths Pre-K class for two days, to prepare for the big party and school parade of costumes, it was great to be apart of that. We also got to see Alex in his dirty hippie self during the parade, Andrew and a few of his friends dressed up as hobos.
Lots of fun!!!

 

Trick or Treat

 

 

 
Silly face with Nana!!!

 
The boys had a fun weekend! Uncle Ian came and picked them up for a SUPERSLEEPOVER! He took them and their cousin Liam to make their own sweatshirts. They also got to see their Nana, whom they havnt been able to see in a while, so she was very surprised! Its so cute to see them all together. Faith spent the night with gramma and Papa, she had fun as weel. So mom and dad actually had some time together, so we went out to dinner at the Livonia Inn, and went to the Flea Market this morning, a well needed break, but we missed them all and of course they were our topic of conversation the entire time!

Do you believe it! Football is finally over!!! Both of the boys had their last games this weekend!

Both games were parent appreciation games I was able to receive two handsome buttons of my boys and able to walk on the field with them both with Mike before each game. After Alex's game we all had a banquet with pizza and a metal ceremony, I am going to brag a little and say that Alex's Head coach predicted him to be the all star quarterback when his gets to Varsity!
Andrew had some crazy sacks during his game, and they won it as well. And to top of a wonderful season Grandma got to see it all, We all so happy she came from West Virgina
