Thanksgiving Week

Thanksgiving week was a busy one, but it was wonderful! My sisters, brother (in-law), and nephews came and we had a great, crazy, noisy, rambunctious, food-filled time. :) Here are just a few pictures...

Jacobi loved playing in the leaves as much as the older boys--they were throwing leaves and he wanted in on the action too, of course. :)


This was the planned bath after our foster son's birthday party--lots of red icing to be cleaned off. :P

This was Jacobi's second bath--totally his own idea of course. Water left in tub + 1.5 seconds + busy boy=boy dressed in pajamas in bathwater getting 2nd bath of the night. (and one annoyed mama who couldn't help but laugh anyway)

Xander, P (foster son), & Kingston loving the leaf pile

P's birthday cake--a firetruck! It's not perfect, but I am still quite impressed that my usually un-artistic self managed to pull it off...and it tasted yummy, too! I'll also admit that it was quite fun, especially when the birthday boy can't stop talking about it and was totally thrilled with it...except he kept asking it if could move since it had wheels...hmmmm, now isn't that asking a bit much?! ;P

Absolutely hilarious! Love those bath time clothes! I hope we get to see him soon and this time he'll be WALKING!

Anxious to see Mr. P again too...another cutie!

Thanks for keeping this blog going for the likes of us that haven't ventured into the Facebook world!

love Jacobi in the tub with p.j's.

we did a firetruck for Nolan's birthday one year. it's a good idea to use red paste. we used red food coloring and couldn't get it red enough, it had a slight pink tinge to it

yeah, I used 3 small bottles of red food coloring and it was still a little pink but no one cared. :)
