In November I had my friend Julie take pictures of the boys. They turned out to be really cute!
The begining of the month was filled with regular things, like standing outside in the rain, just so you can use your umbrella (Charlie). And, lining the markers up for something fun to do (Adam).
Grandma Sheri treated us, and many cousins, to Disney on Ice. The boys loved it! We rode the train there and back, so Charlie and Adam thought that was pretty cool!
Thanksgiving brought an adventurous drive to Seattle. We did pretty well with the weather until we got into the Snowqualmie Mountain pass. It was white knuckles for quite awhile!
We made it to Seattle on the 21st, just in time for Grandma Vicki's 60th birthday party!
That night the snow, and the sickness began. We were stuck in the house for a few days. During that time Adam got a stomach bug, and Charlie got a really sore throat that eventually turned into a strange rash on his face. Christian got sick on Wednesday night, really sick. He didn't feel better until Saturday. By this time, I felt sick, and worst of all Paul, on his wedding day. :(
Tanner is the sweetest boy, and his cousins love him. He's the best!
Papa Craig and Patty took us to Chucky Cheese! What a hit with the boys! They wouldn't have chosen anything else!
Tanner and Charlie made the best of the snow. Uncle Jeff helped them make a little snowman.
Thanksgiving dinner was nice. We missed having Aunt Susie and Great-Grandma Toni with us this year. It was just too difficult for Grandma Toni to come.
Poor Christian wasn't able to eat much. He didn't really eat for a couple of more days.
It was so cute to see the boys sleeping together, back to back. They love each other!
One of the best parts of Uncle Paul getting married is that our family grew fast! India is Adam's new cousin, along with Owen. We love them, and we love Allyson!
I had the pleasure of doing Allyson and India's hair for the big day!
The wedding took place at Allyson's parents house on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Paul was wishing that we hadn't shared our stomach bug with him. He did not feel his best. We will always feel kind of bad about this!
Papa Ken became an ordained minister on the internet, and he was able to marry them. He did a great job! My favorite part was his reference to the similarity between his and Vicki's marraige and Paul and Allyson's. He said that he had also met a beautiful woman who had two wonderful children. It was really special!
We had a hard time keeping Adam quiet during the ceremony. For awhile I was able to get hime to hide under this buffet. It didn't last long enough, but no one, but Christian and I, seemed to mind.
Allyson, you will not find a better mother-in-law than Vicki. I swear it's true!
Brothers!
Time with Papa Far Away is pretty great!
Adam LOVED these place cards that the kids made for the tables. He admired them until it was his turn to find his name and take his card. I wish I would have kept them, they were really cute!
Allyson, surprisingly, was not afraid of Paul's germs. She even sealed the deal with a kiss! I think she really loves him!
Charlie loved playing with his new cousin, Owen.
A great little family!
You know I'm a fan of cupcakes...well, it's hard for me to say this out loud....or, to write it down, because it will be surprising to all who know me. So far, Magnolia Bakery, in NYC, has been the BEST at cupcakes,for me. Okay, I have to just say it! Trophy cupcakes are my new favorite, it's just the truth. In a way, it's good news, because I go to Seattle a lot more often than NYC. There. It's out!
Charlie let us know when it was time for the party to be over. (If you look closely, you can see the rash on his peacful sleeping face.)
The next day brought another adventurous drive home. It was really beautiful in the mountains. We ended up staying in Baker City, OR that night. On Monday, we finished our drive, and we were all grumpy. We arrived home that evening to a foot of snow in our driveway, but all was well. The more distance we put between ourselves and the trip, the more good things I remember. Two highlights: Vicki's birthday, so glad we could be there, and Paul and Allyson's wedding, we will be a better family WITH them! And that's just the truth!
