Black Friday at Crown Center

We went to Crown Center for black Friday!

We got there early enough to see Santa arrive!  He pulled up in a horse-drawn sleigh.

The kids wanted to wait in line to see him.  They literally waited an hour and a half.  Here is Buddy telling him what he wants!

What a great looking Santa he was!

Buddy and his cousins with Frosty!  We had a great day and did a little shopping for Christmas decorations!

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving!  I didn't take a ton of pictures, but here is a recap...

We went to Daddy's aunts house for Thanksgiving lunch.  It was yummy as usual.  It also happened to be cousin Logan's 21st birthday, so we had a little birthday party too!  Buddy hardly spent any time inside because he was running around with Barrett, Harper, and Megan outside.  We also got news that cousin Chelsey is expecting another baby!

Later in the day, we headed to Grandma and Grandpa's (on Mommy's side).  It was fun to get together with everyone and play with all of the cousins!

We were excited that Granny was well and could come for a bit.  She hadn't seen the babies in a while.

Here are 3 of the 4 babies playing in the toy box!  We missed Liam this time, but we hope he will be around for Christmas!  Buddy was so busy playing with all of his cousins that I wasn't able to catch any pics of him!

Bubble Bath

Daddy decided to use our big tub for a bubble bath.  Buddy found him in there and dove in!

Here are the 2 Santa's with their beards!  If you can't tell, they are saying "ho, ho, ho!"

Twins' First Birthday Party

We had a party for the 4 babies that were born last November on Mommy's side of the family. It was a bowling party (to entertain all of the little kids, not the babies!), and we all had so much fun!

The yummy cupcakes my cousin made!  Mommy especially loved the chocolate ones!

Little bro in his cool bowling shirt my aunt found!

A beautiful pic of sissy that my cousin took.  She takes great pictures with her fancy camera!  Notice her cute bowling shirt too!

I thought this was a sweet pic of the twins!

Here are the four babies getting ready for cupcakes.  Mommy and her cousin made the girls' tutus.  They turned out great and only cost $5!

Here is a pic of the bunches of cousins!  Mommy's side of the family just keeps multiplying!

KU Game

We won free tickets to the KU game on Friday! Daddy went hunting, so Buddy and Mommy got to go!

Here is the big trophy from 2008!  It was fun to tell him the stories of how little he was (6 weeks old) and how we took him to Mass Street after the game back in 2008.  Buddy asked after the game if they won another big trophy since they won the game!  Let's hope we do get another BIG trophy next April!

Our seats were pretty good.  We even had seat backs!  Thanks grandma for watching the babies so we could enjoy the game!
