The girls have been soooooooooo into the card game of UNO. Every day UNO. Skip a turn, pick up 2, pick up 4, UNO! They also like to team up on Michael & me and give each other high fives. In the summer, it was all about melting beads. But this fall has been all about UNO. It's a great family game.
Thanksgiving dinner with the Smith's and the Moore's was great fun. We had a potluck dinner at the Smith's new house. Joann made the turkey and an AMAZING stuffing. Ali's vegetables were delicious. And Grandma Smith made a great, tarty cranberry dessert (from Ina Garten's new recipe book). I brought the salad and pumpkin pie. Michael bought a chocolate eruption cake from Whole Foods with "HHWJTCRK and HTTTR" (or something like that) on it.
The adults played Cranium Whoonu while the kids played with the new Xbox Kinect. And then the adults played Kinect while the kids ate popcorn and watched "Polar Express". Fun was had by all.
As Cooper said, "Happy Thanksgiving, Turkey!"
About Me
- DD
- I was born & raised in Vancouver, BC but now live in suburban Kirkland, WA. I love adventure although I seem to be more cautious since having kids. Scuba diving, sky diving, two safaris in Africa, backpacking Europe, soul-searching in Israel, and the list goes on, have all been in my distant past. Now, my life is about family and raising my kids to love God, love people and serve the world. I have got one talented husband, one angel child, one spirited child, and a large, supportive extended family. Life is good.
