Happy Thanksgiving 2007

Oma and Opa come for Thanksgiving. We love it when they come visit. Opa makes the turkey and Oma and the girls make the rest of the fixins....we had such a blast with them...and of course the day after Oma and I get the house decorated for Christmas...it looks beautiful and it's so much fun. We put on Christmas music and get to work....we love you Oma and Opa and can't wait for the next visit.

Kaitlyn getting her Opa fix...she loves her Opa and enjoys watching a movie and eating popcorn

Kaitlyn and Oma making pigs in the blankets...hmmm, hmmm good.

Eddie and Opa hang out while Eddie plays the video game of football...Opa says Eddie cheats!

Football banquet - Eddie receives his certificate for a job well done playing football. He enjoyed the game so much and learned so much this year.

A Christmas Carol

Our drama star, Kristina played Mrs. Cratchett in the school play "A Christmas Carol". It was an amazing production and so neat to watch her.

Clayton fell in love with the ghost of Christmas Past. He wanted to meet her and get his picture with her. We found her after the show but she had already taken off the makeup....he didn't care....he LOVED the show and said it was awesome....he got so excited when he saw Kristina on stage...Matthew had to whisper to him to stay quiet...too funny!

Oma and Clayton waiting for Kristina's play to start...

I just love this picture...Kaitlyn looking out the window...

Princess Kaitlyn turns 3

Here are pictures of Kaitlyn who just turned 3. Oma bought her a Tinkerbell costume so Daddy helped by putting the wings on. She was soooo tired after all the excitement. When it was time to blow out the candles, she got scared and asked for Daddy's help. Our little princess is growing too fast. At age 3 she has an amazing vocabulary. She's quite independent and always getting into something....if she's out of sight and quiet, we know she's into something so beware!

Here's Connor sitting with Daddy....oh how he loves his "DaDa"

Daddy's little girl saying goodbye before heading off to a Seahawks game in Seattle...check out the jersey...Matthew wearing Eddie's Seahawks jersey...how dare he.
