Thanksgiving Week

We made it home from Utah and we think that next time this is how we'll handle the plane flight.
I spent most of the day unpacking and doing laundry and these two played in the suitcases. I only had to zip and unzip them a couple of times and a few rides around the house made for an easy morning. Someone remind me why we even buy toys....?

And this little guy turned 3 last Tuesday!
Check out the weather outside the window.
He waited all day so patiently to eat his cake and wear the party hat. Kimball made it up there for his birthday which as you can imagine really was the icing on the cake.

Since it snowed and snowed the kids had plenty of snow time. Attatching the sled to the back of Daisy (my mom's ranger) was the best idea ever. No climbing up and down hills.
Hannah even braved the storm. In this little puffy suit she totally had an "I can't put my arms down!" moment. If you don't know that line please go watch A Christmas Story. Yes, go right this minute.

And Mallie stayed true to character and was the angel child the entire week and on both flights. And she turned 4 months old today! She really was the best suprise ever.

What a perfect week. Thanks Mom and Dad! Now on to finish out the year. We're looking forward to David being done studying for the Boards and Christmas. Dare I say it outloud... we only have 6 months left of school!

I am totally not excited with David finishing school! I think it is terrible! Because when that happens all of you will leave and I will be soooo sad! What will I do without my little grandbaby hugs?! Too sad:(

The picture of them in the suitcase is so cute! Yay for only 6 months of school left. We're excited and it's still 18 for us.
