Getting rid of the leftovers...

was hard... but such a relief! I threw them all out today... mashed potatoes, cheesy potatoes, stuffing, rolls, gravy, chili con queso, ham, etc. The only thing we kept were the pies. Next year I'm going to remind myself that I don't need to make enough food to feed 100 people when we're only feeding 10. This picture will help me remember that!

Big hug.

Ren walked over to Cohen and gave him a big hug. It was so precious. They just stood there for a minute, hugging... long enough for me to take a picture, even!

Dancin' the night away.

Cohen was bustin' a move to his Thomas movie songs.... very funny.

Reading with Aunt Jaimey and Uncle Jim.

Thanksgiving flowers.

Preppin' for Turkey Day!

Playdate.

Playing...

Cohen and Ren are playing together now... well, sort of. Cohen plays with his stuff, and Ren just crawls and walks all over it and dumps toys out of bins and chews on everything... Cohen gets upset, but he's handling it better overall. Some days are easier than others... he did pretty well today.

Ren's birthday cake.

Blue Eyes

This is Ren in his new shirt... I think it brings out his blue eyes nicely.

A gift from Auntie Jaimey...

These adorable baby shoes arrived in the mail for Ren. Aren't they precious?

Happy Birthday, Ren!

This is the gift Cohen picked out for Ren... he even picked out the wrapping paper, Elmo card, and ribbon. He was so excited to get it ready for Ren's birthday!

Balls!

Ren loves walking around with a ball in each hand.

A little mushroom.

I found this little guy in our backyard and thought he was too cute to not document.

Gift set for Heidi...

Brotherly Love

A visit to my hairstylist...

always makes me happy! Here's my new look -- highlights and a trim.

Dinner...

YUM!

Goin' shoppin' around the house...

is tons of fun!

Prepared.

I always love it when Cohen falls asleep with something in his hand. Here he's prepared for that mid-nap drink of water.

Silly antenna headband.

Cohen got this funny antenna like headband from his preschool treasure box. He thought they were a perfect fit for Ren. And Ren was a good sport and wore them for awhile just to entertain us all.

Swing batta!

We played with cousins today. Such fun! Here's Cohen swingin' the bat (eyes closed and all). We were all surprised when he actually hit the ball!

Ren's gettin' more teeth!

Ren now has two bottom teeth, two top teeth and a few on the horizon. Such a cute teethy grin!

Cuties.
