Turkey, Snow Boots, Ears, and Farts

November 26th
We made our own Thanksgiving dinner. All the kids helped. Well, G wasn't so much helping as he was being a big fat pain in the rear. But that's okay. We all enjoyed ourselves. We had Aspen and her girls over. After a good dinner, cleaning up about 76 drink spills, and pie, we ended the night with some Rock Band.
I thought it was hilarious that he fell asleep with a snow boot on his hand. Of course he has his dark-dark blue blanket, and he is sucking on his tongue. I was glad cooking bored him enough to take a nap.

I am not a Black Friday shopper, but in the afternoon we decided we wanted to go out for a bit. First we went to Old Navy and got some sweaters. Then we decided to go to the mall. Right when we walked in I saw this ear piercing booth. It wasn't even on my radar, but we decided to go for it. All three of the girls wanted to do it. They did. And they all three cried. Rhon was the bravest, so she went first. Dare tried really hard not to cry on the first ear. She just said, "Owwwch!" But she couldn't hold back the tears on ear number 2. B.A. is by far my biggest weenie, so she went last. I really thought she was going to back out after seeing her sisters do it. But she did it. She was crying before it even happened, but she recovered fast. They are so excited. The rest of the mall trip was filled with talk about all the earrings they can wear. Oh, I almost forgot. We went to In-N-Out for dinner. Nice.

Family pictures! We had a good time, and I can't wait to see them. Mads was hilarious. Every time we were in a group he would fart. Then he would announce that he farted, and everyone would laugh. Man, that kid farts a lot!

Of course G is on the counter as you cook! He is so funny : )
And I have to say that the dinner looks yummy. I wish I could have sampled the final product!
Natalie got her ears pierced this year. She surprised me by crying tons. Now Elaina is determined to never have hers done. How fun that they did it together!

That is so cute they all did it together! You are such a nice mom! I love the story about the wet cement, too funny!

There's nothing like a little flatulence to loosen everyone up. We could've used some of that when we got our pictures taken.

I'll never forget our ear piercing experience this year. At least none of them had to do a redo.

Your dog is soooo cute.
