Lucy and Ernie. BFFs

 

 

 

I am glad they are friends.

This is not normal.

 

This is Ernie and this is what he normally looks like.

 This is what Ernie looked like this morning.  I have no idea what happened.  I kind of think that he was stung by a bee.  He looks awful, like the elephant man dog.

 I don't think he was too happy about it either. 

I went to Walgreen's and got him some Benadryl.  He was looking much better after 2 pills.  Poor puppy. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year for Thanksgiving we had our friend's family and my parents as our guests.  We worked most of the day Wednesday to prepare so there really wasn't too much to do on Thursday.  Before our feast we did a little craft.  I found the idea on Pinterest but I think ours turned out much cuter.  My mom cut out all of the pieces and the kids put together their turkey hats before our feast. 

 

 I really think the adults put them together, but the kids at least felt like they were doing something.

 What a happy little turkey (no pun intended).

And here is our feast of feasts, or at least what was left of it.  If you look in the roaster pan you will see my homemade stuffing (I'm talking from loaves of fresh bread even).  It was amazing.  I am very proud if you can't tell.  Everything was great and better yet we had great company!

 

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!

California Trip 2012

We went to California a few weeks ago for my sister-in-law's baby shower.  We stayed at my brother's house and didn't really leave too often because we had Dan with us and it is too hard to leave and do much, but here are a few things we did...

We went to the Galleria Mall to do a little Christmas shopping and just to get out of the house.  Bruce really enjoyed the cars and trains even if there was no money in them.

They had a play area and Bruce played there for a while.  He was happy to get out of the house.

I took this picture for his daddy.  Alan hates the Bulls (as do I).  I just like to give Alan a hard time.

Alan hates the Yankees even more; he is a Red Sox fan.

We made a stop at In N Out.  So yummy!

On Saturday we went to the baby shower.  It was FANCY!  They had it catered and there was a cake. 

Charlotte is due in January.  She got a lot of fun things!

Yummy food.

Grandebbie and Lucy.

This is my sister in law, Rachel, chatting with her aunt.

Here is Lucy chilling at Brandon's house. 

Lucy was ready to go home!  It is always fun to visit but it is nice to go home as well.  We had a great time and we wish Rachel the best with her new little bambina.
