Pictures from our Thanksgiving weekend

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend full of fun and good times with family. I wish My parents were able to have been here. But we have been spoiled with spending time with them as well lately! :) Fuad's parents came up and stayed for a few days and enjoyed playing games and reading with the grandkids.



Lucky for us one of our neighbors was out taking family pictures,so we asked them to take a few for us as well.



The kids all had a blast and even though I had to miss the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade we did watch movies together,and enjoyed the traditional cinnamon roll breakfast.



And now we are decking our home for the holidays and playing with the kids. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Colds and Christmas cards

For the last week and a half Fuad and I have been feeling less then good. It is that magical time of year when we pass "the sick" between us. Thankfully the kids are spared and it is just us this year. So I thought before I mess up lets take our Christmas pictures before someone gets ill. I will admit I was only about 40% into picture taking on this day. my goal was to simply get 1 picture where all 3 kids are looking. Ta-da! Now I am feeling a little better and good thing because tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Which means cinnamon rolls and the Macy's parade for breakfast and fun and cooking all day! So I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and We would like to say we are so grateful for everything,and everyone we have in our lives.Lots of love and thanks to all our friends and family.

Birthday boy

Ok, maybe not Birthday "boy" exactly... Fuad turned another year older on Friday. We had my parents, and his brother Paul and his wife Jacque over. It was great to get together with family and celebrate! I love my wonderful husband, I was just laughing with him that we celebrated his 36th birthday together at work, and he is 45 now! Time flies when your enjoying life. He is my best friend and a great Daddy to our kiddos. Happy Birthday Fuad. We love you!

Halloween 2011

Another fun halloween for the kids. Rory helped Rebecca to say "trick or treat", and to get candy from the "spooky" houses for her. And Dakota went around with his friends.They all had a blast! It was a little too cold to be out once the sun set, but we had lots of fun and cannot wait for the holiday season!
