Dallas Thanksgiving

Another whirlwind start to the holiday season! Thanksgiving was filled with busy moving and lots o' eatin. I'm so thankful Matthew and I could make the 12 hour drive to Dallas (and thankful we made it back home safely) to meet my new nephew and chill with my old nephew, well he's not quite two yet...Oh and see some other family members that are barely pictured here because these boys were the focus of everyone's attention.  Big brother Easton was adorable with little Tanner. He kept giving him kisses and whenever he'd cry, Easton would say... "uh oh, baby".  He's working on sentence completion  right now. Tanner looks just like Easton did- sweet, cute, and edible. I got a little practice of my own while I was there. Man am I glad we are just starting with one child at a time! I couldn't love him more. I wish we lived closer! We all took Easton to the Gaylord Hotel for the "Ice" exhibit. The theme this year was Madaga

Better late than never

It's been a busy couple of weeks, hence the delay in this post. But Matthew and I couldn't let our annual pumpkin carving pass by, so we decided to have Halloween in November. After his birthday we made an excellent Jack and Jill. Our neighbors probably thought we were weird--- just blame it on the baby. I already do that for everything else- poor kid doesn't have a chance. We loved coming home the first week of November to the lit up gords and a slice of my famous Homemade Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream cake (Matthew's annual birthday request). Can you guess which one Matthew carved? I'm so excited for a week off of work as we prepare to give thanks after our 12 hour car ride to Dallas. I will be giving thanks for car games and Christmas music the day after Thanksgiving!!! Oh and maybe a few other significant and less trivial blessings. ~CC

Halloween and Heaven

Our last slice of fall heaven was found in Helen, GA. We met some friends of ours up there to savor the end of the season. Bad quality pic, but the Clausens are true campers! Daniel slept in a hammock the whole night! My little nephew Easton is growing up too fast. Not sure how he got the boo boo, but I'm sure he got to say boo last Wednesday and received some candy to wipe away his tears. How precious is my new nephew. Not even two months old yet. I can't wait to meet him at Thanksgiving! Almost 18 weeks! We are almost half way there. I feel huge sometimes, but then I do all my dancer stretches, so I make myself feel better that way. :) It's all about perspective. ~BiggerBuster
