who needs toys...

...when you've got a cardboard box full of packing peanuts??? Aunt Barrie sent her Christma-Hanukkah gifts to us a couple of weeks ago, and the girls had a blast! Next holiday season, this is all that's going on their wish lists! :)

Look what we got in the mail today!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Where's Gracelyn hiding?

Havin' a blast, can't you tell?

We love cardboard boxes full of packing peanuts! Thanks, Aunt Barrie!

better late than never, right?

Well, since it's already Hanukkah and Christmas is just around the corner, it's probably a good time (or about time already!!) to post some Thanksgiving photos! Sorry for the delay getting these up!

For Thanksgiving, we went up to Seattle for the week, to spend the holiday with Ellen, Barrie and Paul. Brrrr! It was cold! The sun was hiding until the day we went back home, but we had a great time! Here are some of the highlights:

Barrel tasting at J&M Winery

Haven flirting with the owner of the winery...Oh, dear!

Working with clay at the Seattle Children's Museum

Busy shopping day at the Museum!

Crab Pot Dinner!!

Playing with the dirty ice that the crabs rest in...

...and eating it, too! Ewwwww!

At the touch pool at the Seattle Aquarium

Rocking out to some Wii Rock Band

Helping Gma make cranberry mold

Trying on Aunt Barrie's $1000 shoes...See, Mommie wasn't the only one raiding her closet!

Look at my Turkey Day meal! Yum!
