Week of Thanksgiving

We just returned from Minnesota, where we spent the week of Thanksgiving.  All of John's family either drove or flew in to stay at John's sister's house.  We had the best time!  Caleb and his cousins were so cute together!  

We saw Twilight on Tuesday night.  I was expecting a bit more from the movie, I thought it was a little corny and the music didn't fit some of the scenes.  But--it was still really fun to see after reading all of the books.  No movie ever does justice to what you picture in your imagination!


We played games, ate made crafts, played golf & football, and probably one of the most fun traditions John has in his family, we went and played kick the can in the church gym.  The week went by way too fast, Caleb has already been asking about his cousins!  We appreciate all the help and work that went into making the trip possible for us and everyone else.  A big thank you to the Teeples, all of John's siblings and parents, we love you!

Winter has arrived!


We were enjoying mild temperatures and beautiful fall colors, when bam, winter seemed to come over night!  Coming from Seattle, it maybe snowed twice (and only 3 inches at most!) last year.  This week, it has snowed practically every day!  So far, Caleb hasn't been too impressed with all the white powder.  After we've played outside for a few minutes he will tell me "inside, inside mommy", of course I don't want to go inside after 10 minutes, I had just spent 30 minutes bundling him and myself up!  If I say no, we're going to stay outside a little longer.  Caleb will then say "eat mommy, eat!", he'll go down the list, saying anything to get us indoors! 

I did get one happy picture...
