Thanksgiving, etc.

So, I find myself trying to post about our busy past month, and not really having many pictures to document all that we have done! Mid-November, Ben and I had a "weekend away" in St. Paul while the kids stayed with Papa and JuJu. We went to our first opera, ate out, and strolled through the Mall of America with no agenda! It was great!

We spent Thanksgiving day at my parents' house and ate some yummy food. Miles refused to eat anything but red jello, which he had from head to toe and required two outfit changes...good idea, Grandma!! Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera!

The weekend after Thanksgiving, we had a visit from Alex, Katie, and the kids. Jonas loved being able to show Abbie his room and his toys!
Here's the cousin photo:

Aunt Katie's looking a little overwhelmed, don't you think?

Miles LOVED "the baby" and was sooooooo thrilled to get to hold her!

Then, up went the tree. Here's a picture of the boys decorating it on the night we put it up. However, I could have snapped this picture on any night since...we've had a LOT of re-decorating going on!!

This week we had about 14 inches of snow fall. Jonas thought it was really fun to go out and play. Miles...not so much. Two seconds before I took this picture, Miles was sound asleep in that very spot on the front step. Getting all bundled up must have really worn him out!

And here's what's been going on during a typical day at our house:
Two superheroes, just waiting for the next call...

Do these boots match my...um...shirt????
