Christmas on the Bley Side

Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving with Mike's parents for lunch, then came home in the afternoon. It was a fun day.

Collin decided to give the lizard a swim in Kendra's cereal bowl after breakfast. :)

He had a new coat, and I put it on him to see if it fit. He was ready to go out the door as soon as I put it on him!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I am thankful for:

Being able to sleep in

Being able to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade with my kids

The yummy turkey dinner we will have in a little while

The fingerprints on my front door :)

My family

My friends

My home

My health

The brave Pilgrims who came here in the first place so that we can freely worship the Lord

So, so many other blessings!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Sleeping Peacefully

Collin is such a goof when he sleeps. His pajamas always look something like this. They are stretched about as far as they stretch I think.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

It was so fun to wake up this morning to see SNOW! Mike got called in early, so I actually knew before I got up, but it was fun to see what the kids thought of it. Collin was in awe, he couldn't quite figure it out when he touched it! :) I snapped this picture quick before I headed out the door to work. We have Christmas with Mike's family on Friday, so it puts me more in the mood!

Our Weekend In Wichita

We went to Wichita for the weekend, since we had a long one to see some close friends (Angie and Amy) we had not had a chance to see in a long time. (Marty and Renee also went.) It was a really great time for us to catch up, and just have fun together, and for the guys and kids to all get to know each other. As we were leaving Kendra said "Mom, we HAVE to do this again...it was fun!", and I agree! :)
