Thanksgiving and Christmas 2009

Yes, it has been way too long since I posted to this blog! Been doing more on fb lately and let's face it catching up on reality TV at night instead of playing on the computer ; ) Here's a quick catch up with random shots between November and March......

We found our perfect tree! Lot's of sun but very cold December day

Somebody LOVED exploring the tree farm
Mee Maw and Pee Paw with the FEAST in their new kitchen (yes pp is making googly eyes at D)
I love helping daddy in the yard and I find lots of other things to do out here. Mommy will put me in darker pants next time since it took several washes to get all the mud off these...

Halloween

Devin and I went trick or treating in old town sherwood and he was surprisingly good at it. At first he grabbed a handful of candy though he doesn't really know what it is. He dropped it when told to just take one and carefully made his selection. One of the businesses was offering a free photo of your child in costume. We could not get Devin to smile for the camera but as we left the studio we came across this monster costumed young man and Devin smiled huge and offered the monster some candy. Next year, we will replace the cuddly stuffed animal props for a blood curdling mask and see if we can get a better photo shoot. I thought for sure D wouldn't want his Tigger hood on but he seemed to get more upset when it fell down as if he knew the costume was not complete without it. He had fun at US Bank and was very good while mommy deposited checks. He was very certain however that he should hold his candy bag and NOBODY else!

Zoo fun

Kira got a new chair for her birthday and it fits US just perfect!
Petting the Goats at the Oregon Zoo, though the terrain was the most interesting part to me!
Don't I look Devinaire?
I can feed myself pretty good with a spoon these days.....without going hungry!
I tackled Kira and hurt her so I had to give her a hug. I hope she forgives me!

We had an amazing race birthday party for Kira for her 13th. It was lots of fun and all nine girls made it so we had 3 teams of 3. We had great weather and the girls were asking for more when it was over. Afterwards they hung out and spent a good deal of time with Devin and his toys! So while the adults were watching the Beaver game, Devin was figuring out the functions on each girls cell phone and getting more attention than he's probably had in his life!

I just love this picture of Devin and the girls. He looks so sweet and innocent touching his sisters face and sharing those beautiful brown eyes with his east coast cousins

Just thought I'd see if there was something waiting for me in here since the key is here and all...

Helloooooo? Anybody in here?

Staring at the kitty always makes him nervous! ; )
