Frosty

Gavin has been talking about building a snowman all fall. We've been eagerly watching the snow line make its slow way down the mountain in anticipation of this event. Being Juneau, the snow didn't last long but before it melted away, I made sure to take him out back and build a snowman with (for?) him.

He spent most of the time trying to eat snow.


That is when he wasn't busy trying to knock down our friend, Frosty


Unfortunately, it only lasted a day before it started raining. Now Gavin asks us daily "Whaahappen to my snoooowman?" "What happened, Gavin?" "It fell apart" Ahhh well. The first of many :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Gavin especially loved the rolls, which he helped Mama make. We made the dough on Wednesday night and when I asked if he wanted to help me roll them on Thursday he said happily "And put the eggs in, and the sugar!"


Grandma and Pa came over and we had a wonderful time. Aurora got to have some yummy sweet potatoes, although she wasn't so sure about it at first...



She decided it was pretty good afterall


Gavin's favorite part of dinner

Delighted

I was blessed with Juan (and his son, John - so nice to meet him in person)'s company for an hour last weekend at Kaladi Brother's Marty's. Little Miss Rora was a bit tired and she retired to her carrier where she sang herself to sleep oh so sweetly, if a bit loudly :) But not before enjoying some of Juan's company herself. Thank you for coming into town to visit us. Next time we'll have to come out to Chalupy.

Heading Home

No posts lately - been on the road. Up to the cold, cold North. For work, plus a little shopping :) Aurora and I sure miss Daddy and Brother, but we're headed home soon and will have lots of pics to share with everybody...

Trick or Treat

Last night Gavin was enjoying some halloween candy after dinner. Daddy walked by, leaned over him, and asked "Do you know what those are called?" pointing at the package of Smarties on the table.

Of course he did! Gavin replied in the cutest little authoritative voice,

"Knock on doors, say trick or treeeaaaat"

Fun in a Box

Two things. And I call them Thing One



and Thing Two.



These things will not bite you.



They want to have fun. Then out of the box came Thing Two and Thing One!

Happy Birthday Baby Boy

I can't believe you're three years old already.

We started out the weekend on Friday morning opening presents from Mommy & Daddy. He loved his toolbox

I took the day off work and chilled out with my kids all day. *sigh* Grandma and Pa came over with presents and then we ate dinner. Gavin didn't much care for the pizza (he's silly like that :) so I made him some Mac n Cheese, his favorite

Then he got his own socket cake

Which he did some serious damage to

But apparently it was really hard work :D

Sister even got a taste. She's not so sure about it

On Sunday we had a Thomas party for him. Gavin was excited at first "Ohhh! A Thomas Cake!!!" But quick to point out "Has nooooo 'moke?!?" ...guess I'll have to ramp up my cake decorating skills for next year...no smoke coming out of the smoke stack? What was I thinking?!?

It was tons of fun, we had a few friends over and snacks, then cake and ice cream and more! presents. I would like you to meet Thomas's long lost cousin, Mr Bill the Tank Engine

Happy Birthday Baby Boy ♥ Three is going to be so.much.fun.
