Chuck's Thanksgiving

Our friend Chuck had a group of people over for a Thanksgiving meal. He had bought a deep fryer and got the turkey and fried it up. It was SO good and he was a great host.

We also had another Thanksgiving meal the next day that we went to, but I forgot to take photos.

Xmas Decorations 2010

We found a free night and "made" some cookies and put up our Christmas decorations. It was a lot of fun and the kids really enjoyed it too. Reed is obsessed with Santa!

Tantrum

Reed is sitting so nicely, enjoying his lunch...

Tantrum

Then there is Sophie....I do not find this at all humorous right now, but I know that there will be a day that I will be able to look back and laugh at this.

Sophie's singing voice

Sophie has been throwing lots of tantrums lately (thank you terrible twos) so she's been spending a lot of time in time out and in bed. I had sent her up to bed on this particular occasion and then when she was done with her screaming, this is what she did....




And since she stopped singing for me in that video and was being a complete turkey, I caught her again on my top secret spy mission....

Reed's Play date

I had one of Reed's friend's mom invite us over for a playdate at their house. Right next door, they were building a house and the kids loved it. This is what Lucas and Reed did on their play date....

30th bday dinner

For my birthday, Chris and I went to a very nice restaurant named Bad Balgach. The food was amazing and we had a fantastic time. We couldn't have had a better time.

Zurich, Nov.1st,2010

Since Chris and Reed had a three day weekend, we decided to do a day trip to Zurich since we hadn't been in awhile. We took the train, which the kids loved, and just did some shopping and relaxing. We were even able to sneak into a Starbucks for a coffee while Sophie was napping and have some quiet time while Reed ate a cookie and played with the iPhone. It was fantastic weather too so we really lucked out. We had a great time and it was just what we all needed.
