Black Friday - Here We Come!

Claire enjoyed her first "Black Friday". This is the two of us fighting our way through Target. It was great! We had a nice day shopping around and getting some really great deals. We celebrated our savings by driving through McDonalds for a DP for Mommy and a small fry for Claire bear. When we got home, we put on some Christmas music and decorated the tree. This will be Claire's first Christmas and we can't wait to share the JOY of the LORD with her!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today was Claire's first Thanksgiving. We enjoyed a yummy feast at our friends' Rocky and Suzanne's home. Martha Stewart...I mean Suzanne set a beautiful table for all her guests to enjoy. She even took care of the turkey, along with a few other favorites. We each brought a side item or two to share. Everything was soo yummy! We then moved the party into the livingroom where we watched Elf and looked through the Black Friday ads. It was great! Here are a few pictures to share our Thanksgiving in Louisville. Tomorrow we'll put up the tree and see how long it takes Claire to knock it over! :)

Happy Halloween!

Claire celebrated her first Hallween yesterday, and what a fun day that was. First we started the morning off with pumpkin muffins for breakfast. I dressed her in her pumpkin "costume" because it does double nicely as warm outside coverup. We then went for a long walk. After a nap and play time with her real pumpkins, we dressed up again and went trick or treating. Our first stop, Rocky and Suzanne's. Then we went up Hillcrest that was more than packed with trick or treaters. I think the most popular costume this year was spiderman. And of course they were mostly little skinny 5 year olds with big fake muscles. Hilarious! The houses were decorated in everything from spiders, ghosts, charlie brown characters, cemetaries, smoke and music. WAVE 3 news was even there. One family said they gave out 3,000 pieces of candy last year! It was quite an experience. Here are a few pictures to share our fun day.
