Thanksgiving Day

On Thanksgiving Morning, Julie's family has a tradition where all the guys go out and shoot clay pidgeons. Thank goodness it was warner this year than it has been in the years past. This is a picture of Julie's Borther, Tim and his son Colby.

Julie's Uncle Blake who loaded the clay pidgeons for most of the morning.

Even the younger guys were shooting their BB guns.

There was a competition where everyone lined up to shoot.

A picture of Julie's cousin's husband, Brian.

Rod, Tim's father-in-law.

Scott, Julie's brother.
Chad, Blakes brother, and one of his Sons.

Gary, Julie's other cousin's Husband.

Billy was becoming quite the dead-eye. He even won a dollar for hitting one of the pop cans first!

Paul, Julie's sister Staci's husband.

Afterwards, a few of us went to Debbie and Blake's house (Julie's Aunt and Uncle). It was really relaxing and the food was great!

Billy enjoyed playing with Jadon despite the cold.

Drew grew attached to Uncle Blake and kept jumping on him after dinner.

I'm sure Blake thought it was a blast having a hyper 2 year old jumping on his stoumach right after Thanksgiving dinner! Drew sure enjoyed it though!

A few additional pictures of the baby.

Drew likes to hold Luke for about 30 seconds each time then he says, "Done Mama". It was a good Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Christmas Trees and Babies

We decided to put up the Christmas tree even though it is before Thanksgiving. We played Christmas music and the kids decorated the tree. Even Drew got in on the decorating.

Once we were done we realized we forgot to put the candy canes on the tree. They didn't stay on the tree for long!

I decided to put several pictures of Luke on due to many requests. We are still taking pictures, we just need to remember to put them on the blog.

As usual, every time we go to take a picture, Drew wants one taken also, so there are some pictures of Drew scattered throughout.

Drew kissing the baby.

Billy and Maggie enjoy holding Luke and it helps Mom out sometimes too!

Nothing more precious than a sleeping baby!

Drew after a long day of shopping and running around. He has overall been very good!

Drew also still wears this mask some days for the entire day!

Batman mask, Star Wars shirt, "Army Dude" gun, and a pink/purple milky... Priceless!

More Drew trying on Luke's hat that he got from my Aunt Candy. We love the hat by the way, Thank you!

I had to put this in to prove that I hold the baby sometimes too!

Luke getting ready for his first bath which took place today, 11-24-09.

Luke didn't mind the bath at all....

Until he started to get his head wet... Then he didn't like it so much.

Finally the bath is done and Luke is all ready to cuddle up to hi Mom.

We will continue to post pictures, hope you all enjoy these ones.
