A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!

Teagan and I spent a wonderful Thanksgiving with Muriel, Jerry, Sophie and Muriel's Parents (Ted & Debbie), at their Lake House in Door County, Wisconsin. We had such a great long weekend, lots of relaxing, shopping and hanging out with the girls. Debbie made a delicious Thanksgiving dinner! This is definately the time of year to be thankful for great friends and family...

WHAT A FUN DAY!!

I hosted a children's discovery toys party on Saturday, we had so much fun! The kids got to play with all the cool toys which made it much easier to decide what to buy!! I served a yummy Veggie Lasagna, salad and fresh french bread for lunch - which was delicious! It was really fun afternoon - hanging with the girls!

I am so excited! Thanksgiving is on Thursday - for all my South African friends and family... this is a Traditional North American Holiday to give thanks at the conclusion of the harvest season. It equates to over stuffing yourself with Turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, apple pie, pumpkin pie and whatever other yummy dishes you can think of to serve!! Teagan and I were invited to spend the Thanksgiving Holiday with Muriel and her family in Door County, which is just beautiful! I can't wait, Muriel and I are driving up with the girls on Wednesday and coming home on Sunday! I will definitely post pics on Monday!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTY MIKELE"!!

DOUBLE DATE...

Friday night was soo much fun!! I went on a double date with Muriel & Jerry, we went to this really cool wine bar called 'Flight', had a great dinner, copious amounts of red wine and laughed so hard I was crying!! As you can probably tell from the pics, the red wine was flowing a little to freely.... So we'll see if there is even a date #2!! LOL

I LOVE THE FALL!

I love this time of year... The weather is cooler, the leaves are changing color and of course it's yard work season!! So let me preface this with the fact that I completely despise yard work, the odd planting here and there fine, but hardcore yard work = YUCK!! So needless to say, I am having a Discovery Children's Toys Party on Saturday and need to clean up the leaves... So Miss "T" and I raked and played in all the leaves we could find!! Teagan had the best time "helping" Mommy clean up the yard. She is such a "big" girl and just a wonderful kid!

We were driving home yesterday (Sunday) from Austin's Baptism (Nicole's youngest) and Teagan just starts yelling at the top of her lungs, so I turn around to see what the heck is going on, and she just starts cracking up - we laughed at each other for about 15 mins! It was the cutest moment ever!
