Sorry for the delay in posting pictures. But, as you can imagine, our schedule has been very busy! Here is part 1 of the 72 pictures that I took on Thanksgiving Day. Nope, that does not include the 90 something that Great Aunt Diane took on Thanksgiving Night. Stay tuned for more.....
Happy First Thanksgiving Addie and Alex
Here is what Addie and Alex had for their 1st Thanksgiving Feast!
Addie: turkey, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, corn, and rolls.
Alex: mashed potatoes, rolls, and pumpkin pie
As you can see, Addie has switched to our "I eat Anything" where Alex is being a bit more picky......

Be sure and stay tuned for Kami's performance of the Turkey Song!

I don't know who was in trouble the most today with all of the cousins together! Here is mommy with Amanda and Kami....

Kami LOVES Addie and Alex!

Our Trip to the Old Neighborhood

Wednesday was a very crazy day! We started out by running a few errands. Then, we went to our old neighborhood and visiting June, our previous neighbor. Unfortunately, this was the first time that June had the opportunity to meet Addie and Alex. June's family lives in Huntsville and in our previous attemps to visit her, she was in Huntsville. We hope that she will come and visit us soon!

After trying many times to get a good picture, this was as good as it was going to get. Both kids were very tired and ready for a nap. Thanks June for trying to use our digital camera. We hope that you get a computer soon to follow our blog!

Dear June,

Thanks for letting us play at your house today! We had fun crawling all over your floor and with the turkey on the fireplace. We can't wait to see you again...

Tuesday Night Pizza

Welcome Jonny's Pizza!!!!!

On Tuesday night, we headed over to Jonny's pizza for dinner.

If you are looking for a great tasting pizza here, check them out!

They are located in the same plaza as Bandanna's BBQ and the new Pasta House.

During dinner, Addie and Alex were busy eating pizza and crackers. After dinner, they had fun visiting with great grandpa. We will add Jonny's to our list of places to frequent on our trips home.

No, this is not Jonny! But, this is great-grandpa holding Addie !

Thank Goodness for the Play Yard

There are many things that we are thankful for this Thanksgiving. One of them is the FAMOUS play-yard that you have seen in many of our pictures! For those of you with twins, I don't know how you manage without this lifesaver!

Just give me a few more months, and I WILL KNOW how to get out of here!

Thanksgiving Break Play Time

Thanksgiving Break Play Time

We arrived at grandma and grandpa's house on Monday afternoon.

Thank goodness we brought some of the play-yard as they are everywhere these days!

Addie loves to talk on the phone!

Addie and Alex the STL Cardinals Fans

WELCOME TO ST. LOUIS

We are in St. Louis for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Addie and Alex could not think of a better jacket to where the other night out to dinner with grandma and grandpa! Mommy and Daddy bought these jackets last fall before the babies even were born. They fit them perfectly now!

There is no such thing as getting both of them to sit still for a picture!
Go Cardinals!
I love my new jacket...

Alex is a big boy!

Sunday Fun at Our House

Today has been a crazy day with getting things ready for the Holiday week!
Addie and Alex found lots of things to do while mommy and daddy were able to get everything ready. Check them out in the video below!

Kids, Elmo and Sesame Street

Over the past few weeks as stores stock up for Christmas goodies, we have discovered how much the kids really like Elmo from Sesame Street. A few weeks ago we were in Sam's and there was the new Elmo Live doll. We played it and immediately the kids were in a trance. Since then, every time we go to a store we go by the toy area and look for Elmo. The kids just smile and laugh we the see him and he starts talking or singing. Since currently, the little ones don't have an Elmo doll, we have been showing them Elmo videos on You Tube. Here is a video taken this morning of Addie while watching the Elmo Video.

The next video is of a happy and relaxed Alex who was enjoying watching Sesame Street today.
The pictures that follow were taken right afterwards. The kids have figured out the camera and when they see it they stop doing what they were doing and stare at it or come towards it.

The final video is of the little one's playing together and as you will see I was spotted and Addie came to investigate.

Finally, here are some fall shots taken earlier this week out our back door. Good thing I took the pictures when I did because things don't look like this anymore :(

Addie and Alex's First Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Addie and Alex had a very exciting first Halloween. At first, we were not quite sure if we would take them trick or treating or not! But, since the weather was warm and they had warm outfits, we did take them out in our neighborhood. For only going to 8 houses, we were gone 2 hours! Of course, mommy and daddy will eat some of their candy this week!
In this picture, you can see how hard it was to keep their BEAR SHOES on!

Here is a picture from before trick or treating and we were already tired!

Mommy and Daddy did not take the stroller as the costumes were too bulky! Man, our backs were killing us when we got home as they are heavy to carry around for 2 hours!

Little Sister Bear!

Oh No! What are mommy and daddy thinking now?
