Thanksgiving Weekend & A Snow Day

Well, this is the first black Friday weekend in years that I have not started and finished my Christmas shopping. It makes me a little panicked, but we had SO much fun! Friday, we hung out at home and enjoyed a day off and then that afternoon, I went to try to find an outfit for Cary's work Christmas party - with little success, I might add. I know it's only been nearly 3 months since Carter was born, but it is a bit of an ego blow to try on clothes and not have them look the way you feel they should. Oh well. It takes time, I suppose. Then we headed to the outlet mall to shop around a bit with my folks. We found some great deals - especially at our Banana Republic outlet that had everything marked 50% off of the lowest prices. I got 5 different shirts for less than $12 each! So excited. Then we all headed to our place to have chili and watch a movie. We watched "Then She Found Me." Great movie if you're looking for something to see...

Saturday, we got up and met my parents at this place called Little Monkey Bizness so the boys could play. It's sort of a jump house place, but it's for kids 6 and under, so it's perfect for our boys. They had so much fun!

We got some snow, so first, Caden helped Cary shovel the drive. Evidently, it was very serious work.






We hardly got any pictures of Carson at LMB. Evidently he was too busy... almost every pic we took was incredibly blurry.

Carter, of course, spent much of his time like this:




We got more snow yesterday and last night, so the boys headed out to enjoy some of it this morning. Here are our first snow pictures of the season. It's weird to think that Carter will be out there running with Carson and Caden by next year.

You are just gorgeous! I love your hair; are you growing it long again? Cute necklace, too! The snow is beautiful, but it makes me cold just looking at it. Right now I am freezing, and it was only in the fifties today! (Incidentally, I am wearing one of Roy's warm pullovers because none of mine will go over my belly anymore. Ugh.)

I am so jealous with all that snow!!! You will have to send us some this way for Christmas. LOL that's what I tell my family in IN each year and it never happens. The kiddos are adorable as always! I love the snow suits.
