What We've been Up To

So.... hello. Did you notice I have been gone for five entire days?

No? That hurts.

Turns out our Thanksgiving break just sorta took on a life of it's own, and I just never found time to blog. The sad thing is that even with four (yes four) family Thanksgivings, I managed to take basically zero family pictures. I did take a bunch of random non-family/ non-holiday pictures though. And I figure what with me being missing for FIVE DAYS from the world wide web, you must at least sorta want to see so of those. Right? RIGHT?

Here we go. Lets start strong.
Thanksgiving Weekend 2011
Henry wanted to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving by showing off his new love of gloves. He wants to wear them. ALL. THE. TIME. He looks like a soccer goalie(This is one of my favorite pictures ever.)

Here is one of me and Nick at my parents house before the 21 family members (not photographed) ate a delishious meal. I think the look on my face is odd. Not bad, just odd. Like I look like I have a secret.

What else do we have here.... Oh we did this on Friday!
Thanksgiving Weekend 2011
All Christmas decorations are officially up in the Bio Girl house hold. Almost all Christmas shopping is also done, which I am pretty proud of. I went out on Black Friday, shopping from midnight until 5am. Yeah. That was something.

At Thanksgiving with Nick's dad we broke out the XBox Kinect. As you can see, the boys really enjoyed it. As did all of the adults. Especially the "free style dance".

Moving into the more random events of the weekend, MY KINDLE ARRIVED! You all, I am so damn excited about this thing. I love it already.

Not only mama did some reading over the long weekend. Henry set aside a little "me" time as well with a good book.

At one point during the weekend we did this too. Good times.

I seem to be out of pictures, but just trust me. It has been exhausting. And perfect. Hope your holiday weekend was as wonderful as ours.

  2. Of course we noticed and missed you, especially those of us in the UK who don't celebrate Thanksgiving so weren't preoccupied by our own celebrations ;) Good to see you back!

    I love the fact Henry has a little armchair to sit and read in, how cute is that? Oh and his dancing, and his gloves, and well everything. That boy is just too darn cute.

    Way to go with the Christmas prep. I have been nagging Tim to get our Christmas stuff out of the loft for a good week now but he still hasn't done it so our house remains undecorated. But not for long. And I have pretty much bought all the kids' presents, but not so much the adults in the family so I really need to get cracking. Cannot believe how organised you are!

  3. I envy that your Christmas shopping is almost done, mine has yet to begin! Sounds like a great Thanksgiving week, but I cannot imagine splitting it between four family dinners! Sounds like a lot of food!
