dapper dan.


Gotta look good for Santa.
The Christmas prep begins.
Say it ain't so.

later fall.

We're going to miss you fall.
We're going miss...
Cold runs on the trail.
Really cold runs.
Fights over wearing jackets.
Making out with siblings.
Hanging with cousins.
Hanging with Mamas.
Hanging with best friends.
Hanging with John Travolta.
Hanging with gangstas.
Hanging with Frankie.
We're going to miss...
George as a houseguest.
Sipping coffee with Hads.
Kissing Auntie Sarah.
Lounging in bed with these knuckleheads.
And lunch dates with this knucklehead.
We're going to miss...
Using public transportation.
Drinking in public.
Watching the Hawks.
Avoiding bedtime.
Watching TV...awkwardly.
Laughing late into the night with this one.
Scaring people with this one.
And pig-piling on these ones.
We're going to miss...
Dance party's before school.
Jammies on the way to school.
And staying home from school.
We're going to miss sick days...
As much as hanging out in our underwear days.
Fall...you were good to us.

turkey day.

I didn't work this Thanksgiving (which is a miracle because I haven't technically had the day off in thirteen years...that's a lot of hospital turkey)...so we headed up to the cabin.
Which of course, was ridiculously fun.
Because anytime you get this group of people together...we shine.
Well, maybe we're not that great.
But we are super funny.
And that's worth its weight in gold.
Dull gold.

First we cuddled with Zaide on Turkey Eve...


And then we welcomed the peeps...
And then we knit...
And then we carved the turkey incorrectly...
And then we laughed...
And then we carved the turkey correctly...
And then we loved.

And then we gambled...


And then we had discussions...
about really important stuff.
Like Fireball.
And then we drank Fireball...



And then we took selfies...
And then we made Gingerbread houses...
And then we took things to a whole new level...
Telestrations meets Cards Against Humanity.
It was life changing.







And then we had side-aches.
And tears.



And then it snowed...
And then we made snow angels...





And then we threw snowballs...

And then we went sledding...

And then we googled...
And gobble gobbled.
It was a good day.
