Baby, It's Cold Outside

Enjoying some time indoors...

He was waiting on these.... 

Mmmm...smores!

Gobble, Gobble

We had a great Thanksgiving out in Pecos with the Dominguez/Davidson/Forrister bunch. Lots of food, family and fun times were had by all.

David's brother, Daniel, his wife, Syndi and Grandma working on the food prep.
I am quite sure I drove them nuts taking photos...I was messing around with my camera and trying to figure out how to take photos out of the auto mode.

Great Grandpa carving the turkey.

Cousin Elena, Thumper and Jonathan playing in the backyard.

Aunt Arly and Cousin Nathan

Ema is following in Grandma's footsteps....a cup of tea and quilting kept her busy all morning.

Jonathan waiting on his turkey....

The Spread...lots of yummies as usual!

The never-ending table! How fun, huh?

From the other end...

Everet wasn't too keen on Grandpa moving his sippy cup! Um...within arm's reach, please.

Nathan enjoying a little bite of turkey.

After dinner, several of us played several rounds of Dominoes

This morning we headed out to Barstow to tell everyone bye.

Great Grandpa explaining to Jonathan that two was only two fingers...not four.

Preschool Fall Program

The boys' had a big day at preschool on Thursday. Although, I didn't make it to school during the day to make it to their "Sharing Feasts" (I was recovering from that stupid bug), I have had many reports that great fun was had by all. Each child in their classes brought something special to share with everyone for lunch. Benjamin was particularly excited that someone in his class brought cheese! Hey, whatever it takes, right? They both came home with lots of cute turkey crafts and fun memories of their day.

I did feel much better by the evening and we all pulled it together to make it to their Fall Program. Jonathan was a bit of a ham on the stage:

Here he is waving at Benjamin's class in the audience.

Here's where he realized I was sitting on the floor taking pictures. 

I was just glad he didn't run down the stairs to me!

He did decide to perform with his class a bit, too.

Singing The Cow Song

Benjamin was kind of buried in the four-year-old classes on stage so I didn't get the best photos of him....

you can see his head poking out in the middle.

He's still in there!

Yay for Bennagins!

And, I guess I am not the only bad videographer in the family (as I certainly learned from the EHS Choir incident). Although he did have a bad lighting situation on his hands, David is right up their with me on video skills. Jonathan's taping was *somewhat* watchable. Benjamin's however didn't turn out at all. : (

I guess we'll be purchasing the one the school made!

I know not everyone will want to watch the entire thing, but if you have a few minutes, here is Jonathan with the two year olds:

Last One Standing...

Hi Everyone, David here!

Please pray for Kristi, as she is down with what we hope is a quick bug. First, it was Benjamin. Then, a day or two later, it was Jonathan. Now, just today, it's Kristi.

I'm the only one who hasn't gone down, and I'm going to try and keep it that way!

Everyone out there, take care and stay well.

Get well soon, Kristi!

Love you!
