Happy Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving dinner with some friends that stayed in town. We definitely missed our families, but are looking forward to seeing them next month.

Cole played in a turkey bowl that morning, and then with Jaxon when he got home.

The Welch's were nice enough to host the yummy dinner.

Movember

Movember is an annual month-long event involving the growing of mustaches during the month of November. The event has been claimed to raise awareness and funds for prostate and testicular cancer, but also just an amazing excuse to look like a child molester. This month a few guys in Cole's section decided to join in on the fun, and lucky for me so did Cole.
Here is my creepy husband with his stache. He looked like he was straight out of the 70's, so we thought it would be fun to dress him up and take some pictures.

This is how children react to men with mustaches.

Girls Night Retreat

We had a fun girls night retreat in Rhode Island this weekend. Brennan Koch was nice enough to have twenty girls over to her parents home in Barrington, RI. Their home was beautiful and sat at the end of the peninsula - therefore the ocean view was amazing from the front and back yard. It was so much fun to spend time with all the cute girls here at school and a nice break away from the kiddo's.

This is the home across the street - and my dream home - so cute!

Say Cheese

I have been trying to teach Jaxon to say "cheese" and smile when I take pictures of him. Lately, depending on his mood he has been working with me. Here are a few pictures of him actually looking at the camera and smiling.
