First Big Snow

It started to snow early this morning. We headed out before lunch. It was pretty warm out and a really wet snow! But good enough for us. We got out the shovel and the sled. We went around the block twice...a good workout for me and Andrew loved it when I ran while pulling the sled! Then the neighbors came out and started to build a snowman. That's when Brian and I switched. I'll post the finished snowman tomorrow!

I wanted to take his picture and he replied, "Momma I have to do some work."

Spartan Basketball Game

We took Andrew & Audrey to their first Spartan basketball game at the Palace. MSU played OU and only won by one point! Good thing we had aisle seats by the exit. Andrew enjoyed walking up and down the steps. It was a home game for OU so I was disappointed that Sparty and the band did not come. Andrew kept looking for Sparty...he gave up and had to search for the Grizzlies. Audrey wore her new Sparty bow...it was a hit with the fans next to us. She fell asleep after the half.

Cheese Face

Tree Glasses

Santa Elf (name for Elf on the Shelf) dropped off these Christmas Tree glasses today. Andrew thinks they are so funny and when he puts them on he says "You're green!"

Decorating the Tree

It's time to decorate the tree....pictures of the completed tree to follow. First things first...Andrew had to put the candy canes on first! You can tell he decorated all in one spot! And Audrey was sitting close to watch and she just helped herself to a little treat as well!

New cheese face...

All in one spot!

7 Months Old!

Tomorrow Audrey will be 7 months old. I made this hat over the Thanksgiving break....I just need to add the tie. So while we were getting dressed I decided to try it on and take a few naked photos of all of those rolls!

Elf on the Shelf

Tomorrow, the Elf will be waiting on the Shelf (mantel). According to the book, if Andrew is "good" then the elf will fly to chat with Santa every night and come back and hide in a new spot every morning. He's kind of creepy looking in this picture!

Cutting Down the Tree

Today we headed out to cut down Audrey's first Christmas tree! It was cold but we had a great time. Andrew loved the horse drawn ride out to the trees.

Audrey getting bundled up!

Brian's new hat

One of the horses names was Marty...which is what we always call Andrew Martin!

Thanksgiving at Grandma Ruth's

Today we went to my grandma's for Thanksgiving. I didn't take many pictures. Hopefully I will add more to this when I get some from my cousin. Andrew entertained himself with random things from my grandma's. But he really loves to play with Jackson and Allison. When we got home I asked him what his favorite part of the day was and he quickly responded "Allison." He just loves her!

Thanksgiving at the Hull's

We spent Thanksgiving Day at the Hull's house. It was nice to be with everyone and eat the first turkey dinner....tomorrow we go to Grandma Ruth's.

Baking Sugar Cookies with Grandma

Andrew was very excited to roll out turkey sugar cookies with grandma! And then when the frosting came....well he liked to have many, many "little tastes."

Royal Oak Thanksgiving Parade

We walked down to the Thanksgiving parade this morning. Andrew loved it!

Zoo

Today we met our friends Dan, Mary, Matt & Gwen at the zoo. It was so nice!

Matt & Andrew chatting about the ducks.

The hippo's water was drained from his normal spot...so it was fun to watch him munching on leaves!

Halloween Jammies

Andrew likes to wear his holiday jammies...well after the holidays. So Happy Halloween!
