Brin decided she needed to help Cade with his Cherrio snack. Notice the floor..she thought she would help him eat them faster in order to keep more from being wasted on the ground:) 
Brinly and Auntie Lynds having fun with the purple grandma pillow. Lynds is just sparking!
As you can see, Lyndsey is kindof liked by her nephces (as Ali has coined to mean, neices and nephews b/c the English language doesn't provide a word meaning both). Addie is such a doll. Just one question, why do they both have their mouths open?
Cade showing off to Grandma and Grandpa his silly smile. He truely thinks he is smiling and puts on this forced, scrunched up face and just grins at whomever he is communicating with. It's pretty funny! Auntie Katie must have given him few lessons in the pre-existance!:)
Good ol' Grandpa with Katie. He put up a good fight to have a good time while we were there, but still struggled. It was great to see him! Thanks for the wonderful company.Brinly's Favorite part of Thanksgiving:
This picture doesn't quite show the reality of how favorite this was! Brinly was constantly asking Lyndsey and, "what's that girl's name again?", Kendall to play dolls with her. Oh, it was so much fun!! Kendall and Lyndsey were such troopers playing along with her whenever. She hasn't forgotten!
Shane practicing his head and neck physical exam on Kathy...Jaydon is trying to figure out what is going on?! We had a good time at the Hulses on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. It was lovely to spend time with them. Brinly and Jaydon had a great time together, and didn't fight! Yippee!!
James, that is definately an interesting view!
What is that?
The first victim, James. He was very willing to let Shane practice on him. What a great sport!
Tamra's House:
Black friday, we spent the morning at Tamra's house doing various things. Our main purpose was to help her with the leaves in her yard.

As you can see, Brinly enjoyed the event. She kept asking where the big comb was...meaning the rake. Cute little mind, so very logical.
Gingerbread Houses:
That evening we had a great time making true blue gingerbread houses at Jay's house. It was a great time. Jay was busy making frosting for the rest of us decorating. Thanks to all her hard work, we enjoyed making a huge mess of sugar and candy. 
Ok, I know this seems pretty boring to some...but his is a major accomplishement for me!! I canned 21 quarts of pears on my own, while Shane watched the kids. We will be enjoying pears for a good long while:) I didn't burn myself until the very last little pint. Don't they look pretty!
This is my other accomplishment: Brinly's task chart. We spent a week trying to get this thing put together. We found stickers or clipart pictures laminated them and added velcro dots to them. She can put them on the ribbon when she completes the task. We also started a "behavior jar" as well, where she gets to put in a heart or star in her jar for good behavior and has to take one out for bad behavior. When it gets filled up, she can do a special something (whatever we designate). Anyway, exciting post, I know:)
