Happy Thanksgiving!

While Scott was up at deer camp Jaime and Nate stopped by on their way to a AC/DC concert on Sunday (sorry, don't know how to type a lightnening bolt...) and Sam happened to be fascinated with the old-fashioned egg-beater he had pulled out of the utensil drawer that day- his arms are just long enough!!
Then on Tuesday evening we headed out for Amherst for some bonding time with Mara and Mike who were up from Missouri for the Holiday and a baby shower for little RA Syring who is due to make his entrance in February.

I remember playing with the yellow car when I was little!




T-Day Snuggles




Annual T-Day walk through Rural Wisconsin (yes, that's the name of the town "Rural")

Happy Turkey Day Auntie M!

How many different expressions can you count?

Pretty necklace Auntie Mara!

Hugs for Great Uncle Roger!



Are you gonna eat that cousin Erik?



No, but it's MINE!



Auntie Stephanie!



Hey there cousin Elyse- what do you think of the grandkids bench?



We did the blindfolded teddy-bear-diapering competition...Mike was a very good sport.
I will post the video later unless he bribes me not to.



No no Auntie Mara, no snuggles!



Forced Bonding with Auntie Mara...



Waiting for Grandpa to get back from the barn...



I see him!!



Is that you Grampa?!



Sam finally gave in the last night we were at Gatfly and Grampa's and fell asleep in Grampa's arms while we watched "White Christmas." Poor little bugger was a litte off on his sleep pattern- the first night we were there he was up until about 2 (he slept almost the whole way there in the evening after we got done with work). But for the most part he was a very good boy and pretty much in good spirits most of the time- as long as we keep him fed and with a clean diaper! We wish the same for Mara and Mike with their little one, and we know they will be great parents. Good to see you!!!
