Not so Traditional Thanksgiving

Our plans for Thanksgiving this year was to meet Mike and his girlfriend Shelly at Golden Corral. When we arrived at 12:30, the parking lot was full (we had to park in a field) and when we got up to the entry door the line was pretty long. So last minute, we decided to call Buca di Beppo to see about getting a table there, and they had room! The food was so much better and we even got a full turkey dinner, complete with turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans, and cranberry sauce. We topped it off with pumpkin cannoli for dessert. It was so yummy and way better than we had expected for an Italian place. The dressing was to die for the the mashed potatoes were so creamy!

Weekend's Best

Forgot to do my Weekend's Best yesterday, so here it is today!

From the mouths of babes

Thought I'd catch you up on some of the words our baby girl is saying...

• Uh-oh
• Wow
• wa-wa (water)
• bebe (baby)
• Hi
• ba (bear or bottle)
• Da (daddy)
• Mamamamama (mommy)

These are a few of my favorite things...

I've been thinking about posting some of my favorite things that I use daily or at least weekly.

One of those things is my Aveda Air Control hairspray. First of all, the salon I go to is an Aveda salon, so they sell all of their products. In turn, all the products I use in my hair and some of my lotions are Aveda. I also have Dan using Aveda (may not be his choice), but haven't gotten the girls on Aveda stuff yet. WAIT! Take that back, we use the "be curly" cream for Kenzie's hair and it's AWESOME for curly hair. Anyways, back to my favorite. I love their Air Control hairspray! It's a flexible hold hair spray and it smells as yummy as hair spray can smell. I actually don't mind spraying it! I've used it for years now and can't imagine switching to anything else!

Weekend's Best

One of my favorite blogger-knitter friends started the "Weekend's Best" on her blog every Monday. You basically post a picture that encompasses your weekend!

Big Weekend

This weekend was full of fun events! Brynn's first Taekwondo tournament was on Saturday morning, then it was running around and getting the final things for Kenzie's party done. Brynn did great at the tournament. It was more of a way to get the Tiny Tigers used to competing. She was a bit floppy as she did her form and she didn't seem very interested, but later on she told us it was because she was shy. Then it was Kenzie's birthday party at Gymboree Play and Music! All her friends had such a blast and Kenzie really enjoyed herself. I think she was overwhelmed with everything that she could do! The party was a success and I'm really glad we decided to have it there!
