Thanksgiving Etc....

 Could not have asked for warmer weather then......of course, snowier weather......
 This picture of Spense & Kolt makes me smile :)
 
 Vi thinks the camera comes out and its time to make crazy faces (thanks Bray).  If only the future 16yr old Violet could tell the now 6yr old Violet how much she will regret these photos.
 I tried to get all of them to sit together for a picture, but 3 seemed to be the max I could actually get at once without, screaming, yelling, and crying----mostly done by me.
 See the pants he is wearing..... get used to them, you are going to see them in 4 different colors for the rest of the winter.  He has a very tantrum-based opinion about his wardrobe.  It sounds something like, "Mom that is berry awful, not those pants" accompanied by a furrowed brow, curled lip, and pants be hurled across the room.
 My sister and her lovely daughter trying desperately to have crazy hair while her mother tries desperately to fix it. 
 Crazy hair doubled.
 Another child who will regret many many photos......

 Cam LOVES to read, even Popular Mechanics with his Papa.
 The infamous Kid Table
Maybe next year Bray......
 Cam rethinking the 3rd helping of mashed potatoes
 Bray, include this picture in next year's plea to sit at the grown-up table.
 Tim's girlfriend Kris bought turkeys for the slaughter, delicious.
 The Turkey Bowl-A-Thon
 Kolt opted to shoot things (no money was used in any games) & bowl 3 frames total.
 He spun the ball many, many, many times and tried every finger til he got the right grip, technique is very important.
 Here is the snow!  60's the beginning of the week then inches of snow at the end of the week.  The kids were ecstatic!

 BACK HOME!  The new house in our house
 We now have a Wii thanks to some private donors. 
Mike thinks he can explain to a 3 yr old that he is swinging at the ball too soon.  Kolt thinks he is hitting the ball when he is actually pitching. 
 xmas arts and crafts 
 Vi wanted a picture of her and her dragon to put on her stocking (seen above). I thought maybe she would use this one of us.  Guess who didn't make the stocking? :(
Cam is going to be 1 yr old in a week and it seems like the year flew by and took forever at the same time.  He has been the best surprise of my life. Even when he is hanging on my pant leg while I attempt to cook or screaming at 1:00am.  He was meant to be in our family.  Nothing makes me happier than seeing Violet play peek-a-boo with him or Kolton kissing his forehead usually after knocking him down, but still. 
Cam gave all of us a reason to smile in the hardest year our family has faced, truly a gift.
