Thanksgiving 2008

We spent Thanksgiving out at Tony's Grandparents' place. The day was full of food, sledding, visiting, football, snowman making (Cole's first), and more food. It was like we were all kids again...so much fun.

Getting ready...

We are getting ready for Christmas and pulled out the decoration box. Cole thought this hat was pretty funny...

Snow!!!

Our first real snowfall! We were all very excited as it blustered and accumulate a whole 2 inches. Cole has been having fun making footsteps in the snow and falling on the ice.

A Quilting Frolic...

It may not sound fun to some of you, but let me tell you, quilting frolics are a BLAST! This past weekend, my sister, Christy, and my cousin, Miranda, went up to my Aunt and Uncle's, Lisa and Randy's, for a quilting frolic. A couple of my Aunt's friends joined us so it was quite the party! AND we actually got one mostly finished! Take a look at all the fun we had..... We started out the night before at the local bar....This picture's special for Lisa :)
Randy, are we that boring?? The morning after the bar....UGH! Let the quilting begin! Cutting...More cutting...
And still more cutting.

Thank goodness we had awesome food and beer!

Miranda and Julie sewing...Bonnie harrassing me.Hey, I can sew!

More ironing...
After 11 hrs and 5 women working, the beautiful masterpiece is finally complete. Well, kind of...who knew you still need a back!

A special thanks for my Aunt Lisa and Uncle Randy - they made being in a cabin in the middle of nowhere fun and exciting!!!

Tony's Birthday Weekend!

We celebrated Tony's birthday this past weekend in Door County at Cote Cottage. Our time was filled with windy, freezing weather, football, beautiful scenery, and lots of fun at Mr. Helsinki's...Tony and his Dad, Glen Navis, played music and I got to be the bartender! It was a fun-filled weekend for us all...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONY!!!
