Pre-Thanksgiving 2011

Here are the pictures from our Pre-Thanksgiving festivities! The pictures were mostly taken by my dad and a few by me. As always, we had a wonderful time and delicious food! Terry does an amazing job with the menu every year. My mom and Dad traveled from Ohio to be with us on this super ultra important holiday that the Tainows have embraced. I was beaming with happiness that I could share this experience with them. Our first Thanksgiving together in 10 years. My mom made these fabulous Turkey aprons for all the cooks in the house. And yes, there are many! She even made two special tiny aprons for the kids! Here are some of the highlights.















Doing some light reading…with a small dogs glasses


Go fish!




These two were pretty inseparable all night. Toilet water tea party anyone? Caroline? Emily?


My dad worked really hard on trying to have a pretty complete family tree for the Tainows and Willners. Here Nancy and Gilda are trying to fill in some of the blanks.


The annual Thanksgiving day cooking of the bacon….outside of course!

my girl

yes, she dressed herself for bed but she didn't look like this when we put her to bed. She added the slippers. She also added the pants. which means she took off her shorts. Put on the pants. Put back on the shorts. Love that girl.

Hard work, paid off

Can't WAIT to use these babies!

OCD?

I gave them a plate of fruit. Millie ate it like this.

Milo separated all the fruit and ate his like this. OCD?

dark ride home

Our rides home from school have become a bit...darker...

Millie was in the 3rd row of our so you can hardly hear her. Turn your speakers up!

Dancing/Singing

Might want to turn your speakers DOWN for this one!

Happy Birthday Katie!

Q is for Quinn

Dance Class

Millie took her first dance class this week. When I asked her about it on the ride home, she wanted to wait till we got home for me to see what she learned. I am still not sure I know what is learning.

Homecoming Weekend

I am behind and it's a little overwhelming. Honestly, I am trying to catch up but it's not easy. Hang in there family and friends!

This past weekend we went to Gainesville to celebrate Florida's Homecoming. This was the first parade for the kids and they loved it! It was so fun to watch them, watching the parade.










Millie went to her first Gator game.


But first we went to the Gator Walk




then we saw the band




then we headed over to the Alumni events




then went over to meet the cheerleaders and dance team. she was a bit star struck hence "the face"








and then finally, FINALLY, got to meet Albert and Alberta




Followed up by the actual football game time in the Champions Club

Movember

M & M doing their part for Mo & Movember...http://bit.ly/veSXNb. Millie is wearing "the Scoundrel" and Milo is wearing "the Bandit". Fitting.









For the record...they are actually wearing the stick on mustaches given to me by Matthew Mochow! They will do just about anything for the rare juice box!
