Pre-Thanksgiving party

This is our baby Cambry's giggle face. She sounds like a choo choo train and thinks she's so funny, which she is naturally.

Seriously! Why do kids love playing with garbage more than toys? Cambry was entertained with this crinkled paper strips in the bottom of a gift basket for a half hour (and if you know how busy she always is that's a LONG time!) Her favorite toys include cardboard boxes, ripped out pages of a magazine, and fluff balls she can pull out of the carpet.

Oh my gosh! Isn't she just the cutest!?! I can hardly stand it!

Last night we had early Thanksgiving dinner at my parents' house and afterward we kept the tradition alive and made gingerbread houses. Thanks the Beck and Greg for a great time!

Here are the finished products (sorry Jamey and Michelle- you left w/ your house before I took a pic of it!). Jamey and Michelle tried for several minutes to get 2 gingerbread men to perch on the roof, but the stubborn guys kept tipping over. Jess and Mert's is equipped with a satalite, chimney and a front porch. Good work w/ the cardboard creations Mertle. Marg's and Jordan's is fantasticly creative even with Jordan getting in the way ;) Mine and Devin's house is still standing and we feel pretty proud about that. Cambry tuckered out early after making us pay for missing her naps by "singing" at the top of her lungs much of the evening. Just another day in paradise.
