Santa, please to meet you...

We had our first visit with Santa!  My baby did awesome.  He sat like a good little boy and let us take his photo.  Scrumpy was not as agreeable, but then again since his first visit to Santa he has never seemed to enjoy the tradition.  I wonder what he asked for.  I hope he asked for diapers....

Turkey Day

This was Possum's first Thanksgiving and officially his first holiday gathering where we hustle from family to family.  Like most things that he does, he handled it very well, going with the flow.  I look forward to this time each year becuase I get to take my traditional turkey platter photo.  The origins of this tradition date back 2 years ago.  At Scrumpy's first Thanksgiving, I made note that he weighed as much as the turkey we were cooking.  That thought inspired the photo of Scrumpy on the turkey platter, much to Gramma's dismay.  Getting ready to go to Gramma's, I remembered this tradition, and was looking forward to the photo shoot.  Yes, it is probably a very good thing I did not have girls. 

After Grammas, we headed to Nana and Papa's.  He spent some quality time with Tink before dinner and then a brief photo shoot with Scrumpy.  I think we were more exhausted than the boys.  All in all, a great day!  Awesome food, time with family, healthy babies...who could ask for more???

           

This is BEAR territory

Patrick's birthday happened to land on BIG GAME day.  For those of you not familar with the term, it is the big game between Cal and Stanfurd.  Getting ready to celebrate with a Crossett family outing, Patrick pulled out his "birthday sweater".  Note, this sweater was blue, cream, grey, and white.  I promptly informed him that today the family would be wearing blue and gold.  He had the option to wear red, but then he would have to walk on the other side of the street.  By the way, the better team won....
