She was nervous about how wiggly her tooth was while eating her pear!
Mommy helped get it out later that night ;)
It wasn't so bad!
Thanksgiving:
Turkey brine: salt, sugar, oranges, lemons, and herbs
Our happy apple pie helper!
Relaxing while the turkey cooked
That's B under there playing the iPad.
This was our best turkey we've ever made!
This was a silly picture... Ben (usually) doesn't smile like that ;)
B's blinking, but this was the only one I took at dinner!
After a friend's recommendation, I picked this up from our local winery.
Our finished homemade apple pie! A&B helped cut out the fall shapes on top of the pie.
Home/Other:
Rudolph re-do BEFORE. We've had this Rudolph my whole life and always put our Christmas books in it. After all these years, he needed some TLC.
Rudolph AFTER. Ben helped me make new sides using his saw and router. I painted the whole thing (kept the antlers natural), new nose, tightened all the screws, and I have since added a new ribbon.
Got to FaceTime with this sweet girl while Grandma and Grandpa were babysitting! Sorry about the pic, Grandma ;)
Morning room is almost complete. My friends got me a wine rack for my birthday, so I got the matching one, and Ben filled them up for me!
Woke up to this view the day after Thanksgiving!
Over half of our old Christmas lights finally bit the dust this year, so we stocked up on new ones. Icicles on the gutter and railing, red lights on the pillars, green lights on the trees, and multi-colored lights on the bushes. We have plans for more in the future too ;)
Adding the star to the tree.
Butters: He's become a true member of the family. He's quite the lap cat, tolerates the girls really well, and is very well behaved for a kitten. We recently let him have full run of the house all night and he's handled that well, too, even taking turns sleeping with the girls. Brynn has had to kick him out "because he keeps taking my spot!" a couple times.
He sat here like this for a whole ten minutes watching me blow dry my hair.
He loves his "fort."
He always makes himself very comfortable for nap time in funny positions.
Ben and I got married in the summer of 2005 when we moved from Ohio and started our life together in South Carolina. We have since moved on to the Pittsburgh area. Brynn joined us in June 2008 and we added Adrienne to our family in June 2010. I am living my dream as a stay-at-home mom and Ben is an engineer.
