This Girl

Thanksgiving 2012...I've been lazy.

 I know I'm a little late posting these but I just wanted to make sure I documented our Thanksgiving this year.  We had my brother Travis and his family, the Carr's, and the Neitzel's over.   I can't believe I didn't get any pictures of the food.  Oh, it was good!

Family Pictures

 We recently had family pictures taken and I am finally getting around to post them.  My friend Jenn took them and she did such a good job.  I would definitely recommend her to anyone in central Pennsylvania!

I looked up mischievous in the dictionary and this is what I found...

mis·chie·vous  (msch-vs)

adj.

1. Causing mischief.

2. Playful in a naughty or teasing way.

3. Troublesome; irritating: a mischievous prank.

4. Causing harm, injury, or damage: mischievous rumors and falsehoods.

Lake Tobias

We took the kids to Lake Tobias on Saturday.  The weather was perfect and all the animals were out in full force.  I couldn't believe how interactive they let us be with the animals. 

We took the "safari" and the animals would come up to us and we could feed and pet them.

That is called a "hippie" cow on the right and below.  He was real cute.

The kids endlessly tormented those poor birds by chasing them.

Tiniest horse I've ever seen.  It barely can up to Brighton's hip.  Do you see that pile of green stuff around his mouth?  He was choking(true story), like REALLY choking for a long time.  Finally I decided to do something, and just as I was about to bend down to give him the heimlich he coughed all that stuff up.  

Addie pets an alligator.

 I found this note on my pillow the other evening after I put Brighton to bed.  How sweet is he?  His writing skills are amazing me every day.

I just can't help myself

Addie has been helping me plant my garden.  It was one of her favorite things to do last year, and she was so excited when we started planting this year.  Today while working in the garden she would pat the dirt after planting each seed, then she would say, "don't worry, I gave that one some love!"

Oh ya...by the way, we took her to get her ears pierced a couple weeks ago.  She didn't even flinch.  It was like nothing to her.  This girl will do anything for beauty.
