RECAP…

I busted out the crafty in me and made up some Thanksgiving shirts for my foursome.  The kids loved them and they looked cute for the Holiday. 

And a picture of Max, sporting the oh, so typical “Max Face”

Oh, wait, this one is even better:

We feasted divinely in St. Clair with my parents, Uncle Alex, Great Grandpa, and the Shaune family.  The elongated table was set elegantly, even with little wine glasses for the children!

We laughed, talked, lounged, indulged, watched football, were merry, and thankful.  All the necessities of Thanksgiving!

At home we decorated.  We splashed Christmas to every corner available, crafted, and baked and immersed ourselves in continuing days of Roehrig Togetherness.

Our Christmas Village was brought out to be turned into a parking lot for matchbox cars.  In the evening I could pick them up, but they add a certain quality to the set up.  It’s a we-have-a-little-boy-in-our-midst quality and I like it that way.

Friday evening the warm weather was beckoning and we decided to head to the zoo and see the lights on display.  The crowd was overwhelming, but the beauty of millions of lights made for an enjoyable time.

Violette was successfully potty trained and Zane became a full time walker.

The girls skillfully applied makeup and Zeus showed us once again that he is a very understanding dog.

It was good, all five days of it.  When Sunday evening came there was a sadness upon the house.  No one wanted Noelle to head back to school or Daddy back to work.  We count down, with great anticipation, to Christmas Break and we are back together again.
