Being Thankful (again)

Emily was talking about a Thanksgiving card she had to give the family on Thanksgiving. I forgot about it and Emily remembered on Thanksgiving day while we were in Zanesville. She was quite upset that she couldn't give her card to the family because she had made it all by herself.

We got home late on Thanksgiving and didn't have a chance to remember the card and Emily finally remembered on Friday evening when we were sitting down to dinner and she ran upstairs and got it. It was cute ... had a hand print on the front that was made to look like a turkey and a lovely poem inside about how much she loves us.

We all gushed about it and told her how much we loved the card and what a great job she did on it. She accepted her praise and we continued dinner. As I was cleaning up, I happened to turn the card over and noticed a date written in my handwriting ... it said 11/2007. It took me a second to figure it out, but it appeared as if she has gone into her keepsake box and grabbed the card she made in kindergarten and re-gave it to us for Thanksgiving this year.

The ultimate in recycling.

Bon Voyage

Here is a cute video of Emily and Jack dancing on stage at the Bon Voyage party on the Disney Cruise. They got right in the middle of things and were having a ball. Emily is in the orange and white stripe shirt and Jack is to the left of her in the pink and navy shirt.

Halloween Fun

I wanted to share some pictures from Halloween. Emily went as Hannah Montana, Vinnie went as Captain Kirk. Kristen even dressed up as a baseball player to pass out candy. And Brian got into the action with is Spock shirt. It was a fun night! We don't have any pictures of Tony, but he was there. He passed out candy and had some friends stop by to help him out.
