Thanksgiving in Henderson

We had our Thanksgiving feast with Michael, Lea, and Mazy Thursday afternoon. My favorite is always the yams and apples casserole and Lea's rolls from her Aunt Gabby's recipe! I tried the rolls' recipe Saturday and they were yummy again. Now it's Sunday and we are still enjoying all the leftovers.
Rob and I were crazy and got up for the 5 and 6 am specials on Black Friday. Let's just say we scored on a few big items, so it was worth the lost sleep :) Michael, Lea, Mazy, and I went shopping later and found much of what we were looking for.




This will be Mazy's Christmas dress!

of things:) Hmmm.. you can't see the spot where the first
tooth is ready to break through!

Hope everyone out there had a great Thanksgiving. We are so grateful for our many blessings!

Halloween 2009

Wow, St. Louis weather was really enjoyable for Halloween weekend - mild and sunny. Mike and Lea planned a party and these were their living room decorations. Lea made bats, I blew up balloons, and Michael draped the crepe paper. On the top shelf where you see little orange twinkle lights were Grandpa McEwan's dental school skulls he gave to Michael to study anatomy. They were a big hit, especially with the orthodontic students who came!

Mazy loved putting her mouth on the balloons and babbling!


Lea made Mazy's spider costume.


Mazy was the spider and Mike and Lea were the web!


Tuckered out :)


We all enjoyed Lea's soup, home-made rolls, and "brain" cupcakes! Yummmm!
