Gobble gobble...and let the season begin!

Wow, Thanksgiving came and went in a blink! How does this keep happening?

The festivities got started on Tuesday when David had his special Thanksgiving Feast at school. I went to help out, which made it possible for me to also see their cute little performance. He has such adorable little classmates. They are all so sweet and happy. I think their teacher is to thank for that though. She is really kind and gentle with a great sense of humor. When they do something well, she says, "Kiss your brain!" She's just really a warm person, and David loves her! I am so happy that David's first year of school has been so positive. I have been getting great feedback on his performance both academically and socially, and it warmed my heart on Tuesday when I introduced myself to another mom and she said, "Oh, David! My son talks about him all the time!" (I assume she meant in a good way! LOL!) Seriously though, David is great at making friends, and I am just so happy that he is so happy.

Here is a picture of him up on stage with the other chiefs and pilgrims.



and here is the little cutie that David has a major crush on! He is such a little romancer! She looks more like she should be a California Girl....maybe that's why he likes her so much! He comes home and has something to say about her every day. He even made her a little heart ring out of Floam!


Thursday we had a nice dinner at Aunt Lynn's and just hung out...

Friday we went shopping.
Let the season begin now! Here they are with Santa Claus already!!!


Yep...December is breathing down our necks already! When we drove up after shopping, David squealed with delight. While we were gone, Daddy was busy, and we returned to the wonderful surprise of our house lit up with color. That made me so happy because I just can't describe how excited David and Sam were to see the sparkling lights of our house!



Have a good weekend!

This is for...

You....and you know I'm right! Why? Because there is a little white and nerdy person inside of us all, right? I can think of at least one thing that applies to each of you! ha ha ha (And me too, of course! Do I like Kirk, or do I like Picard? And how many times did we go to Renn Faire?

11/17 Random Acts of Cuteness

Riding in the car:

Samantha: "Mommy! I want to hear Love Shark!"
(You know, that popular song by the B- 52's, "Love Shark, Baby!"

-------------
At BJ's (like Costco) membership service desk the kids were waiting there when along came this cute little boy that looked like David when he was little. I also thought he looked like my in-laws's neighbor Quentin. He was hugging Samantha when I heard his dad say, "Say hello to David and Samantha!" It was Quentin!!! He is the spitting image of David! Too funny! Later as we walked away Samantha said,
"I like Quentin, but he is having a bad hair day! His hair is not good today!"

--------------
David spent some birthday cash at Target and we promised Samantha something too. For 9.99 she got this little baby doll with all kinds of accessories. Later at home, she is talking about how she is going to be a good mommy. Its little hat came off and Samantha asked for help. I said, "If you are going to be the baby's mommy, you will have to take care of this yourself." She said, "Yeah, but I'm just a little mommy!"

The Big Birthday Weekend

David turned 6 on Friday the 10th, and the whole weekend was non-stop party! That's the way to do it, right?

Friday he got this hat from his teacher and he wore it all day!

After school he went over to my in-laws to open presents and have cake.

Later that evening we went to see Princess Wishes (Or something like that. It happened to be what was in town this time, and we thought Samantha would enjoy it.) Though she did enjoy it, David had his eyes glued to it the whole time! So it wasn't lost on him. He had fun too!




We had dinner at Red Robin where David got a yummy birthday sundae. Then we went back to my in-laws' house for more candles, cake and visiting.

Samantha was in charge of putting the candles on, but yes, David is only six.

Saturday was more playing and a couple more surprises for David...leading up to

Sunday and his party!!!
This was the invitation that we sent out...


It was a rainy day, but all of the invited guest arrived with smiles on. We started out at the movie theater enjoying "Flushed Away"! It was hilarious and cute! A wonderful way to spend a rainy day -- laughing and eating popcorn with friends. We then hopped across the street to a local pizza buffet where we had pizza, cake, and presents.


David has such sweet little friends...all very nice and cute. We had a great time!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAVID!!!!!
