November 2013

November brings a lot of good things...Barrett Whitlows, Thanksgiving, rivalry football.  Here I am scouring the Joy of Cooking for a recipe for apple pie.  Don't worry.  I found it.

 And then I mushed the crust into the pan.  It was delicious.

 Playing at the park:

 Passed out after playing at the park:

 Here we are on Whit's birthday, making cupcakes!  Poor guy.  He had to make his own birthday treats.  Just kidding...that's our favorite part!

 He hates it when the whisk is licked clean.

 Sporting awesome bed-head:

 Helping Daddy install the new water filter under the sink:

I said to Daddy at one point, "This is hard work, but we are strong."

 This is how I like to play football in the house:

I also like to give Whit the football just so I can tackle him...those are the rules, right?

 Jumping in the leaf pile we made with Mommy:

 Deep thoughts with Duncan:

 Cheese!

 Lori gave us these awesome Brutus the Buckeye hats.  They are our favorite...meaning we will actually keep them on when Mommy puts them on us.  Whit calls him, "Boot-us" and like to snuggle him.

 Being outside makes us happy...

 More birthday party shots:

Whit loves to share dessert with Grandpa.  Whit likes the icing and Grandpa likes the cake...so we both get our favorite parts!  :)

 Celebrating birthdays with Nana and Grandpa:

 And the annual laundry room picture with Mommy on Whit's birthday:

 
As you can see, we love to cook and bake with Mommy.  Here we are checking in on the bread as it is being kneaded in the bread machine:

 Here I am reading to Whit.  Mommy heard me reading the book to him and sneakily snapped this shot.

Hope that you had a great Thanksgiving holiday...and that the Christmas season is filling you with joy!
