We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We have SO much to be thankful for!

I woke up to these sweet brothers..

My little Kings had his 1st Thanksgiving..

We had the most wonderfully delicious food..

My Mom is the best!

We had a toast to the newly engaged couple and I made my 1st ever fondant cake. It was so much fun ... and work.. and I learned a lot.

I can't wait to try another in a couple weeks for my little boy.

I hope you all have a wonderful week! I'm off to prepare the house for Grandma Mann's arrival!!

This boy had spaghetti for the 1st time.

Not really sure if the bib helped much at all.

Unlike Ezra, Kingsley is a huge fan of spaghetti.

FINALLY one of our children realizes he is 1/2 Italian!

Kingsley is representing!

My sister is engaged!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS

Jenna & Jason, I'm SO happy for you both!

Now let the planning begin.

can't stop thinking SEUSSY

as I plan Kingsley's birthday.

Things checked off the list:

plates,napkins,silverware,cups,tablecloth

grinch tote bags

funky, seussy decor

invitation (being made by Tony)

seuss t-shirts for the boys

big colorful lollipops (for the take home candy bar)

&

cupcake inspiration

I'm getting so excited and filled with ideas.

Can't wait to share pictures!

what could this mean?

(so sorry for the poor photo quality.. my camera phone STINKS)

We've made a countdown chain because Grandma Mann is coming to visit in only 14 days! She'll be here for 3 weeks and will get to be a part of Kingsley's 1st birthday!!

We've got lots of Christmas things to do while she's here!

see santa, decorate gingerbread houses, make cookies, have a faux christmas!!, and play lots of pounce. We're very excited if you can't tell!

Ps- Truthfully Tuesday will occur when I actually have something interesting to say. haha. I'm not going to post just to post on that day. Buh-bye readers!
