Friendsgiving

We enjoyed a fun Thanksgiving with our dear friends. Here's Jeff carving his smoked turkey and brisket. How lucky are we to have such great friends that can cook up a storm??
Mmmmm….delish!
Marin and Oliver enjoying a little pre-dinner conversation!
Trudy's ready to eat!
The 'bump.'
Jason got the kids Elmo cupcakes. Non-traditional for sure, but when you're 3 the rules don't always apply!
Oliver actually ate the top AND bottom of his cupcake...
while his girlfriend only ate the frosting! Go figure!
Gobble! Gobble!

Photo Op Gone Bad

Over Thanksgiving weekend, we went to the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony at Macy's in the Domain.
Bad. Idea.
It was so packed, we could barely push our way through the crowd. We ended up in front of a much smaller tree to try to get a picture of Marin in her Christmas dress, but that didn't happen either. We called it a wash and went out for dinner and ice cream.
I'm officially 9 months preggo here!

Dino Day at Children's Museum

We've been trying to squeeze in as many activities as we can with Marin before the baby arrives. We had a fun day at the Children's Museum with a few friends and some very big creatures!
Sitting in a dino nest with her friends.
Sitting on a dino egg to see if it will hatch!

This was her favorite activity-Parachuting Pigs using a pulley system.

Exploring with gears...
Digging for dino bones!
Playing with lots of different dinos...
Kissing all of her favorite dinos 'good-bye!'

Big Sister Class

This weekend Marin attended a 'big sister' class at our hospital.
She learned how to change a diaper, feed a bottle, give a binky and toured the nursery/labor/delivery/recovery areas.
I'm not sure how much she learned, but I think it was a good idea for her to see where we would be after the baby comes so she knows what to expect!
Super Cheese...
Our class...

Even Daddy got a little extra practice! He's a natural!

Receiving her 'Big Sister Certificate' from Nurse Pauletta!
Only 6 weeks to go and this big sister will be showing off her skills!
