Xmas PJ pics!

December 21st, 2009

It’s time for a holiday pajama-jammy-jam!!! We put up our tree the weekend after Thanksgiving and ever since, Avery has been fascinated by the lights. Mommy had a few extra Xmas pj’s on hand, so we grabbed some shots for the blog.

Daddy’s Xmas girls…

The very first time Avery went for the lights, she used her index finger to point (normally she grabs, so this was another baby first!)… And now she points at everything! :)

Tricks n Treats!

November 2nd, 2009

This year we celebrated Avery’s first Halloween in style with some awesome Raggedy Ann and Andy costumes. Avery didn’t mind getting dressed up, however, it took her a while to get used to mommy and daddy’s new look. After putting our wigs on in front of her (several times) she finally figured it out, LOL! We also had a great time celebrating with our new friends (and soon to be neighbors) Todd, Leslie and Lauren Bazin. Since their house was not finished yet, we invited them over for dinner and maybe some trick-r-treating on our street.

Avery’s expression says it all… ummmm who are you people?!?

Avery really liked the decorations we used on our front porch. Here’s her spoooooky face!!

This was a great shot with Todd and Lauren. We hung out on the front porch taking pics and talking to neighbors, and ended up missing our window to walk the street! The girls got super hungry so we made some bottles and also fired up the grill for the big people. Our house had a few trick-r-treaters this year, however, there’s a ton of candy left over!

One last pic of Avery and Lauren meeting for the second time. Lauren is 2 months older than Avery, so Aves got to see Lauren’s excellent crawling technique in action!

Thanksgiving 2008

November 28th, 2008

This year Shelley and I spent Thanksgiving in Houston with my mom, dad, brother and his fiancee.  Mom and dad just bought a new house near their country club, so it was time to break in the new appliances!

Who said I couldn’t cook???

In the Clark household… the ladies RULE!
Left to right: Mom, Shelley, Robin

Mom and Dad try to figure out the new microwave. Sigh…

True to the Clark tradition, mom carefully extracts the stuffing. Yummy!

Dad poses with Tom (the Turkey)…

Let the carving begin!!!

Here’s what it looked like from Jakes view… Goood boy Jake!

Family (minus me) at the table!

Mom takes over on camera duty…

This year’s Thanksgiving was our best yet.  It was great to see David and Robin, as they flew in from St Louis, and was very cool to kick off the next generation of holiday celebrations at mom and dad’s new home in Hearthstone. Can’t wait for next year… maybe by then I won’t be so stuffed!!
