HAPPY BE-LATED THANKSGIVING....

We hope you and your family are having a wonderful thanksgiving weekend. We are having a nice relaxing time enjoying the holdiay. We are thankful for so many things in our lives and it is always nice to have a day set aside to remember those things. We actually had our thanksgiving meal yesterday.....it was delicious!!! My mom came over for the day and helped us get our meal ready!!

So, that means today is decorating day!! (which makes the kiddos very happy!!!). We did get a little snow this weekend....just a couple inches or so...not a blizzard which is nice. The girls LOVE going out in the snow. We hope you guys are enjoying your weekend as much as we are. Here are some pics from the past few days.

Taylor helping Grandma get the BIG turkey ready!!! She took this job....very seriously....it was great!

Daddy enjoying some time off and playing a game with his girls!

Is there anything better than......

Than Ohio State BEATING Michigan at the big house??!!! I don't think so and these little ones don't either. We had a two year old birthday party today DURING the game.....so i didn't get to go to the OSU-MI party till the very end, but the kids were a big hit when they walked in in their team outfits. And when asked who they were rooting for....they said "Go Buckeyes":) That was much delight to the of all the buckeye fans!!! And when Maddie was presented with the choice of blue and yellow jelly beans or red or white jelly beans.....she thought about it with her finger on her chin and then said "i only like red"! Such delight:)

Go Buckeyes!!

Pluggin Along..

No blogging...no real "news" i guess. Things have been pretty routine around here lately. Don did have a follow up doctors appointment with his cardiologist who has now given Don a report that his heart is healthy and functioning well. This was a good report and brings much relief to us as we move forward with some more testing. Our next step in this process is Don visiting the pulmonary specialist next Wednesday.

The girls are doing good....keeping Mommy busy and insane;) hey, they are 3 and 4...this is my year to be insane!!!! We are about to enter the world of programs and performances with our girls......Taylor will be having a Christmas program for school ....the report from Taylor is that she is the "ANGEL". HA...i had a good laugh with that one. The next performance coming up is both girls performing a Christmas Ballet. This should be interesting...with Maddie being the youngest one....the ages of the ballet girls is 3-6 so it should be entertaining. I do think that it will be weird to see them up there on the stage...although with the outgoing personalities of the Talley children....we know this will be the first of MANY performances.....hopefully we will get them on tape;)

I haven't been taking too many pics lately, but here are some from tonight before Ballet practice and some from our pumpkin carving night. So Enjoy. :) AND "YES, DON IS WONDERING A LOT LATELY WHAT HIS LIFE HAS COME TO....GOING TO BALLET, BIRTHDAY PARTIES AND PLAYING LOTS OF DRESS UP:)." I always tell him "its good for you!!"

Look how "innocent" she looks.....ha!

AWWW....this one is cute.

At one point, YES...Maddie's head was in the pumpkin looking for seeds:)...i was laughing too hard to get it on camera though.
