Thanksgiving 2010....how cute are these two?

You have no idea of the effort it took to get this photo.... thank you to Erin for being able to capture one!Braeden with Daddy...itching to get down and follow the puppy...

Petting Peanut.... Braeden is so in LOVE with this dog...

Continuing to chase Peanut...

And what was Miss Ryleigh doing while Braeden was running around all morning chasing the puppy? Her "projects"....here she was doing maze work...

Ryleigh snapping beans for the green bean casserole... she made the whole thing herself! She was sitting at an island in the middle of the kitchen on a tall stool...which put her at the perfect height! I may need to check out some home bar furniture for our kitchen.

Ryleigh with Mommy and Aunt Lisa...

Ryleigh putting the finishing touches on the green bean casserole...

Dancing slowly away from the picture....

More interested in Peanut...

Ryleigh pretty much giving up getting Braeden to stay still...

Congratulations to drinckey....you are the winner of the $60 gift certificate to CSN stores.com!

CSN.Com recently contacted me to offer one of my readers a gift certificate in the amount of $60.00....how fantastical is that? I have used CSN.com in the past to order music instruments for the music class that I teach...however- they have over 200 stores...which pretty much means you can find whatever you are looking for... (And the winner can use the gift certificate to purchase something from any of those stores...)

Some of the kids playing with the wave drums I purchased through csn.com

They sell tons of Melissa and Doug toys which we use a lot of for "school"...As our living room is in need of a TV stand, I was thinking of looking at entertainment centers, I even checked CSN.com for them...(they have them! ... Rack and Stands. com) Seriously, they have pretty much everything and anytime that I have ordered from them it came quickly and accurately....
