Thanksgiving 2013

Happy Thanksgiving! After days of cooking over at our friends Greta and Tom's house, yesterday we enjoyed a nice relaxing Thanksgiving. I had made loaves and loaves of sausage bread, stuffed mushrooms, tomato mozzarella salad and chocolate cream pies.

and I drank some nice wine while I did it ;)

The kids did crafts

 and helped in the kitchen (manja!)

 So on Turkey day after the Macy's Parade, Cooper I headed over and enjoyed the day!

Karate Orange Belt

Two hours of adjusting his cup and laughing during sparring, Cooper earned his orange belt in karate! 

Cooper's First Grade Photo and Learning to Ride a Bike

We have been busy at school and with Karate and Cub Scouts. In between all that, our friends took Cooper's pedals off his bike and he's been practicing learning to ride his two wheeler. It's been a lot of fun!

Halloween 2013

October was a very busy month for us!  We had Halloween parties at friends' houses, school parties and of course Trick or Treating in our neighborhood!  The fall weather was perfect and the kids all had a blast.
