Random Thanksgiving pics

 Thanksgiving lunch at my parents...
 While watching the Packers WIN :)
 Day after Thanksgiving, at my G&G Shepard's, playing a
very serious game of dominos.
 Quinn had his very own set to play with.

 Quinn hanging out with his second cuz, Eric.
 Can you tell they're all related?!
Mom, Grandma, Aunt Bev (mom's sister),
and Bev's daughter (my cousin) Nikki.
 Quick snuggle with Great Grandma.
 ...And one for great grandpa, too.
Aunt Katie dressing Quinn up in a scarf...
Time to say goodbyes!

A time to give thanks!

In 2011 I am so thankful for....


These two handsome guys!


The blessing of a second (healthy) pregnancy...
And the opportunity to make Quinn a big brother!


My family! 


Celebrating three years of marriage to this guy!


...Being amazed daily at the antics of this little boy!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

First Fall Snowfall




Quinn LOVED his first experience with snow this year!

...Last year, if you can recall, he wasn't a fan!  I'm glad he enjoyed it.  When I looked out the window I saw Steve teaching Quinn how to throw snowballs at the window to get mom's attention :)

Hayride!

 Shortly before we went on the hayride... Quinn was a little uncertain at this point, and close to tears!
 On the other end of the spectrum of emotions was dad, happy as can be, as he was finally taking Quinn on the tractor! (He's waited almost two years for this big event!)
 Sisters excited and ready to go!
 It doesn't seem so scary when you're safe in your dad's arms!
 This photo makes me laugh! It looks like these two think they're the Queens of England sitting on their thrones! hehe.
 Pete's ready to go, too :)







 Relaxing after fun outside!
We didn't know if the weather was going to cooperate with our Saturday plans of taking a hayride around my parent's property,
but did it ever! ...With the help of being bundled up warm, it was actually really nice outside and we all had fun!

Quinn loves to venture out to my dad's pole shed to climb up on the tractor, riding lawnmower, and four-wheeler. However, 
we didn't know how he would react once the tractor
was actually running and making noise!

...At first he was a little uncertain, but in a matter of minutes he was over his fear and ready to climb up on the driver's seat by Grandpa!

 It was a fun day, thanks for having us over, mom and dad!
