I'd like to report that the Uhrich's had a great Thanksgiving Break. It included everything from laughter with family, loving on my kiddos, to being thankful for such a great life. Brent and I bundled up the kiddos and headed for Wyoming to see my family at my Grandparent's Cabin in the Snow Range Mountains. Unfortunately it wasn't very snowy until Thanksgiving day and then we only got a little bit of snow, but that turned out to be a blessing because we had to travel back to the big CO that night. Little Rylers managed to pick up the army crawl like a champ this weekend and is moving along at a much quicker speed than I would prefer. Paytors can't get enough of Finding Nemo these days and thinks her day isn't complete until she has watched it. Grandma cooked an enormous dinner for us which included the traditional fixings and the ever disappearing carmel rolls that she is known for. We enjoyed our feast with the family: Grandma and Grandpa Mann, my Aunt Jane and her girls Kim and Krista, my sister Shauna and her family, Shawn and Baby Kale, and then the Uhrich Crew. We had a full table and lots of yummy food. On Friday, to my surprise and the best part of our whole break, my Mom and sister Heather came down to visit and see the kidlings. We shopped, shopped, talked, and talked some more. We also completed our Christmas purchase for ourselves and got it all put together. Wait till you see the pictures below. It is beautiful and enormous, but if you're gonna go big you might as well go huge. So we did! Well, here are some pictures below that explain it all.
Rylan's New Monkey Hat (super cute and cuddly)
Grayson and Payton when he come to visit (Yet again, super cute and cuddly)
Smilin' Rylan
Shawn and Krista
Shauna and Baby Kale (look at those baby blues)
My Marie (love her)
Finding Nemo Coma
Turkey Naps
Nap Time (my favorite picture)
The Grand Daddy of them All (We bought a Sony 52 in. LCD TV with a Blue Ray player and of course an entertainment center to go along with it) It is all about accessories isn't it?
Paytor's following my directions to pretend :)
Rylan clapping and giggling as I did what I could to look like a doofus and feel like one too. I guess it works, he was applauding my abilities.
The ornament prop didn't work out like I had hoped it would
Smilin' Rylan
This always gives me a warm feeling when I see my babies grinning from ear to ear
Payton actually started kissing Rylan without my prompting and bribing and I couldn't decide which picture to go with, so this is my way of feeling better about the decision I made
Smoochy smoochy!
The unnatural smile from my two year old but still absolutely priceless.
This was Brent's idea of my christmas gift. (Doesn't it look like we placed the tree directly on top of Rylan. Poor little guy. Thank goodness he was sound asleep.)
