Thanksgiving Feast

 At Taryn and Jake's school they do a Thanksgiving feast each year where the 4's class (Taryn) invites the 3's class (Jake) to a feast. The kids have been working so hard on all the food, decorations, costumes, jewelry etc for the feast. Both kids said they enjoyed the feast and wanted to take a picture in front of the teepee.

Celebrating Mommy's Birthday

 Wednesday night we celebrated Mommy's birthday at family night. the kids were very excited and Mommy was very surprised to hear Jarrett sing the Happy Birthday song since she didn't know he knew it. But I guess with teh number of parties he has been to it makes sense he would pick it up :)

 Jarrett liked Mommy's Mickey Mouse card and the kids opened all her presents for her.

 Here is a funny series of pictures of Jarrett smiling then hating the camera

Grandpa

 Sunday Grandma and Grandpa came to visit.Uncle TJ also stopped by for the Giants game and brought a gift for Jarrett... it was a T-shirt with the picture of Grandpa on the scooter in Disney. It was pretty funny.

 Grandpa also brought giant lollypops for teh kids... it made a pretty big mess.

 And Taryn tied Grandpa up... you know a normal visit :)

Jimmy's 3rd Birthday Party

 Saturday the family went up to Poughkeepsie for Jimmy's birthday party at Jumpin' Jakes. As you can see Taryn even likes to help other kids with their candles :)
