Hey Griswold, nice lights!

We put up the Christmas lights this weekend too...the new LED white lights look blue. Not really what we intended, as the back of the house looks like a a law office or something. Oh well, at least they are energy efficient. Here's what 650 'cool white' Christmas lights look like:

In true Clark Griswold form, we cut our own Christmas tree too. We didn't find it in the middle of the woods, just at the local tree farm. Looks like about an 8 footer:

Someone Got a Time Out

Thanksgiving 2010

Me and Keith

So I ran into Keith Urban at the Titans game. He's a really nice guy. Not too tall though...he had 3" boots on and we're still the same height.

She's 3!!! Well, almost...

We celebrated Jeryn's 3rd birthday yesterday a few days early. We decided to forgo the BIG birthday bash this year and just spend time with the people that matter most to Jeryn right now...the Franklin's from across the street. So, this year it was swimming at the community center followed by Papa Murphy's pizza, balloons, presents and a dairy queen cake! What more could an almost 3 year old ask for? It was a fantastic time with friends!

2 Months!!

Where oh where does the time go? I can't believe that 2 months have passed. Mara is such a joy. She fusses when she is tired or hungry and really that is about it. She is sleeping longer stretches at night which is fabulous and has started to smile and giggle a bit! She had her 2 month appt on Friday and she weighed in at a healthy 11lbs 5.5 ounces!! Whoa!! Jeryn was only 10 lbs at 2 months! It is good to know that she is eating well. Unfortunately, the Anderson household has been a sick one the past week- everyone has had one version or another of a cold-Mara included. Hopefully everyone will be on the mend this week so we can get back to our playdates and happy selves.

Trick or Treating 2010

Partway through she just couldn't help herself and had to take a tootsie pop break

Jeryn and Lauren- BEST buds!

Well, my intentions of getting pictures of both girls "dressed up" last night failed. Mara fell asleep in her pink blanket and so we didn't even use the lady bug blanket like I had planned. I got a few pictures while Jeryn was trick or treating and that was it. I guess all that matters is she had a fabulous time! Lauren was so sweet and walked with her towards the end. Now I have the task of answering the question, "Where is my candy Mom?" and "Can I have a sucker now Mom?" for the next week. It was a fun day and a GREAT weekend!
