Work Christmas Party 12/2/09

Here's just a few of the pictures that I took at our work Christmas party this year. It was so much fun!! I definitely paid for it the next day though! It was such a great time!

Just getting started.


Amy and I.





Not too sure why everyone is on the ground...



Me and Jamerra. We went to high school together, and now we get to work together!


Babs modeling our wonderfully useful Christmas gift from Children's.


On to the next bar-and more shots!! Yikes!


Cheers to a good night!!!

Emily loves her babies

Emily loves to take care of her babies. She has such a kind heart that really shows when she's being a 'mommy.' It is so sweet to just watch her play!

Say Cheese!

Moore Thanksgiving

The Moore family Thanksgiving was at our house this year! We had it a little early trying to accommodate everyone's schedules and traveling. It was the same day as the OSU vs. UM game, so we were all dressed appropriately! Of course, our Buckeyes won!!! The weather ended up being absolutely beautiful-which you can't usually count on in November here in Ohio. The food was delicious too-only a few snafoos. Somehow I managed to burn the mashed potatoes (they had quite the smoked flavor to them), and also didn't have a propane tank to fry our 2nd turkey. There was still plenty of scrumptious food, so no one went hungry! It was a great time!


Gathering around the kids table.


My uncle's cute little girl Grace!


My stepbrother Michael and my Uncle Matt vs....


Colin and Aaron!! Not sure who won...pretty intense game!


Games inside too!

Halloween festivities!

The weather stayed nice for us this fall! We took full advantage with extra trips to the zoo and plenty of playtime outside! The zoo set up a little maze for the kids. Emily had a blast running through it! She actually enjoyed posing by the pumpkins too-cheeseball! I love it!

"This way Mommy!"







The week of Halloween Emily had a few parties to go to. Such the busy girl! We never had a big special costume picked out, we figured she had enough dress up clothes to pick out something fun. Good thing too-she picked out a new costume every event we went to! Being the girl that she is, she couldn't be caught in the same costume twice!

First, we had a party at daycare. Right before we left, she decided to be a ballerina. Kinda threw this one together-totally not ready for that one! But, it worked, and she was quite the ham!


Still posing for pictures when we got home.


Silly girl!


I love that smile!!!


We went to the first Friday party in uptown Westerville. Cinderella was the outfit of choice here! Yummy cupcakes from Schneider's bakery.



The next day we went to Genoa Township's Halloween party. It's always so much fun. We got to see the firetrucks, play games, and get lots of candy!! :)

Emily (Snow White this time!) and Saylor.



Saylor playing in the maze.




Finally then it was the big night! Despite being Snow White earlier this day, Emily opted for Tinkerbell to actually trick or treat in. Saylor, Grammy and Papa came over to go trick or treating with us. Our friends Dawn and Andy were in town for the night too.

It did not take long to get in the hang of things-they were soon running from house to house!! They were so fun to watch!!! Seeing the excitement they had, and how much fun they were having-amazing!! Made me feel like a kid again!


"Come on Saylor-keep up!"


No looking back!



Digging in!!



What a week of fun!!!!!

Fun stuff

We go to the zoo a lot, if you couldn't tell. Emily has been into posing for pictures lately (finally!).


Me-through the eyes of Emily :)


Aaron through Emily's eyes. I think we might have to ask Santa for a kiddie camera for Emily!


Here it is: The first time Emily ever wrote her name by herself...just over 3 years old.
OK, so the 'M' looks like an 'O' and you kinda have to imagine parts of the 'Y', but still! She was asking Aaron what letters to put to spell her name, and that's what she wrote! We were pretty impressed. Hence the picture of the magna doodle :)


Emily is a pretty die-hard Buckeye fan!! I've gotta figure out how to get my video of her singing the fight song on here....


So stinkin' cute, my little Buckeye. I love her!
I was just noticing-she's got the same cheesy grin/squinty eyes that I do a few pictures up!!

Emily and Barbie

Emily had gotten a Barbie for her birthday from Aunt Kristie and Uncle Todd. Her first Barbie! I think I was just as excited as Emily was! I watched her set Barbie up next to her to watch TV with her. It was too cute!!
