Thanksgiving/Christmas Tree

Thanksgiving this year was up in Conifer again! We had a great time as usual..eating lots of food, playing scrabble, and enjoying good company. It was also Grey's first Thanksgiving which I just know he will remember for the rest of his life...even though he slept through most of it. Mary made the yummy pies again, and Justin brought his appetite.In addition to Thanksgiving in Conifer on Thursday, we also went over to Erica and Carter's on Friday afternoon for another Thanksgiving with them! Mary and Erica made it a vegan Thanksgiving. Mary made roast beast and Erica also made a bunch of roasted veggies, and about 9 different potatoes (that's not an exaggeration)...it was a great meal, and Grey got a new hat out of the deal! On Saturday night we decided to buy our Christmas tree from the local floral shop. We paid a little extra but it's a really nice Colorado tree. They had a section of trees that were grown on a plantation, and they were perfect in shape, but they were shipped here from Iowa or something...so we wanted to support local, more natural looking trees. Mary made some really good snacks, along with the traditional orange juilius'. It was a great night decorating the tree for Grey's first Christmas! Enjoy the pics from all of our activities...

At Auntie Erica's eating keys...Thanks for the Christmas hat! We just got his 9 month pics taken in it today! Also notice the 2 bottom teeth...mary has had the unfortunate privilege of Grey using them in conjunction with his 2 top teeth as well.

Either the dogs really like Carter, or they really like food

Picking out the tree! Bet you couldn't even find Mary due to the fact that she was wearing a camo sling....I had a hard time finding her to take the picture.

Bonus pic....while folding clothes today Grey kept wanting to unfold them all, so we put him in the hamper. He did not seem to mind...also he has started waving! It's pretty cool.

Oops

Can you tell what is wrong with this picture? It is something that sent Mary into tears...

Halloween and Videos

Grey's 1st Halloween! We did end up walking around the neighborhood and sort of trick or treating. Our local coffee shop put on a costume parade around our park so we went and did that with Booty Grey in his puppy dog outfit, then we ended up walking around and seeing people's Halloween decorations and getting some candy (for Dad). He looked so cute in his little puppy outfit, although we're pretty sure he hates everything to do with it...haha. Below are also a few videos taken recently. Happy Halloween!

Snow and Cereal

We have been having a very relaxing fall break! We got our first snow on Wednesday, and Grey started eating his first whole cereal (cheerios). It took Grey a while to mush down the cereal enough to swallow it but now that he knowshow to do it, he LOVES it! He's getting very good and moving them from his hand to his mouth (even better since the video was taken), We also got a chance to get Grey out into the snow as well. Heseemed to enjoy it...for a small period of time. Enjoy the pics and video...

Puppy dog Grey

We tried to do a photo shoot of our little puppy for our Halloween cards, but it didn't go so well today. Puppy Grey was very t. Here are a few of the best shots. Enjoy!



Can you pick me up please?






Sad puppy






This is what I really wanted to do...

Evenings with Grey

Lately, Grey is not happy in the evening unless he is moving or climbing. Usually, he likes to crawl to us and climb on our laps when we are on the ground. However, yesterday, he decided to climb on the toy basket. To fully enjoy these pictures, scroll slowly :).
