Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!!! We hope everyone enjoyed their wonderful Thanksgiving Day. We all have so much to be thankful for.

Nora enjoyed her 1st Thanksgiving with the Bromeier's this year. She got to see all of her mom's cousins and visit with Great-Gran, Grandma, Grandpa and many others.

She had a lot of fun playing with toys. We are very thankful for our healthy little girl. We are also thankful for such wonderful families and friends. We wish we could have been with everyone, but you were in our hearts! We love you all.

Nora got a new hat from cousin Jalen and she just loves wearing it. She did not like it at first, but now laughs when you put it on her. I got a cute little smile the other morning as we were getting ready to leave to go to the sitter's house. I couldn't resist posting it!

Now if she isn't her father's daughter. Nora is obsessed with the remote control. She is entertained by it for at least 10 minutes. She loves pushing the buttons and swinging it around. This is the only thing she will roll over for! Which is a rare occurance.

Nora is 6 months old!!!!

Well Nora is officially 6 months old now. She went to the doctor this past Monday for her 6 month checkup. She got 4 shots too! We have a wonderfully healthy little girl on our hands. She weighed in at 18 lbs 7 oz. Yes, you are seeing that right! She is 27" long and is the 88th percentile for both height and length. She is big and already wearing 9 month clothes because she is so long in the torso. Unfortunately she is not too long in the legs.

Nora has started to eat cereal and baby food. She is on her third week of baby food. She was sooo lucky to start with peas. She did not know what to think. Then we moved to green beans which she actually liked. This past week we gave her banana. I mashed a real banana up, but she didn't care for it too much. Well that is the official update. Hope everyone is doing well and has a wonderful Thanksgiving if we won't be seeing you. I will put up some pics next week of Thanksgiving! Lots of Love!

Happy Halloween!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
Needless to say we had a marvelous Halloween, if you couldn't tell by the pictures. We dressed up in multiple costumes.

The weeks festivities started on Monday evening at Grandma's house making caramel apples with Great Gran, Grandma, Jalen, Aunt Boo, Aunt Kiki, Molly and Nora. We had a lot of fun making the apples and eating the extra caramel and rice krispies! YUM! YUM!

The next event was on Wednesday when we went to Grandma's again to do our annual carving of pumpkins. Aunt Kiki, Jalen, Peter and myself all carved pumpkins. We made a huge mess on the kitchen table.

As we all know Friday night was halloween. We got all dressed up and went over to my parents' friends house for chili and candy. Nora got dressed and the poor girl just sweat to death. She was so hot in her little spider costume. Of course mom had to get a picture of her out by our pumpkins though! Yes, you are seeing the picture right. That is Peter with a huge pumpkin on his head. You could say he was the pumpkin head killer. I was his victim. We headed to a party that evening with some friends.

The next evening my cousin Kurt and his girlfriend Erin had a Halloween party. So we decided to get dressed up again. Needless to say Peter was not thrilled about wearing his giant pumpkin again so we improvised. He went as Walter from the "Big Lebowski" and I went as....well someone who just stepped out of the shower. We had a lot of fun that evening as well!

Halloween was a blast for all the Reids. We enjoyed the weekend, but glad it is over!!! Can't wait for next year!

Grants Farm

Okay, so I haven't posted forever so I will start with the beginning of October! The Reids and the Stroups went to Grants Farm on a beautiful Sunday in October. We had fun walking around and seeing the animals. Peter had never been to Grant's Farm before. We walked on the trail to get there!

The mama's and their girls!

Friends from the start!
What are they looking at?

Their silly daddy's making faces at them so they would look at the camera!






The boys pushing their girls!










What is Peter wearing you ask?

Not sure, but aren't we a cute family!
