Rory's 1st birthday and Thanksgiving

Oh yes I did...I updated the blog! I only had to go back to November to begin. I must admit, I have probably forgotten many important things to write on here but let's be honest, no one cares to read about our life, you just want to see the pictures, right?!

Be sure to keep checking back as I plan to add Christmas and then our "spring" assortment this week.

November 24, 2011:
Rory Patrick turns ONE!

Taya is always trying to make Rory laugh so she's always saying, singing, or doing something funny.
And she frequently wants to love on him.


Look at the green grass out the window (I actually had to look back at pictures of Taya's gifts to make sure this photo was from November and not August). We were blessed with a relatively mild winter in central Ohio.


Of course, Taya was in the middle of the gifts. Lucky for her, Rory wasn't all that interested this year.
Yep, we still love our Nima-dog. Rory is an especially big fan of her :).



Rory's birthday was on Thanksgiving this year so his birthday dinner was extra large and yummy! Ethan smoked a turkey this year and it was delicious. We ate almost every last scrap for once.
Also featured: mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls, sweet potato casserole and raspberry jello salad. AND homemade pumpkin pie for dessert.
With Rory's birthday being on a holiday, we held his party on Sunday, November 27th. On that Saturday we put up our tree to enjoy a little before we made a nearly two week trip to Nebraska.

Taya entertaining us with some Taylor Swift (she uses this mini baseball bat as a microphone).
We had several friends join us for dinner followed by cake and ice cream.







We feel truly blessed by our "bubby".
