Boring Weekend

This weekend was a long ways away from the festivities of the last one!

I studied for 8 hours.

Worked overtime for another 8 hours.

And then baked a dairy free and sugar free banana loaf tonight.  First baked thing I've got to eat in 2 weeks!  So I liked it, but Leif thought it was rather bland.

Starbucks pumpkin spice soy lattes make a great substitute!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a lovely long Thanksgiving weekend full of turkey and family.  As always, the weekend was over way too quickly.

Here's some of Leif's family get together.


Having fun with grandpa.


The cutest guest couple.



Five out of six siblings.


Turkey cutting takes many experts.

The highest piled plate.

The spread.

The girls playing together.





The boys playing.




A game we all played.  The object of the game was to unwrap the gift with oven mitts and other interesting articles of clothing and a plastic knife and fork.





Family photo in the October sun.

The kids on the trampoline.




Soccer.

A creative way to kill the wasps.

My family Thanksgiving included birthday celebrations for these two.

A post is not complete without a self portrait.  Someone else really should be taking pictures of us!  These kind of photos are weird.

My beautiful sister once she found out I was taking pictures of her.

Later that evening we rejoined Leif's family.



Now I'm off to study all day and then work overtime all evening.  Thank goodness for Starbucks this morning and two hockey games to listen to tonight while I work!  Have a lovely weekend!

Birthdays and Cute Kids

Our nephew and I both had birthdays last month.  Here are some pictures of the cuties from my birthday party.

Enjoying the yummy tiramisu.



And then some from a little guy's first birthday!




He did not like the icing!


Opening presents.


He got so many trucks on wheels!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  I'm sure I'll have more pictures after this weekend.
