Thanksgiving 2009

Aunt Katie, Grandma and Niko

Uncle Donnie and me

Niko's favorite place at Grandma's house - the pantry!

We LOVE Grandma's big sink.

Niko and Uncle Donnie.

Jenny with her new car from Uncle Donnie!

Ry-ry with his car from Uncle Donnie.

Uncle Tommy and Niko lounging in the living room.

We had a great trip to Chicago to see family.  The flight was a bit nerve-racking since I flew by myself with Niko-chan, but once we got there it was great.  Niko and Ry-ry did not like sharing the toys though... we will have to work on the big "S" word.  (Sharing.)

The weekend went by too fast... can't wait to see everyone down in Florida!

Santa... hahahahahahh!

Hahahhah!!! I could not stop laughing. Niko was terrified of Santa.... so funny. We went to Bass Pro Shop last night to get some rain gear for the Steelers game this Sunday. They didn't have what we needed in stock though... boo.

First snow

Woke up this morning to the first snow of the season. Love the way it looks out of our new kitchen.

Love the new pantry

Niko is adjusting to the new house. He's having a rough time with it... he is pretty clingy when he first wakes up or when we first get home. After an hour or so he's a bit better - I hope in a week or so he will be comfortable in the new house.

One thing is for sure... he LOVES the new pantry. He likes playing with the condiments and little canned goods.

Getting ready for Christmas!

Yea - it's early, but Target had these super-cute antlers for only $1. Too cute to pass up!

Bucket head

The Abuelos gave this pumpkin basket to Niko for Halloween.... he likes to wear it as a hat.

Halloween picts

Mmmm... animal crackers! Thanks Grandma O!

Noodles and Niko are best friends.... when Niko is carrying food that is.

Chinese Mustard or Wasabi...

Humm... do I want Chinese Mustard or Wasabi...

Wasabi!

These are two of Niko's favorite things to play with in the fridge.

Park time!

Sunday was beautiful here in KC so I dragged Niko and Neil to the park. We had a good time going down the slides and up the rock wall.

Neil gave Niko a shoulder ride and all Niko wanted to do was put his finger in Neil's ear. Eww...
