Thanksgiving and Kids Christmas Party!

Better late than never, thats my new motto! Here are a collection of pictures from both our trip to Atlanta for Thanksgiving and the 85th kids Christmas party on Saturday!

Allie is very into coloring lately...here she is doing a Thanksgiving coloring project with Dadda!

Nate man in his Turkey Day best!

Our Thanksgiving meal...yummo!

Our 2 cutie turkeys!

Getting ready to leave for the Christmas party!

Awaiting Santa's arrival!

Allie with her friends Lauren and Kayleigh. Santa is in the background, 1st jet on the left! :)

Santa arrived this year on an F-15 Strike Eagle!

Nate man didnt mind his ear protection at all! I LOVE this picture of him!!

Kids flocking to Santa after he got out of the jet!

No tears from either child! Allie has no fear of Santa or any other dressed up characters - she actually never has! Nathan was happy as long as he could still see Greg and I!

Merry Christmas!!

Long overdue...

Long overdue 6 month pictures of Nathan and Allison's preschool picture! Sorry for the delay! Enjoy!!

Photos!

Allie, or should I say Allison (which is what she prefers to be called now), loves taking pictures with our camera. We always get a good variety of pictures...the floor, the ceiling, the TV, occasionally one of us! She even takes turns with our camera, allowing Greg and I to take pictures of her too! She is a hoot! Enjoy the pics from an evening photo shoot!

Momma posing for Allison after she gave me a makeover...dont I look lovely? :)

Dadda and Ariel posing...Ariel had to be in every picture for this photo shoot!

I think this was Mommas turn to take a picture of Allison and Ariel.

Can't forget Mukluk - Nathan was asleep or he'd have been included too!

She got a little close on this one...she cut out Ariel!!

Being silly with Ariel!

A must see video!

We officially have a crawler...life just got that much more difficult! But he is sooo cute!! :)

Halloween and Major Barasch!

Halloween was a big success for Miss Allie! She enjoyed every minute of it! She was a bit afraid last year to actually run up and yell trick or treat. But not this year...she made Greg and I stand back while she exclaimed, "I can do it myself". Okay then! Mukluk was, as usual, the hit of the neighborhood. Everyone commented that our kids were cute, but they just LOVED our dog. I totally thought it was a Japanese thing...guess I was wrong!

The other fun news this week is that Greg is official a Major! Congrats Dadda - we are so proud of you!!

Mukluk the fire hydrant was the hit, over Nathan the chicken and Allie the Fairy...really??

Sleeping on the job...

Just after Allie and I ripped off his Captain rank to show the Major's rank.

Taking the oath of office! Nice!

We love the Fall!

An array of fall themed (for the most part anyway) pictures for your viewing pleasure!

Filling up pumpkins with leaves from the yard!

Graduation day from swim lessons!

The family being silly, with Ariel helping out.

Good times at the Mullet Festival! Allie loves using Nathans stroller while he gets carried for a while.

Fun on the big slide with Dadda.

Atop the ferris wheel!


Allies favorite - the cups!

Nathans first bike ride!

Even Mukluk joins the bike ride!

Cinderella's castle!

Allie went to a character lunch with Dadda and Nathan. She met the Cat in the Hat!

The other characters that she had lunch with!

Allie doing a Halloween craft at her party - this one was called popcorn hands!

Instead of getting her face painted, she choose to get her arm painted. Its Nemo the fish!
