Lovely Lovely Thanksgiving

A wonderful week filled with family and two date nights in a row for Dan and I. A new first this year was watching Dylan get so excited about watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Dylan called every float "Buzz Lightyear." Definitely not surprising!

Rae had two helpings of Thanksgiving dinner, while Dylan only ate bread and turkey with honey mustard on it :).

Loved spending time with the fam, loved Dylan and Rae getting to see their Mimi and Papa, and loved spending some alone time with the Dan. Great week :).

Mickey's Magic Show

This guy was lucky enough to have a good friend named Claire that had her 2nd bday party at Mickey's Magic show at Conseco. Not only was this the first bday party that he went to, but he still absolutely loves Mickey. Rae was still a little to little to appreciate it, but Dylan was the only 2 year old in the suite that was never once distracted (except to get his piece of cake) and yelled at every character by name every time they came on the stage. So cute. Also, we have a new character to love. "Mama, Jasmine beaufiiul."

"Handy Manny Alloween!"

We started our Halloween at Bubs for breakfast in Carmel. Pumpkin pancakes for all with apple butter and whipped cream. It was an absolutely lovely breakfast. The kids were super cute. Unfortunately, we were eating in a covered porch with space heaters, so you can't see the kids cute Halloween outfits under their sweatshirts. However, Dylan and Rae were trying to hold hands throughout the breakfast- which was about the cutest thing I had seen in about 24 hours. Those kind of things happen a lot around here when you have these two cuties around.

When we asked Dylan what he was going to be, he always answered, "Haaandy Maaany Allloweeen!" It was so cute. Found the tool belt, the green baseball shirt, the tools, and we were good to go! His favorite thing that he got in his bucket was his popcorn ball. No surprise there. After trick or treating we had some neighbors over for smores and Dylan had a personal dance party. When I asked what his favorite part was when he was going to bed that night he said, "Mama, shake da booty." (Right now he loves to say, "This my favorite song." He says that the most to "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz.)

Rae girl just went along. A little in her car, a little walking. She didn't really get the whole candy in the pumpkin thing, but she sure liked carrying it around! She had her first lollipop and LOVED it. :) Don't you know that girl was in bed by 6:45. :).

Side note: I stink at blogging. Those pics should be in a much more logical order up there. You get the idea.
Side note number 2: Yes, Dylan is wearing a hat advertising a Mexican beer. This was the Handy Manny hat we found at Old Navy for $2.50. The cute Handy Manny label I used to hide it must have fallen off when we were posing for our picture by the fire. :)
