Christmas gift exchange rotation schedule

Hey all, and Happy Holidays! :) I thought that the Christmas gift exchange rotation schedule was posted on the blog at some time, but I couldn't track it down. Does anyone know where it is, and/or have it memorized?? ;) See you all SOON for (as Maggie calls it) The Wedding of the Century! :)

Aunt Amy!

We love it when Amy comes to visit. She was definitely heaven sent this trip. Because she was here, I was able to steal away to New York City for a day where I met Scott, spent some time in the city and then drove home with him that night. We also were able to make Thanksgiving dinner virtually uninterrupted while she locked herself away with the kids! In addition, she also did story time for Rex's preschool class, let Daphne drag her around the house while she held her stash, made crafts and played games with the boys, cleaned up a jug of spilled milk, cleaned up a clogged, overflowed toilet, broke her toe, went on to play laser tag with a broken toe, watched a polar bear swim over our heads at the zoo (while walking around the zoo broken toed), and just made us happy she was there. We had fun and miss her a ton!

Daphne's favorite activity was looking at the "berbils" with Amy

Dropping Amy off at the airport...so sad

Conjoined Knuckleheads

The video below shows what emerged from our basement tonight after Felix and Rex had been sent down to clean up the mess they and their neighbor-friend Garrett, and their distant (Woffinden) cousins had made when they were all over for dinner tonight.

At first while they were cleaning, Felix and Rex engaged in the typical bickering and teasing, but eventually they bonded (?!) in the way shown below. : )

LISA!!

Lisa, we want to make sure we wish a happy birthday!!  Hopefully we won't totally space out and forget to call you tomorrow :)  The kids are home from school so I am sure there will be lots of chaos, but we love you and can't wait to see you at the wedding!

Stamford Thanksgiving Parade

Because I'll be working the first part of next week, I stayed in Connecticut this weekend.

When I got home from Church, all the parking on my street was taken, and when I asked my roommate why, he explained today was the city's Thanksgiving parade.

It was a beautiful day, so I walked the 1/2 mile or so to the parade route and took a few pictures from my phone.

Maybe later I'll post my videos of Mr. Potato Head, Bob the Builder, and Fred Flintstone. : )
