Thanksgiving with a little bit of Christmas

Soups on! While the big meal was being prepared we had yummy yummy squash soup to hold us over. Megan was soaking up Conary time all weekend.

Kelsey Bells was in doggie heaven all weekend. Bruce Wallaby, Lisa and Jesper's puppy got to come to family Thanksgiving too! We all loved him...except Baron. He was scared of Bruce, even though Baron could eat Bruce if he really wanted to.

Grandma-great soaking up her Joey time. He slept for a long time in her arms :)

I think there my have been and air hockey tournament going on all weekend. All of the cousins had fun playing together.

Too bad no one likes Joey. Megan wanted to show Conary that she has her own "Tim Bit" hockey jersey to go with his old jersey. Conary wanted to see if he could still fit in his old jersey...he could...sort of. Not bad considering he is a hockey goalie so it was extra big to fit over the pads.

Megan in a pretty dress that her cousins used to wear opening up a hockey goal from Uncle Donnie. She was very excited for this gift.

Who wants this gift? :)

I think everyone had a good "Christmas"

Jason and Danielle were here!!!

One thing Megan was super excited to do when Uncle Jason came was to go ice skating. She could not wait to skate with him. During this skating trip was also the first time Megan got up off the ice all by herself. But she didn't want to fall, she sat on the ice then showed us she could get up.

Gifts!?!? Megan was more than willing to help Joey open his gift.

Just playing with Aunt Danielle.

Megan was by Jason's side almost the whole visit. She just wanted to soak up as much time with him as possible. The adults wanted to talk and visit so we had to compromise by saying Megan could sit and color by Jason, but she had to let us talk.

I love love love, how Megan wouldn't let go of Jason's hand.

Happy talky-talky

Joey is very happy and playful when he gets up in the morning and our routine starts with him in he gym so I can fix breakfast for Megan and myself. On this morning I was doing a couple chores because Joey was content just playing. When I came up from the basement all I could hear was Joey talking Megan's ear off. So I grabbed the camera and this is what I got. I think it is adorable!

Hokey and Tu-tus

I believe this is week 7 and they starting working with the puck. Megan is really good and getting in position (#57 with pink on her helmet) I think she spent more time in the squat position then skating this week. She was so happy that she got to shoot the puck, it was her goal for the week :)

This is what Joey does most hockey morning, but I guess it makes sense because I have to wake him up to get him fed and dressed before we have to leave for the rink. But when he is awake he will not take his eyes off the ice,

It was picture day! Can't wait to get her pictures back. When they took her solo pictures they asked her to give them an "angry" face and they said Megan just smiled even bigger :)

Part of the instructional group.

Then at the Men's Varsity hockey game, Megan and her friend Grace had to pose with Bruiser, the Adrian mascot.

It is funny to hear all of the comments these 2 girls get when they wear their tu-tus with their hockey jerseys. Lots of "oh they are so cute" or "I love it, a little girly and a little tough" Both of them love their outfits and have worn them to almost every home game.

Megan's first time shooting the puck. Yes, she is shooting left handed, but her coach is left handed, monkey-see monkey-do. We have been working on it so she shoots the correct way.
