Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving this year was spent at Tressi's house with Gabe's family. It was a nice day and the boys had a ball playing with their cousins. It was fun to be in Omaha for the long weekend and we took advantage of our time and went to Mulhall's nursery to pick out our tree. This place is amazing year-round and spared no expense for the holiday kick-off. They had lots of activities for kids, including live reindeer, Santa, a ball pit, crafts, face painting, cookies, hot chocolate... pretty much everything festive and fun for the kiddos. I think this may be the start of a new tradition for the boys.

good times at Mulhalls

Decorating our tree, destroying the ornaments... We'll see how many are left after the holiday. Reese does great, Drew is just at that age...

Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween this year with Drew as a puppy and Reese as Obi Wan Kenobi. Lots of pictures to share... Drew didn't want to miss out on any action, so we left a big tub of candy out and made the rounds with Reese and the neighborhood crew. Reese was a trooper keeping up with the kids and Drew made the journey in the stroller. The biggest surprise was coming home to find that the kids were polite enough to only take one or two pieces of candy, as the bowl was still partially full. Reese was able to hand out some more candy after we returned home, so it was a win-win.

Things started out a little shaky for Drew, but he rallied just fine

So happy to have Grandma and Grandpa Compton here to share the fun
