Happy Thanksgiving

Before I leave you for the week to stuff my tummy with food, here's a little peek into what we did last weekend to celebrate a dear friend's birthday:

bruce got to see and play in the snow for the first time!

Unfortunately, we had a little accident a few hours before heading to Lake Tahoe. I had walked away for a minute and something had fallen on Bruce's face, leaving a mark between his eyes. :'( I'm so sorry, honey. I hope it doesn't scar.

I snuck in a little kiss here and there

my second attempt at making a snowman

Let me tell you, building a snowman is no easy task! My first attempt was embarrassing. It turned out to be a mound of snow, which is why I won't waste internet space to show you. ;) I don't know how people make human sized snowmen! One day... one day, I shall succeed. But for now, my mini snowman was good enough for me to cross off number 25 on my 101 in 1001 list. Yay!

We tried showing Bruce how to play with the snow but he didn't seem too interested. He loved walking around in it though. I mean, who doesn't love walking around on fluffy snow? Oh, now I'm missing all the good times we had. Snow definitely makes me smile. :)

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! And if you just so happen to play with your food and make a penguin out of it, make sure you take a picture and enter the Fan Food Contest! ;)
