delayed Thanksgiving photos

Mommy could make lots of excuses of why her last posting was Halloween (over a month ago!!!), but instead she'll just apologize with these updated photos. Thanks for staying tuned :)

We had a blessed Thanksgiving celebration at our house this year!

Thankful for cousins to play with...

Papa's to snuggle with....

Auntie's to hug...




Yummy turkey's all golden brown!

Daddy's with wisdom to know when and how to carve it :)
(and all the other million+ reasons to be thankful for our daddy!)

Thankful for special people like great grandparents who are a part of our lives...

A special thank you for the handiwork of Gigi in making this scarf for Hannah!

Thankful for extra lap-time and snuggles with loved ones...

thankful for Auntie Teresa who rocked out with me
in the basement while the turkey was cooking.

thankful for patient doggies
that will let Elijah love on them
without even flinching.

Hannah was thankful for a never-ending 3rd birthday
that yet again was celebrated on Thanksgiving
for those that hadn't gotten to celebrate with her yet :/

and thankful for catalogs that aide in the anticipation
of the upcoming Christmas giving :)

Halloween "Ball"

We, Baldry's, had a "fairytale" Halloween this year!

We had a house FULL of beautiful people!

super heroes!

legends....

and animation!

and creativity -
Introducing this year's costume contest winners..
Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head


The weather was ideal!

allowing the kids to run out their energy

(well, ok...lets be honest; SOME of their energy!)

(along with plenty-o-sugar "re-load")


Our party was followed by an equally gorgeous fall day
- Trick-o-Treat day!

we all met up at our house...








to start our path to " a dental's nightmare on Greene Street"

running to...

and running FROM house to house....

Hannah lived the part...

Hannah has no bashfulness when it comes to seeking candy...

in fact, she'll walk up to just about everybody and anybody-

as long as they have candy in their hand!

she will fight with feirce competiteveness
(where she get that from, her daddy?)
and will leave no fallen piece of candy behind...

She started to become selective in her choosings....

literally requesting "trades" for pieces she didn't take a liking too!

in the end... this sucker was her prize piece!

me, on the other hand.... any piece of sugar,
coated in chocolate or gooey goodnes,
and wrapped in paper or plastic was just fine with me!

and collecting such yummy pieces of goodness,
alongside good friends, was...

well, just perfect~!

we came home to show daddy all of our "goods"!

until next year
(when we have an excuse to be wacky and warped :)
