Double Take #2

It's Sunday again....time to see who has the same outfit on.

Today it was Rachel and Rebecca sporting the same skirt. Rachel would have had the same shirt too, but they didn't have her size at Children's Place.

Thanksgiving Recap

We have to have the Macy's parade on...even if no one is watching. This year though it kept Rachel entertained. She cheered on the balloons

Slicing & dicing

Taters being mashed, or perhaps whipped would be more accurate

Rachel wanted to set the table. We made turkey place holders yesterday for everyone






Aaron insisted on a drumstick


And after the dinner....Zzzzzzzzz. We also managed to watch 2 Charlie Brown Thanksgiving specials, heat up leftovers, shoot some Christmas photos for Mom and Dad and watch "Elf". Now it's time for bed. Black Friday sales are coming early!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Double Take

So we all shop at the same place at our church. :)

Tis the season...

...to think about Advent. I know - I haven't posted in over a week. To tell the truth; I haven't picked up my camera in a week. Tonight we made our advent wreath to get ready for the Christmas season. Aaron was on photo duty for most of the evening.

Sneak Peek - Collins Family

Sometimes you win...

Sometimes you lose...

However, since I tend to prefer the unposed and goofy pics...it's a win in my book. :)

A little culture

Occasionally Dusty and I like to dress up, go out to events, and pretend we didn't grow up in the sticks. :) Tonight we went to a performance of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. We heard pieces by Mozart and Beethoven. We also heard a three person ensemble named "Time for Three" perform a concerto written especially for them. I especially like when they launched into "Orange Blossom Special" for their encore. I think that's a song that my uncle Hugh would play on the fiddle. I never heard him play it quite like I heard it tonight though! First rate! It was a winner all around - The seats were discounted; I like to listen to just about any type of music live; and Dusty (the perfectionist, who appreciates anything that requires a lot of talent and dedication) declared it "inspiring"!

Sneak Peek - Andrea & Malachi

Made the best of the nice weather! Isn't this the cutest little guy! He's fast too...kept me on my toes. :) You did a great job Malachi!

Trick or Treat Recap

All the Hackneys, Painters, & Bohrers (and one Tharp kid thrown in for good measure) heading out to plunder the neighborhood.

Aaron as a spy

Rachel as Snow White. She insisted on wearing her dress-up plastic heels. That lasted all of 2 houses.

The big boys: Dusty with his collar up (He said he was cold. I think he was trying to be Joe Cool.) Paul armed and ready with the camera...need I say more. Jim....with a....sword....need I say more. :)
