Here are a few pictures from our Thanksgiving weekend. We had a great time at The Voakes house in Columbus. It is amazing how well all five of the older girls play together, we hardly saw them all weekend.
I got some shopping done, still more to do though. I think it was the longest time we ever spent shopping on Black Friday, we tried to begin at 11:30 for Toys R US opeding at midnight but we couldn't even make it into tne parking lot so we had to go back to the house to drop the "wimps" off and we went back out at 2:30am and got home around 9:30ish with one break to eat breakfast, we had a great time and broke Catherine in (she even said she was ready to go back next year!)
The guys got some bocce, football watching, and cribbage in throughout the weekend.
We also had a new professional photo of the girls taken, that was a long process (they were an hour behind)but the girls did good, will be interesting with a baby boy next year!

Monster Cookies

Today we made the famous Voakes monster cookies. We decided to half the recipe, I think it was a good idea (as it was, we still needed 6 eggs, 9 cups of oats, etc.)! They turned out pretty good and the girls enjoyed helping (and tasting).

The Greatest Show on Earth

On Friday night, we went to the circus, they call it the Greatest Show on Earth and I think it was pretty darn good. We all had a great time. They had an hour pre-show where you could get autographs and take pictures with the performers, the kids enjoyed it - the twins even liked the clowns so maybe there will be hope for Santa this year!
