Thanksgiving and Christmas preparation...

Stauffer kids had lots to be thankful for... each other (Ali answered 'ZAC-EEE!' when asked in sunday school what she thankful for (how did she understand that?).
Anyway, had some time at the farm with shoofly pie, family, makin candy turkeys, the bunny, recipe exchanging, and even our first painted finger/toe nails. Yes, Zac did share his carrot with the bunny... parents too slow to react.















Decorating for Christmas and picking the perfect tree... starts with lookin', helpin daddy with the base, getting all caught up in the lights, hangin ornaments and eating some peppernuts! Videos at end are from our dancing snowman and dancing ourselves to get ready for bed. (is this how most fathers parent?)

Jumpin into November

We got some playin at the farm, mostly Zac lovin' on cousin Brook. Also videos of daddy teaching soccer and dancin. Amy has Bubba help with applesauce makin as well. Enjoy.










Put up the Christmas lights, maybe to the neighbors' chagrin. Anyway, the McKee's helped us and Zac practiced raspberries on Cory.






Sleepin and colorin... doesn't get much better.





Some morning ring around the rosie, picking our own clothes, making applesauce with mommy...






The team made the state final four (of 188 schools) in our division. Fun run, sad to end it one game before the final. These are some pics from the newspapers.
