santa pic

Here is the Santa picture. i was also going to upload all of the pictures from our trip to the philly zoo the day after thanksgiving, but asia decided she doesnt need to take naps anymore. so i didnt have much time. hopefully tomorrow she is singing a different tune.

holiday decorating

i like the roof with the sweettarts on it. anya did the little trees with "stars" on them on the back of the house. and she did the stone facade.


Anya had to "dress up" her turkey for school. so, we made her a dress. =)

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful thanksgiving in our new house. It consisted of:

turkey
smoked chicken (brined and smoked with hickory wood)
stuffing
corn bread stuffing
mashed potatoes
gravy
sweet potatoes
green bean casserole
corn
macaroni and cheese
rolls

and the most important part, dessert:

pumpkin pie
pumpkin pie with nuts
two crust apple pie
apple pie with walnut struesel
pecan pie

in the words of Racheal Ray it was "YUM-O"


This is the new house...........................Contrasting the spring pic.


Our old house =( ..................................Daredevil girls on the roof.

we got our keys!!

We got the keys to our new house yesterday. the address is 6027 hazelnut dr. dover, de, 19901.

i am going to start moving carloads of stuff over every day and on sunday we are getting a uhaul to move everything thats left over. fun fun! i will post pictures soon.

tomorrow we are getting the FiOS hooked up for phone, internet and HD TV. very exciting. it is supposed to take the guy around 5 hours to get it all set up. geez. anyway.

later

our new move date- Nov. 16

the nice representative from pinnicale called friday afternoon and said that we could pick up our keys the following friday. i said great! then she called back 30 minutes later to tell me that we can get our keys early friday morning because we need to be out of this house the following monday. so much for a relaxed move over a 7 day period. my mom is flying out to help and i think if we load the truck sunday, i can find more people to help. i will send picture as soon as i can. later.

HAppy Birthday Uncle Brandon

Happy Birthday Uncle Brandon!

love, Amanda, Anya, and Asia

p.s. mike says happy birthday too

our musical girls

here are the girls playing the keyboard. they had trouble deciding who should press which keys. imagine that...

Also, Asia is down to wearing diaper only at bedtime and naptime. she has even resigned herself to pooping in the potty. if you ask her about it, she may even tell you about the time she pooped at the bowling alley. she was very proud.

our new dishes

we were down to only 4 dinner plates for a while and made the decision to upgrade to something we like better than plain black... after searching around for a while online unsuccessfully, we went down to the outlet mall in rehoboth beach. we finally settled on some stuff from the oneida outlet. the only downside is they are being discontinued so we cant break any of them. =) The mugs also have the floral design.

Also, while we were driving to the outlet mall we passed the most peculiar car. they had a board attached to the roof and the board was covered with.... TROLLS. how weird can you get?

Asia's new trick

Anya is very proud of her little sister. She can climb up into her bed all by herself. Don't forget to have the sound on, they are laughing like crazy.

Aren't they cute together? Asia's face looks kinda chubby from this angle.

Also, on a side note, here is a link to anya and asia's favorite video on youtube right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_3v7sZ_V4Y
