HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANNY!!!!!!!!

Today we went and help rack leaves in the garden. Then Jack got to play and jump in the BIG pile! Ryan met us over there after he got done hunting. That evening we went to Hibachi's Japanese Steak house and Grill for dinner it was so much fun. Jack had a blast. He loved the part with the big flame. He kept saying "Fire Fire" At the end when the chief through shrimp at you no one at the table could catch them BUT Ryan and oh yeah JACK!!! He through one at Jack and he caught it in his mouth. The whole table cheered for him! He was so proud!

Daddy comes home today!!!! Wahoo!!!! We had a busy day getting ready for Daddy to come home. I baked him a Key Lime Pie, and a Pumpkin Turtle Pie for our early Thanksgiving Saturday. Mom/GaGa came and picked us around 5:30pm and we headed to the airport to pick Ryan up! We were all so excited to see him! Jack ran to him as soon as he saw him. When we got to the car Daddy gave Jack his special prize, a game that he had wanted for a while called EleFun. He was so excited. He brought Gillian a pink rattle which she loves!

Bath Time!!!

Today we hung out at the house during the morning then went over to Ryan and Ashely's to meet baby Devyn. Then headed to Mom and Iain's for our early Thanksgiving since Ryan wasn't going to be here for Thanksgiving. Or so I thought! =) We had a great evening. During dinner we all went around saying what we are thankful for and when it was Ryan's turn he said he was Thankful for his boss giving him an EXTRA week off. I just sat there smiling and nodding my head. He had said earlier he got the day after Thanksgiving off and I also thought he was talking about the week he was here. Then Sherry said "An Extra week!" and I still didn't get it! Blond moment!!!! Ryan finally had to flat out tell me that he was staying an extra week and will be leaving the 24th instead of the 18th! I was so excited!!!
