Tuesday Morning In Photos
Tags:Around here just a touch of snow often results in a no-school day.
She was excited to have him home.
She caught him up on what's been happening on Sesame Street...
and Sid The Science Kid.
And then it was time to check out the white stuff.
It was cold. And icy.
They were happy to come back inside after a quick little visit to our neighbor.
And then she was ready to play in her kitchen while he played with legos.

We also had a quick visit from my Dad who drove over from the coast bearing a gift of fresh dungeness crab. One of the things he loves to do is to go crabbing - the other day he caught a bunch and cracked it all for us to enjoy at Thanksgiving.
My Mom sent me these photos (can you see that organizing might run in the family) of the picking process.
Thanks Dad! We wish you guys could be here for Thanksgiving!
Today I'm planning to spend some time in the kitchen making a couple things ahead of time for tomorrow: Pioneer Woman's mashed potatoes and her pecan pie, a chocolate pudding pie per Simon's request, and some crab dip.

I love these photos Ali. There is hardly any snow can't believe you had no school, how fun though. What a beautiful fireplace and pretty wreath on the front door, is it new? where from? Yummy crab would love some of that. Anna's outfit again is so pretty on her. Thanks for sharing your day with us, Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family in your new house.

quick question.... I love your RED door, I think you mentioned in the past the color & paint you used. Wondering if you could share that info. again. I'm looking to do my kitchen red, & I know reds can be tricky. Thank you.
Hope you & your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Love your photos!

wow...it's so amazing to see different parts of the country this time of year. I am in Georgia, and it's still practically 70 here! {yes, insane I know....} I don't know if I'd want the snow, but definitely would like the cooler weather!
Love your shares!

So jealous of that fresh crab...I'm originally from the east coast but am now living in Toronto and the thing I miss the most is fresh fish!!!!!!!!

Have a fabulous Thanksgiving with your family!

I always love to see what you put on Anna - my little guy who is a little older than her is in-between sizes so it's always an adventure when it gets colder in Indiana!
