Thanksgiving @ Karl's

Thought I'd share a picture of the Whole Foods Feast on the makeshift table in the garage. It was a good time.
















you can't see Nora in the first one, but I'm pretty sure she was probably eating olives.

Lebron

I went to a Pacers v. Cavs game on Friday and got to see Lebron up close. It was pretty fun. At one point he told a fan that was trash talking that if he had one free pass to come in the stands (to presumably beat someone up) he'd use that pass on him.

Are You Sick of My Videos Yet?

Because I'm not sick of posting them! We went to Columbus on Saturday to visit the temple. Afterwards, we went to a mall to let Nora run around and have lunch. They had a great indoor play area that Nora just loved. She kept trying to go up this slide, but it wasn't until Richard took off her socks that she was able to accomplish the task.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RICHARD!

It's Richard's Birthday today! Hip Hip HOORAY!

Here is how we celebrated the day.

1. The Birthday Bird visited and brought donuts, balloons and a couple of presents (stuff for his bike)

2. The Birthday Bird also left Richard donuts to take to his office. Unfortunately, everyone from his office was gone today. He was stuck with a dozen donuts. I told him to eat them all himself. He opted to avoid that much gluttony on his birthday. I say, if you can't eat a dozen donuts on your birthday, when can you??!?!?!

3. Richard left work an hour early. We were really excited to see him at 4:30 instead of 5:30. We had Binner (Breakfast for dinner) at the request of Richard. We had french toast, bacon and orange juice.

4. We are now going to watch Project Runway. What a nice way to end the evening!

Happy 30th Birthday, Richard!!!!
